[SOLVED] Partitions are mounted but show as unmounted in the sidebar of Dolphin

Hi all!

I recently got a second SSD HD (see this thread).
Now I am wondering that the same fstab entries I used for ntfs-3g and ext4 partitions on my old SSD HD do not work for mounting partitions on the new one.
Here is an example that works on my older, first drive:

Code:

# Entry for /dev/sda3 :
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxx /media/osgeo ext4 defaults 0 2
# Entry for /dev/sda5 :
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxx /media/win_d ntfs-3g defaults,nofail,umask=000 0 0

So I adjusted that for the second drive ( also ntfs-3g and ext4) and the partitions can not be mounted (system is going to emergency mode at startup).
What works here is:

Code:

mount -t ext4 -o umask=007,gid=046,uid=0 /dev/sdb2 /media/Intenso_III
mount -t ntfs-3g -o umask=007,gid=046,uid=0 /dev/sdb5 /media/Intenso_I

O.K. It works fine. (copying, moving, deleting, executing, etc.) but in the sidebar of Dolphin file manager the partitions of the new HD appear as unmounted so that I have to mount them inside Dolphin:

Does someone have a tip?

I guess Dolphin has a different kind of mount. If you can use /media/whatever it is mounted, just it is not properly detected.
What is in your /etc/fstab ?

This is my fstab which is working fine except in Dolphin:

Code:

# Entry for /dev/sda1 :
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxx /media/win_c ntfs-3g nofail -o rw,umask=007,gid=046,uid=0
#
# Entry for /dev/sda2 :
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx / ext4 noatime,acl 1 1
#
# Entry for /dev/sda3 :
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /media/osgeo ext4 defaults 0 2
#
# Entry for /dev/sda5 :
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /media/win_d ntfs-3g nofail -o rw,umask=007,gid=046,uid=0
#
mount -t ext4 -o umask=007,gid=046,uid=0 /dev/sdb2 /media/Intenso_III
mount -t ntfs-3g -o umask=007,gid=046,uid=0 /dev/sdb5 /media/Intenso_I
mount -t ntfs-3g -o umask=007,gid=046,uid=0 /dev/sdb6 /media/Intenso_II
#
none /proc proc defaults 0 0

The syntax for all file systems in fstab should be the same i.e.

Code:

filesystem     mount point   filesystem type    options  dump  fsck

You can find the UUID for each using the blkid command and create entries similar to the others.

Thanks to all!

I think I simply made to many mistakes while testing and editing the fstab.
Works now.
