Created attachment 52956 [details] script showing various settings Version: 2.0 (using KDE 4.4.2) OS: Linux I have a 1Tb drive with 1 primary ext4 partition that used to mount intermittently via fstab, but would mount normally using mount. I think that was down to the physical mount order during boot. However I was using gnu ddrescue to copy an image of a partition to the mount point on an occasion the drive didn't mount. When I noticed this I removed the files created and recreated the mount point. Now it doesn't mount at all either through fstab or manually. I have since created a Label for the partition and used that in fstab and tried various different mount points. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Create primary partition ext4 on 1TB sata drive. edit fstab to mount into a home folder leave it unmounted use ddrescue to copy a partition to the mount point press Ctrl-I to quit delete files and folders try to mount the partition to a mount point Actual Results: partition will not mount Expected Results: partition should mount I heard there was an issue with mapper for this ubuntu version 10.04 and the problem might not have been resolved over in kubuntu 10.04 x64
If the partition cannot be mounted using the "mount" command, it could be because of file system corruption. Try "fsck" command to repair it. Another reason is missing access rights, so you need to use the commands with "sudo". More help is available at the Ubuntu forums at http://ubuntuforums.org/ I am closing this bug because I see no indication why it should be KDE related. If you see a KDE related problem, please add a comment.
