Yeah, can't really explain why either...

I've tried changing pretty much everything in /etc/fstab to no effect, another weird thing is that the system can boot without /etc/fstab being present... Though only the ROOT partition gets mounted. Any Ideas? (Ignore the *s, they are so that the # appears instead of lemmy enlarging the text)

Any reason to mount them under /run/media from fstab ? Do they mount correctly when mounted manually?

[–] Presi300 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dunno, genfstab generated it like this, and what fixed it is moving them from mounting on /run/media to mounting on /mnt

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think that's because /run is a virtual filesystem, like /proc or /sys. It only mounts after a certain point during the boot process. /mnt or any directory under your home dir should work.
