Ubuntu Boot Issue

[Bluevoodoo]

When i boot into ubuntu i get this message saying an error occurred while mounting /mnt/ssd and i have to click skip mounting. After i do that and boot into the os i then try to access my ssd and it says that it's unable to mount. Can someone please help me I'd really like to this up and running properly.

First things first, make sure your drive hasn't bit the dust. Boot into the bios and see if you can see the ssd.

 

Then, I would start with your fstab (/etc/fstab) this file tells the OS what drives to mount where, by UUID.

 

your drives UUID could have changed, verify this with "sudo blkid"

if you need to edit the fstab, take a look at the help docs here. But if all you are doing is changing a UUID, it wont be too big of a deal

 

If your drives UUID has not changed, and your fstab is correct, then I would verify that /mnt/ssd exists, then check your permissions on that folder

Hi,

 

You can try checking up /etc/fstab file with sudo gedit /etc/fstab.

Here's some more help about it:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab .

I recommend you to take a back up of this file before changing.
