Comment on How to auto remount external HDD after power loss to laptop server?
tal@lemmy.today 4 weeks ago Nah, that’s good. What I mean is, if it’s in /etc/fstab, it should be possible to manually mount it without a reboot. Have you tried manually remounting it after power comes back?

Nope, I haven’t tried that. But I will give it a try when the next power outage occurs. I actually didn’t know I could manually remount until today. I’m still pretty new to selfhosting.
Gotcha. Yeah, the stuff in fstab is just a convenience; it’s equivalent to running a bunch of mount commands at boot. You might be able to just run “mount” again without the ‘-o remount” option. I was just listing that in case you were seeing some kind of errors in trying to manually mount it.
