Bad drive hangs system boot how to prevent it to be mounted
as said in the title, I need to boot my system from sda, my system working drive
sdb is a storage working drive sdc is a bad disk, one of those drives that would hang every systems boot, if the system attempts to mount it (windows, linux doesn't matter). I need sdc connected because I want to clone it with any of the available imaging tools. Now what? Generally speaking, I'd like to have this workstation setup in a way that, at every boot, only sda is mounted (needed for the boot up), all the other sdX should be skipped from any mount attempt: I'll manually mount them on demand, if needed. In other words, they may be present additional drives attached to the SATA (or IDE) ports and they will be powered up, but I want them NOT to be automatically mounted (this is the hanging part that I want to prevent) Thank you for any tip, suggestion and or solution. Kind regards Cor |
In /etc/fstab remove or comment out any lines corresponding to partitions on sdb and sdc,
or add the noauto option. |
