Reply To: Mount a USB HDD plugged directly into my Raspberry PI?

Hi Heiner,

Thanks again for your help; unfortunately, this issue is not yet solved. While the filesystem easily mounts (as /media/usb0 (Device /dev/sda1 with UUID 0BF3-110E).

It’s important to note that this same WD Passport USB drive was prior to this used as a NAS to store music for my system, and worked fine. I am trying to use it without any change as a directly plugged HDD. I have also tried a second WD Passport directly plugged into my RPi.

I’ve checked the properties of both of these drives. They are both set up for sharing with no restrictions.

Here are the specifics of the mount:
Path: UUID=0BF3-110E
Mountpoint: /media/usb0
Type: vfat
Options: defaults,nofail

The drives are both formatted as FAT32. They are both „shared“.

The media scan details shown in LMS are:
Discovering files/directories: /mnt/share/music (1 of 1) Complete 00:00:01

Building full text index (7 of 7) Complete 00:00:00

Database Optimize (2 of 2) Complete 00:00:11

The server has finished scanning your media library.
Total Time: 00:00:12 (Thursday, February 28, 2019 / 9:45 am)

Any ideas? I’m pretty stuck…

Thank you sir!

Dave
