I am not having much luck getting this 12 tb drive to mount in fstab. I can mount it just find from linux. i tried using the label and the uuid but while mounting it just gets error after a few minutes and drops to console.
Is there some problem with mounting drives this large in fstab ?

Re: Btrfs mounting on a 12tb drive seems to fail
here is one error i get
failed to mount /mnt/disk21
A start job is running for /mnt/disk21 (1min 44s /3min 1s) [117076028] BTRFS error (device sdk1): open_ctree failed
[FAILED] failed to mount /mnt/disk21
see 'systemctl1 status mnt-disk21.mount' for details
[DEPEND] dependency failed for local file systems.
I did the systemctl1 status mnt-disk21.mount and it just says
Active: failed (result: timeout) since Sun 2018-12-30......
also this
mounting process esited, code=killed status=15
mnt=disk21.mount unit entered failed state
--- I can mount it just fine when the system is loaded.
I tried using uuid or dev id in fstab i tried auto and btrfs as file system it seems to be taking to long to read the drive.

Re: Btrfs mounting on a 12tb drive seems to fail
If i mount the drive manually
sudo mount /dev/sdk1 /mnt/disk22
This will work but it seems to take near a minute to mount the drive.
I think i need a way to get fstab to wait longer. I tried adding nofail but it still fails.
sudo mount /dev/sdk1 /mnt/disk22

Check the systemd journal for any messages during the delay, this will "follow" new entries and print them as they are made:delina wrote:If i mount the drive manually

Code: Select all
journalctl -f
Code: Select all
grep sdk1 /proc/self/mounts

Re: Btrfs mounting on a 12tb drive seems to fail
for now i kind of got it to work
I used
uuid=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /mnt/disk22 btrfs nosuid,nodef.nofail 0 0
so it mounts in /mnt/disk22
the problem is btrfs is so slow mounting it can take over a minute the rest of the drives are all ext4 yet till i understand how btrfs works better. i am running mergerfs and joining the btrfs and ext4 into one large drive. it sort of works the problem is the btrfs drive likes to disappear or un-mount with no warning. I am it seems to be working now for a few days.
I just give a tip if you use btrfs on 12 tb drives it takes a long time for them to mount and do things. They do seem fast enough after they get done with there maintenance.

Just a note the disk utility i used was gnome disk utility but it was older version that did not have btrfs support yet. I checked the develpment of that utility and they seem to be adding it so you can specify compression and such in the utility for btrfs. I hope they move this out for stable use soon.
