Could you enlighten me as to why this is happening, and give me some advice as to how I can fix it so that my backups boot no matter what (if anything) is plugged into the Raspberry Pi?
It sounds like you don't have a 'nofail' option on your fstab entries for the drives that may or may not be present when you boot up.
If that's not it, I would need more information about these drives and their fstab entries.
Sorry for such a late response. I got too busy to tackle this right away.
I'm not sure what you mean by a 'nofail' option. Where can I set the 'nofail' in my /etc/fstab file?
Here is what my /etc/fstab[ file looks like:Any suggestions/advice/solutions you can think of? Thanks for any help!Code:
