More infos please…

Did you try to mount this HDD in Fstab or what was the change?

Edit:
How did you mount this HDD? Are you talking about the temporary mount option in Dolphin?

Are you talking about External USB?

6

I don’t remember that.

I was doing that by this guide Mount a external hard drive with execute permissions - #4 by DeLinuxCo

As i said more infos needed…

1.so did you use KDE Partition Manager and clicked on Mount on Start?

Or did you use gnome disk under KDE? :crazy_face:

2.Do you have your External USB Drive connected now, while you booting?

3.How did this Emergency mode appeared, just after a normal restart?

It fixed. Do you know how. Let me tell you about it. Well, I just write password in that and run startx command then my system open different Manjaro but there are all of my application. Then, I deleted gnome disk and rebooted. After that, I entered my windows system because I use those as dual boot. Then, I just rebooted windows. Finally it worked.

Okay, you have a pretty unique setup here :wink:

If you want a rely able mount option, and if you always has this drive connected i would recommend fstab instead this GUI stuff… anyways, i hope you can archive your goal from here.

If not… let me know.

Have you already :mag: for your problem in the forum ? (Wisdom lies in asking → listening → reading :wink: )

What do you want to do ?
Start Manjaro from a external disc ?

14

Don’t mount a removable device in fstab.

Use systemd mount unit and automount unit to avoid a missing device in fstab.

15

Why not?

If the mount options contain nofail, then the system won’t stall if the drive is not present during boot.

16

Can you post /etc/fstab ?

17

That is correct - remember though - the nofail option only allows a continued boot - it does not make the device available when attached - unless you manually execute a sudo mount -a.

18

You can have both with ...,x-systemd.automount,nofail,...
