When transferring(FTP)files over 1 GB from Windows 7 to my EXT3 formatted HDD drive (ESATA drive at Dreambox 500 HD Sat. receiver) ESATA drive dismounts. fstab: #automatically edited by enigma2, Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:55:13 rootfs / auto defaults 1 1 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0 /dev/mtdblock2 /boot jffs2 ro 0 0 tmpfs /var tmpfs defaults 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/sda /media/hdd ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/disk/by-uuid/b64431c8-4f59-4c2f-a3f3-f512e5dfb7bb /media/hdd noauto defaults 0 0 drive is mounted as /dev/sda 1 but in fstab th "1" is missing ?
probably sonething to do with the hardware, but the usb looks a little strange as defaults.. try rw, noauto whether it specifies sda1/2/3 depends if there are any sdax already defined.. as there are not it's leaving it pluggable and making an assumption there will only be one partition on external media.
