      After I wrote this article I found that option in the Boot Options menu, I set it to wait for network connectivity however for some reason that did not work. however setting a sleep command to the autostart.sh worked well. Using the autostart.sh sleep and mount command worked properly.

      Thank you for your valued input:)

      You can get a set of verified mount options from the docs. Try it - in your /etc/fstab file - and see if work with those options.

      @Efriim Then the problem is the Samba share and not the Pi. Restart Samba after you the USB is mounted and then re-try to copy the file to the share.

      @pyr0cide Just leave the exports on the server

      /volume1/roms 192.168.1.*(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash)

      And make sure you use the proper case when referring to the share name, i.e. not mixing upper-case with lower-case

      mount -t nfs -o vers=3 192.168.1.6:/volume1/roms /home/pi/RetroPie/roms

      @sano

      i had to chown my permissions back but this is now solved. windows powershell format and partition to fat32 on my drives originally as the guide was fat32 then changing to ext4 and it seems that when i was doing the new partitioning it just wasn't taking effect for some reason but this is now solved.

      thank you sano and shadowron

      i've been banging my head on the desk for a week trying to understand linux commands and forcing myself to learn a new OS.

      Changed fstab to:

      proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
      /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults 0 2
      /dev/mmcblk0p2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
      UUID=1918-2A41 /media/usb0 vfat auto,nofail,noatime,users,rw,uid=pi,gid=pi 0 0

      /media/usb0/BIOS /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS none auto,nofail,noatime,users,rw,uid=pi,gid=pi,bind 0 0

      /media/usb0/roms /home/pi/RetroPie/roms none auto,nofail,noatime,users,rw,uid=pi,gid=pi,bind 0 0

      more streamlined and I think 'bind' in the first of the three additional lines was the cause.

      @Rion
      still, my point stands. you should have more justification than just 'use my guide instead' on every thread where someone talks about mounting USBs. i don't see how your method makes any difference to OP.

      I should mention...I did that for about 10 seconds before realizing vfat sucks and committing the drive to ext4. Same principle though.
