Re: USB HDD not loading on either computer with Artix Linux...

Robin0800, I have a 2 terabyte USB harddrive that I use as part of my in-home file-server, so I add it to /etc/fstab so it mounts into ~/Mounted/twotera/
Like, I can mount it with fstab by just using /dev/sdb, but I can't get the UUID with sudo blkid /dev/sdb1 - I can't see /dev/sdb1 in gparted, its only '/dev/sdb'... It won't mount as /dev/sdb1, only as /dev/sdb.
sudo fdisk -l gives me this:
Device     Boot      Start        End    Sectors   Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1       1919230059 6204919772 4285689714     2T  a OS/2 Boot Manager
/dev/sdb2        544829025 1089655755  544826731 259.8G 65 Novell Netware 386
/dev/sdb3        168653938  168653938          0     0B 65 Novell Netware 386
/dev/sdb4       2885681152 2885734080      52929  25.9M  0 Empty

Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Partition 3 does not start on physical sector boundary.

Don't think you load partitions in fstab if you load the disk the partition should be seen.
Have you exfat-utils installed?
Yes, exfat-utils is installed. Something has to be missing here... Not sure what it could be. My computer seems to not recognize the partitions & only recognizes the entire HD as one thing.. I can't get a UUID with sudo blkid /dev/sdb1.. I can use sudo blkid /dev/sdb and it shows me:   /dev/sdb: UUID="A0C5-3D27" TYPE="vfat"

Well you need something to see OS/2 file system, I have no idea what that is.

I have no idea either! But at least we're making progress on this issue!
OS/2 filesystem.... hmmmmmm.... Maybe maddog knows? Hopefully he will reply sometime today or tomorrow.

It worked on Manjaro, Debian, Fedora, Devuan, quite a few distros. So I must be missing something basic... I think.

Could you plug the disk into another distro, mount it and show us the output of 'mount' and 'lsmod' to see what filesystem is used and which fs module?

Hey Nous, I have my netbook which runs Debian. How do I do this? I just type mount /dev/sdb1? How do I get the output of lsmod? I'm sorry I'm not too clever at this yet. If you could show me examples of the commands then it would make it much easier :D

No mount your usb hdd in debian, you said it did mount, and in a terminal  issue the commands "mount" and separately "lsmod"

What robin0800 said; make sure the disk is mounted and issue both commands without arguments. Paste the output here using code tags to make it readable.

Code tags is the # in the second row of buttons. you select this then  you place your code in the middle of the brackets

Your disk is one single partition, /dev/sdb, formatted as vfat. There's no regular sdb1, nothing special really, except for the fdisk output that suggests factory-created partition table. Is udisks2 installed in Artix? Disk and shares automounting is a job for helpers like udisks2 and gvfs, see the relevant Arch wiki article.
I suggest you get rid of that ugly partition table by backing up your disk somewhere and using gparted or cfdisk to create a single partition with a more modern filesystem like ext4 or exfat/ntfs if you use that disk with spyware like windows.

Re: USB HDD not loading on either computer with Artix Linux...

Exfat for me works out of the box  in both read/write,  in artix although gparted does not format it  had to do that in windows.
