I did receive a few errors during upgrade process, one of which was relating to GRUB.

I currently have 2 internal disks, my primary has OS on it, 80GB, secondary is 500gb, both are ect4 filesystem.

My external is 500 firewire 400 and NTFS.

Contents of my /etc/fstab/



# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

Not seeing any mount points for my internal and external drives

sudo fdisk -l reveals the following info:

Any ideas? I don't have dual boot, this is a full Linux ext4 system (with the exception of external HDD)

Thanks for any help

Not quite what you are expecting or looking for. Drives that you do not specifically configure mount points for during installation, or or not added to /etc/fstab yourself, are typically auto mounted on the fly, either when you access them if internal or present during boot, or when you connect external drives if plugged in later.

You have given no indication whether anything shows up for them in the mount command.

Do they show up in the Places menu, or whatever file navigator is in whichever window manager you are running?

Thanks for the reply... no the drives don't show up under "Places"...

I do recall during the upgrade process when Grub2 step was executed, it had listed all available mount points and prompted for selection to include in Grub2 config... I basically selected all of them (as recommended on the screen)... that's when an error occurred.

I assume a log of the upgrade process is written somewhere, but I have no clue where. I will search and see, and post any relevant messages..
