@voljega said in recalbox RPi3 + usb HDD see 3 from 5 partitions:

even the number of partitions you're claiming your harddrive has change from line to line.

As I said i have 5 partitions on my HDD and thous usb0 - usb7 are in media directory

If u connect to recalbox via FTP and go to "media" there are usb0, usb1, usb2, usb3, usb4, usb5, usb6 and usb7 where recalbox mount drivers/partitions i think its pretty clear that thous are not my partition because i written i have 5.... thous are only directory where they can be...

@voljega said in recalbox RPi3 + usb HDD see 3 from 5 partitions:

And given the low price of hardrive and/or usb key

I have a few 1 and 2 TB HDD but my goal is to not plug all of them because i don"t need as meany..
I could put FTP on a different RPi but i'm looking for all-in-one solution.

Question is simple: Why on boot recalbox see random number of partitions and not all of them?

I tried rootdelay=100 in /boot/cmdline.txt but still couldn't force it to see all 5.

Regards:)

@voljega dude come down:) I thought that i made my self clear that hdd was formatted on a PC and i sometimes connect it to PC because its easier to menage photos. Second q is no i didn't configure it through EmulationStation. But i don't see third question there

I will google "configure through EmulationStation" but i reboot recalbox and it sims that its randomly sees from 1 to 3 partitions every reboot. Aldo it always see game partition:)

Regards:)

@VOLJEGA thx for reply.

As I said i have 5 partitions on my HDD and thous usb0 - usb7 are in media directory regardless if u connect usb HDD or not. It seems to me that it is capable to mount only 7 disc/partitions.
I wont to haw ftp so i need few partitions.

I have an update
When i look at http://recalbox/monitoring there is list of mounted disc with directories. It shine some light:) I found my games:

device /dev/sdb6
mount directory /var/recalboxfs and second in /recalbox/share

and my 700GB Pictures partition at
device /dev/sdb1
mount directory /media/usb1

but now it don't see thous 3 partitions that had seen before:/ and usb2 - usb7 are empty.

Is there a way that maybe recalbox boot to fast and doesn't have time to find all partitions?
(i know - stupid idea:))

I have anader HDD and i fink that i will make there 8 partition and cheek if recalbox will see all of them:)

HI all

I have recalbox 4.1.0 on Rpi 3 + 2TB usb HDD (NTFS formatted) with 5 partitions.
I wont to be able to use Total Commander with SFTP plugin to connect with recalbox and have access to my drive. Playing 2 weeks now and have some problems, tried to google it out but no luck (probably asking wrong questions :))

My problem is:

1. After connecting to recalbox and navigating to media i see usb0... to usb7 but there are only 4 with content:
   usb0 - recalbox, look like SD card
   usb1 - HDD partition 1
   usb2 - HDD partition 2
   usb3 - HDD partition 3
   usb4-7 are empty so i'm missing 2 HDD partitions.

Is it because i have 5 partitions in GPT ? It's strange because two partition i'm missing is one with pictures and the second on with recalbox roms that i can play whit no issues. So where can i find that two missing partitions?

I could combine 2 partitions in one if its necessary but will it see 4?

2. Is there a way to make a shortcut to each partition in main folder? I don't mind but my wife panic when need to go to media and see usb0... so I would like to make shortcuts like Pictures on main folder for her

Thanks for help:)
