Trouble mounting external USB drive

  • Hello,


    I am having difficulty with an external USB drive (portable).
    I have wiped the drive via the webui and formatted it as ext4.
    I can mount the drive through the webui (it is online) and have copied some files (via an rsync job)... but I can't find the drive at the command line.


    Am I overlooking something? I can't find the drive in /media folder (all my other disks are there).... Probably a complete noob mistake.


    I have rewiped the drive a couple times, reformatted and remounted. And rebooted OMV.


    Other commands I have tried


    Code
    omv-mkconf fstab
    mount -a




    Also here is the output of cat /etc/fstab

    Code
    /dev/sda1: LABEL="D1" UUID="d395e9cf-18a1-4cd3-a239-ca52f1cff6df" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="e4dac1d7-11bd-4e7b-943f-5693bd2ddfff"

    Many thanks in advance.

  • Having reread the output of fstab I have just realised that the mount point is /srv/dev-disk-by-label-SGExternal.


    Would this have anything to do with the fact that this drive was once formatted NTFS and mounted?


    Should I move the mount point and if so how or just use symlink?


    I'm new to this so please be gentle (I am a pharmacist by trade) haha
