Help: Caja Bug Unable to Mount

Support & Help Requests

#1

Im not able to mount any drive on my laptop. I dont know why.

I have only 1 disk on my laptop which is sda, have 4 partition, 1 for root ext4, 1 for swap, 1 for data ext4, and 1 ntfs.

normally, it should mount the ntfs drive when clicked but at some point it doesn't do that anymore, instead it gave me error.

temporarily solution for now is
sudo mkdir /media/external
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /media/external -o uid=1000,gid=100,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137

i dont really know what the code does, I just copied it from some places, it just works. why did this happened? I need a permanent fix. that code just now is to mount my ntfs drive only which is located in sda2, i dont know how to mount flashdrive using the same method.

I'm now able to mount flashdrive, by creating new directory in media folder, I named it "external2" then using the same code with option vfat (because the flashdrive is fat32), and sdb1 as the selected partition.

#3

after rebooting the laptop, all drives are unmounted. and to remount, I have to repeat the processes.

#4

oh, one more thing, I cannot unmount the drive from CAJA or Desktop. I have to do it manually using
sudo umount /media/somefolder

hmmm strange, for now I think I should make a executable script for mounting, only for now.

up, no one experienced this or corona is getting into mate?

well its workable by using sudo mount, i guess this thread resulted as unsolved mystery. i already switched to Zorin, so I guess this is it. the end of the line.
