Thread: /home SD card not mounting at startup


i have eeepc 900a , have sd card (sdb1) mounted /home. during boot on ac power, e2fsck exits status 8 failing read superblock. during boot on battery power ubuntu starts until gnome loads , error /home directory can't found. in both cases can flip terminal , sudo mount -a mount /dev/sdb1 /home. boot continues , well. if booting on ac power , ubuntu runs full disk check automatically during boot, sdb1 seems mount properly, check passes, , loads should.

i've read forum posts ad nauseam no avail. running easy peasy 1 & 2 (intrepid & jaunty) no problems. problem starting after after installing jaunty unr. believe may problem sd card slot not initiallizing enough or fast enough allow sd card read during boot.

apologize first post being novel, i've yet find issue addressed elsewhere. i've included fstab kicks. btw, in trying fix issue removed uuids fstab.

looking!

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# use 'vol_id --uuid' print universally unique identifier a
# device; may used uuid= more robust way name devices
# works if disks added , removed. see fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# internal ssd /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1 / ext2 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# sdhc card /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1 /home ext3 noatime,nodev,nosuid 0 2
#file systems placed in ram
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=0755 0 0

i did google search of "e2fsck status 8" , came across http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-481742.html

in sum, try changing /etc/fstab line
code:
# sdhc card /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb1    /home           ext3    noatime,nodev,nosuid    0 0
