I have a hard drive that contains a bunch of software and data from my previous PC. After upgrading my work unit, I just attached the drive and found the contents in a directory with a default name.
/media/user/839bfea0-099a-4971-a198-9312992d4a57
It has been this way the last few years, and I was too lazy to change it. In order for all the software and data be accessible, I just mount the drive once every time I boot up. It's not much of a problem.
But just today, there had been a series of blackouts and my UPS was not working, so my work unit lost power several times. I think it must have affected my unit and my drive cannot be found. I tried to reattach the drive, and it was successfully discovered, but the thing is there are two drives now which looks like this:
The original drive name cannot be opened, prompting that I don't have permission to open it. It has an x icon instead of a drive icon. I cannot cd
into it in terminal. Cannot perform chmod
on it too.
Then I noticed this new drive. It has the same name as the previous one, except it is ending with 1. It contains all the contents of the drive. So I'm suspecting it had just been renamed. Although, since I have a bunch of software outside this drive that access software and data inside. It would be much of hassle to change repoint everything to this new location. I was hoping I could just rename it back to its previous name instead to preserve everything that references to it. Is there any way to do this?
ls -la /media/user/839bfea0-099a-4971-a198-9312992d4a57
andid -u
. And alsocat /etc/fstab
(You can limit it to the correspondent line).
