Received new odroid HC1 today and having issues mounting a seagate 2tb hdd.

armbian odroidxu4/Debian_buster_next

 

Seagate HDD 2TB

sudo fdisk /dev/sda

created new primary partition

 

sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1

 

mounted  drive ( this works and the drive is mounted )

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/hdd

 

but if i try to mount as user it fails

pi@HC1:~$ sudo mount -t uid=pi,gid=pi /dev/sda1 /mnt/hdd
mount: /mnt/hdd: unknown filesystem type.

 

sudo mount -o uid=pi,gid=pi /dev/sda1 /mnt/hdd

mount: /mnt/hdd: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

 

sudo mount -t ext4 -o gid=pi,uid=pi /dev/sda1 /mnt/hdd

mount: /mnt/hdd: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

 

output from fdisk -l

If I put the drive on usb/adapter with win7 laptop and format partition with ntfs all works perfectly

Why all the issues when formated ext4 and is there a way to solve?

You are confusing mount options. gid & uid are only for network or local file systems that dont support unix like permissions. They allow you to overlay a fake permissions base over the top of a filesystem that doesnt have the attributes to support unix like permissions

 

You shouldnt be using uig or gid to mount an ext4 filesystem, by design it will not work. Mount it without any -o gid or uid options and once mounted then you can use chown or chmod to set the native permissions that you want
