My knoppix on pendrive can't see other drives
I was using for months knoppix 7.4.2 with persistence on a pendrive as my main OS. Two days ago it had a fall from the table to the floor. Now it still works but I can't read nor write any drive othe than the pendrive.
PcmanFM, mc, gedit and vlc can't see them neither. Any ideas? Thanks. |
What are the other drives?
The only thing that fell to the floor was the knoppix pen drive? Nothing happened to the actual computer that the pen drive is plugged into? The fall should not of damaged the drive itself. |
The USB fell or the computer?

I'm using an Exo netbook. Partitions of the hard disk that knoppix can't see:
The partition where Windows resides. The partition where Ubuntu resides. A third partition. Ubuntu's df says that they are: /dev/sda2 /dev/sda6 /dev/sda7 My machine is: lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx DMI Bridge 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family PCI Express Port 1 (rev 02) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family PCI Express Port 2 (rev 02) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family PCI Express Port 3 (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB controller: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) |

Post the output of the mount command (without any options)

Sorry. lsblk command is really what I wanted. If nothing changed then not sure why knoppix will not automatically mount the drives.

The problem is now solved: As my data couldn't be copied to any device I uploaded them to Drive, prepared a fresh Knoppix pendrive and the restored my data to it.
I guess that the reason was not the fall: When the pendrive fell to the floor all my eight pendrives were on the table because I was relabeling them to USB_1, USB_2 and so. Maybe Knoppix doesn't like its drive to be renamed. Thanks to @michaelk and @jefro. |
relabeling them with paper and ink? or changing the partition information?
The only thing the fall might have done would be to change some data bits which could do unpredictable things. But if you changed the root filesystem label, systemd when the /etc/fstab is missing or wrong will mount the / partition as READ-ONLY. Which will prevent other things from happening. Like mounting a RW partition to it, or logging. You should have still been able to see the partitions though. $ cat /proc/partitions |
