Edit fstab to permanently mount an external drive.
Every time I have edited it my raspberry pi 4 just hangs saying locked out of root
Note
I know the above may not be a owncloud issue but pretty flummoxed by this issue
Any help would be appreciated. I have cross posted this problem in the RPi group as well.
Previously done the following successfully
installed owncloud
added external nvme drive using exfat
mounted the drive with appropriate permissions
validated that the file is actually getting written to the external drive (by owncloud) by plugging it into another computer and checking if the test files were there
Found a pretty cool document on fstab. Obviously human error :).
Figured out my mistake though and finally fixed it. Still struggling with the ‘local’ drop down though.
Once I have everything working, planning to write a single post with all the instructions. right now I’m still stuck on the Local not appearing in the external drop-down list .
Please keep in mind, that /etc/fstab is a danger zone on any linux system. I’d strongly recommend to fix all your issues with a manually mounted volume. Finally you can mount it with fstab.
