Hi, i have this houve problem and I cannot solve It: I updated my os to the 3.6.1 version. But when I boot the pc the GRUB menu shows up and it enters on a infinity loop. Here what I see:
I reistalled endless os. Now I am trying to mount my HDD (I use a notebook with a SSD) to install games in there. I am using steam. What caused the problem last time was:
when I mount my HDD it not last until the next boot. Then I always have to mount it again. I used the following commands:
umount /dev/sdb1
sudo mkdir /mnt/steamgames
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/steamgames
sudo nano /etc/fstab
in /etc/fstab there is this line: LABEL=ostree / ext4 errors=remount -ro 0 0
and I add a second line: UUID=correct-uuid-for-/dev/sdb1-with-blkid /mnt/steamgames ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0
It fixed the steam problem of finding the correct path to add the games library folder (it did not show up in the /run/media/silvio/hellzinhoHD the path where the HDD was mounted and /dev/sdb1 was read-only for steam’s eyes) but cause the problem during the boot.
I don’t see anything wrong with your procedure there, but it does seem to have caused you the failure last time. I wonder if the UUID was mistyped, for example if you missed the hyphen - characters from the UUID.
Anyway, change defaults,noatime to defaults,noatime,nofail
I think this will mean that boot will continue even if it cannot mount the device (although there may be a delay).
If it boots without mounting it then at least you’ll have a working system that you can login to and debug further.
