Mounting issue with HDD under Raspbian 10 (RPI os?)
by polarbear20000 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5QTKQ)
OK, I've been fighting this for a time and my mind is burnt.
I have a Raspberry Pi 3B+ in my RPi stable that I've decided to use in an Internet Radio receiver project. The installation of the OS is no problem - I've done it before.
My problem comes when I try to mount a notebook HDD. The RPi sees the swap space that I set up, no problem. I've partitioned into a 2 gig unused, a 4 gig for swap, and the rest ~690 gig for data.
I am aware that a HDD is slower than the SD card, but I wanted to try it and see. My thoughts are to use it to hold a good chunk of my music library on those occasions I don't have a network connection to my media server.
/dev/sda1 - unused
/dev/sda2 - swap
/dev/sda3 - data
I've set up a mount point in fstab, as follows:
UUID=9a8108b5-56fb-41c6-b315-eaa0975341ef /mnt/jukebox ext4 rw,relatime,nofail,user 0 2
I'm a little rusty on setting mountpoints, so I could have something wrong there.
When I try manually mounting the drive's /sda3 partition, I get this error:
> sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/jukebox
column: /dev/sda3: Permission denied
and later after chown'ing /mnt/jukebox to me:
column: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
Isn't column a command having to do with how data is displayed onscreen??
I have checked power to the drive and it's good to go, especially with accepting the swap partition.
Flash drives usually mount right up, but don't have the capacity I desire.
Any ideas? I debated posting this to the Debian forums instead but wellllll, it's a Raspberry Pi and wanted to try here first without crossposts.
Thanks in advance.
