Due to a partition issue I had with that primary master drive, I had to repartition/reformat the pm. I didn't touch the secondary, but for some reason when I try to mount the drive that was just discussed Linux will tell me that the drive is already mounted or is busy/consuming resources (even on bootup reading through fstab), but it will not allow me to see what's on the drive. Funny thing is that apparently it will allow me to save stuff to the "mounted" drive. At first when I saw that it scared me because I thought that meant I had deleted the partition or screwed something else up with the drive itself. Then I tried it on a Windows machine and everything worked perfectly there. I tried everything you guys told me to do and the stuff I found on that other tutorial, but I keep getting errors. Have you guys ever dealt with that kind of thing?
