what on earth is BBCode? How can I write in this format?

The bar above the input box contains a very useful line of BBCode tags in [] which makes it easy to click and format a post.

See what can be done?

Or more relevant to your post

Thank you for a great OS.

If you are using lvm please include:

sudo pvs
sudo vgs
sudo lvs

Please add what partitions you want to mount as well as when (ie. at boot) and where you want them mounted.

Hopefully that will give us everything we need to know to help you find the problem.

1) An old Gygabyte Board with 4 Gig RAM and an Intel core2duo 2GHz  ... Devuan installs perfectly, I even have Compiz running.

2) An Ausus Sabertooth 990fx r2.0 with 8 Gig RAM and an AMD 8320 processor ... Devuan installs perfectly, I even have Compiz running.

3) is a clone of computer 2 with one exception, My OS's are on an SSD drive.

All computers have multple internal HDDs.

When installed (many times now0 on the SSD, I cannot mount any of the other partitions at all.

I log in as root and can mount the partitions, I log out and log back in to my user account and all of the partitions remain mounted.

I have unmount them with my user password and remount them with my user password.

Problem only exsists with the SSD Installation and fortunately I have a clone of that machine so I don't believe it is an

otherwise hardware incompatability.    Any Suggestions?
