PLEASE IGNORE THIS POST! Looks like the Loki installer altered (or rather, f*cked up) something in my partition table. My other linux distro now also fails to recognize the other partitions! Now I know exactly what Hillary Clinton must be feeling like.... :-( Well, today I had to install Elementary 0.4 when 0.3 stopped working after an update. The NVidia proprietary driver somehow failed (black screen) and manually reinstalling the driver also failed, leaving me little other choice than upgrading right now. Anyways, in Freya, when I open the Files application I got a list of my other partitions in the left column. Clicking one mounted and opened that partition and all worked fine. In Loki I don't see any of my other partitions. How can I fix this?
start with the lsblk command, maybe it shows something like: sdb 8:0 0 232,9G 0 disk ├─sdb1 8:1 0 217G 0 part then use the blkid: blkid /dev/sdb1 make sure there is a filesystem on it like ext4. Create a mountpoint, e.g. mkdir /mnt/data1 create a mount unit: sudo -e /etc/systemd/system/mnt-data1.mount [Unit] description = my first data disk requires = local-fs.target [Mount] What = /dev/sdb1 Where = /mnt/data1 What = ext4 Options = defaults [Install] WantedBy = default.target Save it, and execute: sudo systemctl enable mnt-data1.mnt sudo systemctl start mnt-data1.mnt Of course you can change the description in the unit file. Make sure that the filename of the unit correspondents with the name of the mountpoint.
