Good morning all,
This problem has been bothering me for several weeks.
I have 2 ESATA cases that connect to a ESATA card in my computer. All 8 drives are seen and I can move files back and forth. my NFS works great.
but,
in the gui all of the ESATA drives look like squares with question marks in them and not actual hard drives. THe question is how do I fix this ?
Here is what I see in /etc/fstab and fdisk -l
Any thoughts ?
Thank you ..
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

# / was on /dev/sda5 during installation
