If you have mounted a hard drive on OpenWrt but cannot access it, you can follow these steps to resolve the issue:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make sure the hard drive is properly connected and recognized.<\/li>\n
  2. Run the command dmesg | grep -i scsi to check if the hard drive is recognized.<\/li>\n
  3. Execute the command ls \/dev\/sd* to check for the existence of hard drive device files.<\/li>\n
  4. Format the hard drive and create a file system.<\/li>\n
  5. Run the command ‘fdisk -l’ to check the disk partition situation.<\/li>\n
  6. Execute the command mkfs.ext4 \/dev\/sdXN (replace X with the disk device number, and N with the partition number) to format the partition as an ext4 file system.<\/li>\n
  7. Mount hard drive:<\/li>\n
  8. Run the command “mkdir \/mnt\/hdd” to create a mount point (which can be customized).<\/li>\n
  9. Run the command “mount \/dev\/sdXN \/mnt\/hdd” to mount the hard drive partition to the specified mount point.<\/li>\n
  10. Automatically mount:<\/li>\n
  11. Edit the file \/etc\/config\/fstab and add the following:\n

    config mount
    \n option target \/mnt\/hdd
    \n option device \/dev\/sdXN
    \n option fstype ext4
    \n option options rw,sync
    \n option enabled 1<\/p>\n

    (Replace X with the device number of the hard drive, and N with the partition number)<\/li>\n

  12. Run the command “\/etc\/init.d\/fstab enable” to enable auto-mounting.<\/li>\n
  13. Reboot OpenWrt and verify if the hard drive can be accessed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If the issue persists, you may need to check the health status of the hard drive or try reconnecting the hard drive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
