Gparted is showing a green icon. Smart-Data says "drive is healthy". And chkdsk yesterday reported no errors too.
I don't think the drive or the filesystem is faulty. I think the problem lies purely in the booting process. When I mount the drive in a gnome terminal, there are no problems at all - it uses the specified fstab mountpoint and works correctly.
Could it be that the drive gets accessed by something before fstab can mount it?
from the boot.log:
Code:
Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command.
mountall: mount /media/hdd1 [897] terminated with status 16
mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /media/hdd1
I pressed M at the errorscreen (manual recovery) and ran "fuser -vm /dev/sdb1" and "mount" and recorded the output:
