Title: one external hard drive making another one disconnect it seems ....

EDIT >> Solution

just added a 1TB external drive in a caddie (Seagate) to my setup which has already got 500GB external drive in a caddie (Seagate also) and the new one makes the older one disconnect within a few minutes not sure what why and how this is possible. I have tested that multiple times ie if i remove the new one the old one STAYS connected throughout session

these are entered thus in the /etc/fstab

Code:

Code Select

#the old 500 HDD
UUID="3896450861F69058"   /media/shan/500  ntfs  nofail,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000   0   0   


#the new 1TB HDD
UUID="5E255CB15803AB33"   /media/shan/new1Tb  vfat  nofail,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000   0   0

Any idea why it might do doing this? Thanx in advance for learned info here

PS my DE here is LXDE if that is relevant
