 |
|
I noticed recently whenever I wanted to do a grub-mkconfig i had to constantly make sure my /boot partition was mounted. Sure enough after every reboot it isnt mounted
This line is in my fstab file:
/dev/sdc2 /boot vfat noauto,noatime 1 2
I had it as a UUID, but because its a vfat filestystem (im guessing its the reason, still not sure) it was only an 8 digit UUID so I changed it to the drive/parition sdc2.
When I do a:
mount -a
it does nothing.
but if i manually mount with :
mount /dev/sdc2 /boot
it will work.
What gives?

If you have "noauto" in your fstab on the line with the mount, it will not mount with mount -a ... ?
Change to:
| Code: | | /dev/sdc2 /boot vfat noatime 1 2 |
?

:/
That makes too much sense:
I must have blindly copied the example and rushed through, I knew it was something easy because I couldn't find the appropriate answer by googling or searching through forums |

No problem, sometimes it takes another set of eyes to see the problem.

| Unless you are frequently updating that filesystem, you may be better off with it unmounted. It is admittedly inconvenient to mount it when needed, but it only needs to be mounted if you are reconfiguring grub or the kernel. At any other time, you can leave it unmounted to avoid the risk of needing to fsck it after a crash. |
