I just created my first Ubuntu desktop machine to run as my media server for Plex. I have a new SSD with the OS on it, two 1TB drives mirrored, and one 1.5TB drive. The problem I have is that I cannot get to any of the drives outside of the SSD, and even the SSD shows as not mounted in the file manager. I feel like I hosed something up.
Plex can't see the additional drives that are in /media/username/...`,
Netatalk can't see any directories in there either, but I can connect it to /home/username/Documents
without a problem.
I don't even know what info to provide to allow people to help me. I ran fdisk
to see if anything was up, and saw two warnings:
WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/md127'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sde'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
I installed GNU Parted and the drive mounted as /dev/md127
(raid 1 drive) looked fine. Same for /dev/sde
.
I have the SATA setup in BIOS to use AHCI for all but SATA ports 4 and 5 which are using IDE. The 1.5TB drive (/dev/sda3
) is connected to port 5, and that's one of the drives I can connect to with file share, but not from any programs, but it's not one of the ones mentioned above in fdisk
.
fdisk
shows those warnings because it works on MBR drives (i.e. msdos partition table in gparted), and not GPT drives. You're looking forparted
instead.mount
andlsblk
?
