Rhythmbox does not (has never) imported *all* of my music

[nc_jed]

djbushido/logos34, It's the drive/mounting. I copied over a branch of the directory tree to the internal HD, chmod'd it and everything was fine. Looks like a drive/mounting issue.

Thanks for the help anyway,

Blake

From this it looks like you cd'd into the file. In fact, I'm quite confident you did.
Try this:

sudo chmod o=rx /media/IOMEGA_HDD/music -R

And output any error codes generated.
Also, try remounting the drive yourself, then doing this.

djbushido,
Did as directed, no difference.

blake@desktop:~$ sudo chmod o=rx /media/IOMEGA_HDD/music -R

After running (quickly), I ls -lR the structure and get the below (a subset, of course)

I also unmounted the drive, turned it off for a few minutes then turned it back on (effectively remounting it). Reran the chmod from ~ and same effect.

what i meant was to do "sudo umount /media/IOMEGA_HDD" and then "sudo mount /dev/sdx" where x is the drive letter. Try that.

FWIW, I always rely on HAL to automount it. Below is as you request (mount pount not found in /etc/fstab):

blake@desktop:~$ sudo umount /media/IOMEGA_HDD
[sudo] password for blake:
blake@desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdc
mount: can't find /dev/sdc in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

blake@desktop:~$ cat /etc/fstab

Ok, now I'm lost since there is no mountpoint defined in fstab. perhaps that is a bell/whistle associated with USB drives/HAL.

Ooops. You forgot the partition number. It should read "sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/disk"
Also, the /media/disk is just any mountpoint, really any folder.
