Random SSD mount path

mx04 · June 4, 2018 at 7:26 PM

Hi,

I have an external SSD attached to my RPi 3 running LibreELEC 8.2.5.

LibreELEC System automatically mounts the device to one of the paths (which one is random):

- /media/sda1-usb-SATA_SSD_FX_0000

- /media/sda1-ata-SATA_SSD_AA4C072

How can I tell LibreELEC to mount the HDD every time to the same path?

Thanks and best regards

Max

You need to set the disk "label" and then the device will mount with a consistent name based on the label. In the absence of one it randomises the mount point each time you connect.

Code

e2label /dev/sda1 new-label-name-here

^ if the device is /dev/sda1
