  • Don’t do that.

    Coming from non-linux, it’s not usually a problem. But now I know better :)

    fstab is just a config file so the computer knows what drives and storage volumes its supposed to have when it boots.

    You can add and remove drives without ever editing fstab. Plugging something in should give you the option to mount it in your file explorer, and in the same place you should be able to “eject” it before disconnecting the actual cable.

    I know that, but this particular drive was meant to be permanently mounted and accessible, which is why I added it to fstab. I am removing it because it’s damaged and i have to replace it with something which isn’t to act as a permanent drive for the server.

    Thank you for your help :)



  • It’s mounted to /srv which is not empty, and I can also still browse some of the folders on the removed drive, which is also confusing :) I don’t understand how that’s even possible.

    Edit: It does not show up as a drive, but the mount directory is still there with a folder structure and a single file.

    Edit2: I deleted the folder which seems to have done the trick. Still confused about how and why it was still accessible…














  • Var på sommerhustur med mit arbejde igår, bare vores afdeling. Bål og øl og guitar og mad, og så i seng ved 1-tiden.

    Havde det fint da jeg stod op, tog et bad, men den halve times køretur til kontoret slog mig næsten ihjel, så nu har jeg kvalme og lugter svagt af bål og har først fri om 5 timer :/

    Edit: Jeg klarede den uden at dø eller brække mig!
