Linux media files not always available after reboot
#1
so im playing a video file then do a reboot and now none of my media files are available, the images/covers are there but when i click on any of them xbmc can no longer find the file.

jump to buntu and i can see the drives and access them, back to xbmc and the drives and files cant be seen.

reboot my htpc again and xbmc can see the drives and can access the files again.

Are the drives being auto mounted at boot? You need to add a entry to /etc/fstab to have this done.

Check the current mounts using "mount" in a terminal. If you don't see the correct device, use "sudo nano /etc/fstab" to add an entry for it.
