HDD error found in system log - SOLVED

Post by bushyiii »

Periodically my system locks up and I have to do a hard boot. Today I checked the syslog and the 1st item I find that is concerning is errors for an attached hdd. Using gparted the drive was checked and came back clean so I am wondering why the boot process is flagging the drive and putting it into read only.

Code: Select all

I was able to finally figure out why the error occurred and ultimately cured it since I caused it through my ignorance of Linux.
I did not know that LM21.1 would automount attached drives to /media/guy.
Before I added 4 attached USB drives using fstab to my desktop I used the terminal to mount /sdf1 to /media/guy, later when added the drives to fstab it caused conflict that was recorded in the syslog that was also trying to use /media /guy

After clearing the mount point for sdf1 the syslog came back clean.
