TCL2.x on VirtualBox3.2.6: adding a new virtual hard drive and mount it on boot?

[zab]

Hi guys,

I've successfully installed TCL 2.x on Virtualbox (under Linux Ubuntu).
Everything is working very fine.

To add more space to my TCL guest box, I added a new "Virtual hard drive" of 4GB with the help of "Virtual Media Manager".
After rebooting my TCL, I created a new big primary partition (on /dev/sdb1), and format it with "mkfs.ext3". Everything's ok.
Then, I called "rebuildfstab" (I'm not sure if it's right to call this command) which changed the content "/etc/fstab" to reflect
the new partition. Then, a final reboot.

What's strange now is that "mount | grep sdb1" shows nothing. The new partition isn't mounted on boot.
Trying to change mount options in "/etc/fstab" is useless as TCL overwrite it after each reboot.

How can I fix that please?

partitions aren't mounted automatically.  You could try mounting by sticking a line int /opt/bootlocal.sh, or by putting something in .X.d, and I believe there is also a nofstab boot code to stop tc writing it's own fstab. (remember to add your fstab to your backup if you use that.)

Thanks for the hint "althalus".
Using "/opt/bootlocal.sh" to mount my new virtual disk fix my problem (I also added etc/fstab to my backup).

One more question:

Should I put "umount /mnt/sdb1" or "sudo umount /mnt/sdb1" in "/opt/shutdown.sh"?
Is this shutdown script called as "root" or as "tc" user?

No, all disks are unmounted automatically on shutdown. It runs as an user.

1000 thanks guys!

Hello

I failed to successfully install TCL on VBox after following the install guide

On reboot I only get to a grub command line

Thoughts?
