[SOLVED] usbmount on pve5

[RobFantini]

we used usbmount to attach large usb drives - then used a cron script to send vzdumps , templates .

usbmount is not in stretch, however a few of our systems still have the package installed - the ones that got upgraded from jessie to stretch.

usbmount was not working with systemd , so i thought it was dead.

usbmount i alive and well. this person solved the issue: https://superuser.com/questions/1265412/automounting-usb-drives-on-a-headless-systemd-linux-box

systemd change:

#
# 2018-02-08  for usbmount changed this
#   https://superuser.com/questions/1265412/automounting-usb-drives-on-a-headless-systemd-linux-box
#MountFlags=slave
MountFlags=shared

install using git. https://github.com/rbrito/usbmount

maybe next debian release buster and stretch backports will get the package. so check that before using git if you want

we are happy to to again just plug in certain configured drives and have rsync put and get the files. no more manual mounts.

for stretch systems usbmount from debian testing works.

go here to download and see md5sum:

https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/usbmount/download

apt install lockfile-progs
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/u/usbmount/usbmount_0.0.22_all.deb
md5sum usbmount_0.0.22_all.deb
dpkg -i usbmount_0.0.22_all.deb

well after an update to debs , or a misconfiguration on my part usbmount no longer works. will try to fix. i do not suppose anyone else tried to use usbmount?

I know this is not a pve issue. forgive the not tottaly on topic thread.

dmesg after plugging in drive

so the last line makes it seem the operating system thinks it is mounted. however none of the 4 drive mount.

I will fix this or use something else besides usbmount.

any suggestions?

I decided that since usbmount is not in stretch to remove usbmount and instead use /etc/fstab

# 
# 
# use  dmesg and blkid to get UUID 
# 
UUID="put uuid here" /media/usb2 ext4 nosuid,nodev,nofail 0 0

that tested ok on reboot with drive attached [ it mounted] and not attached [ system did normal boot].
