On Wiki ffp there is a usb_all.sh script to mount disk at startup.
http://dns323.kood.org/howto:ffp      see start/usbdisk.sh (Mount external USB disk):  section
http://dns323.kood.org/forum/t1963-fonz … rives.html

in usb_all_start() at that script variables are used.

  driveslinux=`fdisk -l | grep -i 'Linux' | grep -v 'sda' | grep -v 'sdb' | awk -F '/| ' '{print $3}'`

  # mount NTFS Drives
  for drive in $drivesntfs; do
    mkdir -p "/mnt/HD_a2/$drive"
    echo "Mounting /dev/$drive on /mnt/HD_a2/$drive"
    mount -t ntfs -o umask=0222 /dev/$drive /mnt/HD_a2/$drive > /mnt/HD_a2/$drive/mount-error.txt 2>&1
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
      echo "Failed"
      cat /mnt/HD_a2/$drive/mount-error.txt
    fi
  done

if above is run from the prompt everything gets mounted but on boot nothing is mounted.

I added following to get information in the logg

    fdisk -l | grep -i 'Linux' | grep -v 'sda' | grep -v 'sdb'
   
    echo "mount Linux Drives"
    echo $driveslinux

now the ffp.log contains following information

/dev/sdf1               1       60801   488384001  83 Linux
/dev/sdc1               1      121601   976760001  83 Linux
/dev/sde1               1       60801   488384001  83 Linux
/dev/sdf1               1       60801   488384001  83 Linux
mount Linux Drives

Last line is blank.

running it from prompt.

/dev/sdf1               1       60801   488384001  83 Linux
/dev/sdc1               1      121601   976760001  83 Linux
/dev/sde1               1       60801   488384001  83 Linux
/dev/sdf1               1       60801   488384001  83 Linux
mount Linux Drives
sdc1 sde1 sdf1

I'm now replacing the drivesntfs variable with its value.
  for drive in $drivesntfs; do
is changed to
for drive in `fdisk -l | grep -i 'Linux' | grep -v 'sda' | grep -v 'sdb' | awk -F '/| ' '{print $3}'`; do

and everything is mounted on boot.

curious as I am my question are
why isn't the drivesntfs variable functioning at boot when it's working from prompt?
