The filesystem type, or the algorithm used to interpret the filesystem.The mount point, where the data is to be attached to the filesystem.The device name or other means of locating the partition or data source.All we want to do is add another entry at the bottom for our USB drive. dev/mmcblk0p3 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0 This will bring up a text editor with something like this: This is a system file, so you’ll need to use sudo to edit it as root. You can edit the fstab file using the built-in text editor. Take note of these two values this is where we’ll mount it within fstab. dev/sda1 1953512000 1897227140 56284860 98% /media/usb0įrom that result, I can see that my USB drive is device /dev/sda1 and is mounted at /media/usb0. Use the df command to work out where your device is dfįilesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on So, either open up a terminal on the machine or connect via Putty. Once that’s done, we need to jump into the command line (this is Linux – were you expecting anything else?). Once done, plug in the drive and wait for it to mount. So, start up your Pi with the USB drive disconnected and wait till it boots. Then we can just use that location as our “forced” one. To work out where we want the drive to mount, I found it easiest to just get the Pi to mount it itself to see where it put it by default. We can edit this to include our USB drive and make sure it is mounted where we want it to be on every boot. The fstab (/etc/fstab) (or file systems table) file is a system configuration file that lists all available disks and disk partitions and indicates how they are to be initialised or otherwise integrated into the overall system’s file system. So, we need to get the drive to automatically mount when the Pi starts up.
So, media is unavailable and, if you do a clean through XBMC (like I did ten minutes ago), it’ll wipe all media info from the database. Sometimes, when I boot up the Pi, it doesn’t mount the external drive. I’m using an external USB drive to store media.

I’m using the excellent Raspbmc distribution to turn the Pi into a mini media centre PC using XBMC. I’m still getting the issue with the latest release so thought I’d best document the steps for when I inevitably have to do this again in another month. I spent a while figuring this out about a month ago with a Linux expert colleague (hi, Caz!) but didn’t write any of it down because it was going to be “fixed in the next release of Raspbmc”.
