Further information,
I mounted the drive manually as root and it mounted without any complain.
I guess the drive is mounting successfully after it suddenly disappers
means somthing is causing it to unmount automatically. What could
cause that?
Any suggestions please?
Power management? Automounter?
If the drive is mounted on /data do you see it with df ?
If not, can you do ls -l /data (wait a moment) and see it respond?
