Kodi not mounting 8Tb internal drive

DVDude · January 26, 2018 at 6:01 AM

Have an internal HDD with label "kodi" that is not being mounted. I have attached outputs of blkid, mount, and dmesg to this post. Any help would be appreciated.

So you have 3 HDD/SSD devices. If this is in a LibreELEC-only machine, I would suggest you use the native Linux EXT4 disk format instead of the Windows NTFS format for your internal disk(s). At least, if that is still possible, and you haven't completely filled the drive(s) yet.

Code

/dev/sdb1: PARTLABEL="Microsoft reserved partition" PARTUUID="1666f0c7-4885-4e30-b5a1-9c023504b214"
/dev/sdb2: LABEL="Kodi" UUID="38E69402E693BE96" TYPE="ntfs" PARTLABEL="Basic data partition" PARTUUID="ff8a07cc-1c6d-4735-a314-37f14abc7c88"

/dev/sdc1: PARTLABEL="Microsoft reserved partition" PARTUUID="7bad878f-bfa8-401b-b8c1-4eaff7a8acd5"
/dev/sdc2: LABEL="Movies" UUID="E04C0F7A4C0F4B2C" TYPE="ntfs" PARTLABEL="Basic data partition" PARTUUID="261a6e76-3604-4e67-bb48-d7d560945390"

Both NTFS drives have a Windows system/recovery partition on them. Both only take up useless disk space. Create single primary EXT4 partitions if possible.

Code

Only 1 device has been mounted, the 'Movies' HDD. The other, big one, 'Kodi' labeled device is not mounted. It's possible that this HDD is still in some 'dirty' Windows sleep/hibernation state. Or that perhaps disk errors have been found. Linux is kinda picky on that, but only to not mess up things any further. Mount the disk on a Windows machine and do a full check, with a proper system shutdown.

You can also try a tool like GParted to check on your disks/partitions.

will give the scan a try. and yes the kodi drive already is 90% full of data.
