CentOS 5 :: Data DVD Will Not Automount
Jan 21, 2011
The DVD was created with Nero Express on a Windows XP SP3 system and reads perfectly well there.On CentOS 5.3 (at least) it will not automaount. I can mount and dismount the DVD manually. I can access the DVD with K3b.CDs mount just fine and come up as an Icon on the Gnome desktop. This is what I would like to happen for the DVD as well. The CD mounts at /media, which puzzles me. I read through a great deal on the web, but have found nothing that addresses the specfic probem. I know the Gnome Volume Manager and HAL are gone. I tried changing the autofs settings by adding the following line to the /etc/auto.misc file
dvd-fstype=auto,nosuid,nodev :/dev/dvdrw
to join the line for the CD, and then rebooting, but without success.

Running 11.3, KDE 4.4.Have searched all over hell on the Internet, no solution found.When I insert a data CD or data DVD created with K3B sometime in the past, the Device Notifier pops up with NO description of the device plugged in. After it goes away, I can hover over it and it will say the name of the device which is the volume label of the backup CD or DVD.However, when I go to Konqueror, there is nothing showing under /media.If I run Dolphin and view the Places menu, the CD shows up there, I can double click on it and open it.
In Device Notifier Settings, under Removable Devices, I have Enable Automatic Mounting of Removable Media checked, as well as Only Automatically Mount Removable Media That Has Been Manually Mounted Before, and Automatically Mount Removable Media When Attached.The CD inserted does appear in the Attached Devices list in the Removable Devices.If I put a CD in and check Konqueror, it does not show under /Media. If I then load Dolphin, it shows in the Places menu and under /Media. THEN if I go back to Konqueror, without doing anything else, it will THEN show up in /Media.If I then close Dolphin and eject the CD/DVD, it disappears from /Media as expected. If I then reinsert the DVD into the drive, without opening Dolphin, it will re-appear in Konqueror under /Media as it should.Why isn't this working properly in Konqueror? It's a massive annoyance.There is zero documentation for Device Notifier available and especially for setting up Device Settings.At one point, I thought that "Only Automatically Mount Removable Media That Has Been Manually Mounted Before" might be the problem, so I unchecked it. But it does appear to be the problem.
I don't know why KDE 4.4 can't do what KDE 3.5 did - just automatically mount CDs/DVDs and USB devices without a lot of rigmarole and undocumented settings and with a simple selection of what you want to do with the mounted device (which I usually just ignore, select nothing, and go look at the inserted device with Konqueror). This was simple and worked. Now it's a nightmare and I see from browsing the forums that a lot of people have had problems with automounting.

My Lucid LTS Ubuntu Studio 64 (amd) won't boot anymore; / and /home each are software raid 0 partitions.
I have a Multimedia partition (also ext 4) which I attempted to chmod with a GUI program (I forget what its called now) to enable all users read/write access. Looks like I inadvertantly fstabed that partition to be mounted at boot-time (normally my password was required in order to mount it).
I tried to logging out and back into my OS to see if the partition was now writable but it wasen't; instead a filesystem error was noted. I realised then that my partition was IMPROPERLY labelled and I was in a tired state and didn't remember how to rename it & rebooted to make sure all was ok. But it was not:
An error occured when mounting /media/Ubuntu unknown filesystem type "Multimedia"
mountall: mount /media/Ubuntu [1334] terminated with status 32
mountall: filesystem could not be mounted /media/Ubuntu
Boot: recovering journal
From my generic Ubuntu system on a non raid partition, I finally removed the space in the 'offending' partition: Ubuntu Multimedia to UbuntuMultimedia. And I changed the permissions for it. But if I try to boot Ubuntu Studio via recovery; booting in low res is unusable, and it gets stuck if I SKIP mounting. So I am left with manual boot or drop to a shell. I will have to use an editor like vi or nano and the command prompt. I know that I likely only have to comment out a line in /etc/fstab but I am only familiar with nautilus or gedit for this type of operation. And since this OS is on a raid partition its not 'seen' on the live CD..I would need someone to offer me clear steps to follow with the non gui editors otherwise I'm in trouble... I just wanted to use that partition for video editing and now I am locked out of my system!

I have build the fuse and ntfs-3g module. Via console I can mount ntfs volumes via mount -t ntfs-3g.But under gnome I get only the messagage that the system don't support ntfs. What must I change, that the gnome volume manger (I think) use ntfs-3g to mount the volumes.

I have an IMAC (I7) that is running CENTOS 5.4 on and need to be able to mount a fireire disk automatically when plugged in. We can do this manually running: fdisk -l then choosing the correct disk and mounting it
mount /dev/scd1 mnt The problem we have is that this machine needs to go in a client office on the other side of the world and we need it to be idiot proof. I need to be able to autodetect and mount the disk like you would if it was running OSX. Obviously the hardware works, just the automount or autodetect does not work.
We've already commented out the blacklist in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-firewire Is there some other setting I need to automount the disk. Alternatively I'll have to write an application to perform the fdisk and mount as root, which I don't particularly want to do.

I'm running CentOS-plus V5.5.CDs automount fine, but DVDs don't. I can, however, mount DVDs manually.I have scoured the web without seeing a solution. Its also clear that the software or process used by the OS to automount a DVD, has changed in the last few CentOS versions. So now I would like to ask:,In V5.5, what is the current process or software used by the OS for automatically mounting media such as a CD or DVD?What configuration files are involved that allow a CD to be mounted, and what entry(ies) would be needed to automount a DVD?

I have been running a server for 3-4 years now, and my shares have been mounting just fine. Well, the network admin looked at a backup and seen that the last date backed up was june. I got to looking around and seen that the share is not mounting. I can mount it with sudo mount -a, which tells me my syntax is correct. I get an error about IPv4 socket not opened and it is aborting the operation when I run dmesg | tail, since I can use the above command to mount later, it sounds to me like it is trying to mount before the network connection is ready.
I have done some looking over some init scripts and found that in the /etc/rc.d/init.r/netfs script it has a line that states that it is checking to see if the network is up before it starts to mount the filesystems and the such. This is set to no, my question is, can I change this option to yes and get my desired results, waiting for the network to be up before it mounts the filesystems.

this is my fstab::
Code:
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/backup /backup ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
[code]....
Now while installing, I had 2 Hdds. at the time of partitioning, i used both as separate Hdd and made a /backup. I used that for my backups. That was RH9. Now I want to install Centos 5. and i wish to keep the /backup as it was. (as my cron scripts and others are written in this way)I wish that it will be mounted at the time of boot. And moreover, I can add a new hdd (using the manuals) but I need to keep the data.
Also the second question:: I have implemented a WiFi hotspot in a hotel with a Cisco WLC and several Cisco APs. Now I wish to restrict and log on access for both wifi and wired LAN using user names. Raduis is okey... with a mysql password database... I found a thing named hotex hotspot billing. But that's expensive. Also FCS's module is expensive too. I do not need billing, just access control. Any ideas on this?? It must be a linux based kind of baremetal package...

I created an ext3 partition to be able to share data or files between CentOS 5.3 and F11 (and possibly other distros...) on /dev/sda5. I created the folder under /mnt and edited fstab and it's mounting ok and it lets me write to the drive.
But it's only seeing the files I wrote to it in F11, not the files or folders I created in CentOS; not even the text files created in gedit. I read some messages on here, and made myself the owner of the folder (data2share) and rebooted and it's still not seeing the files.
Might it be because F11 is using ext4 and CentOS is using ext3 ?? To test that theory, I started my external usb drive that's also formatted ext3 and it's seeing those files just fine. So I'm stumped.
Here's the output from /sbin/fdisk -
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x8f97908e

I've got a CentOS 5.4 box and the following disks connected:
# parted /dev/sda print
Model: ATA WDC WD1600BEKT-0 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 160GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32.3kB 107MB 107MB primary ext3 boot
2 107MB 160GB 160GB primary lvm
# parted /dev/sdb print
Model: ATA WDC WD1200BEVT-0 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 120GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32.3kB 107MB 107MB primary ext3 boot
2 107MB 120GB 120GB primary ext3 lvm
the OS, data and programs are on /dev/sda.
I'd like to copy the full directories and files to the newly added /dev/sdb wich has, as you can see, less space. Also note that /dev/sda has only about 3.6Gigs uses, so it will no doubt easily go into /dev/sdb. How can I do the full copy, and yet make /dev/sdb bootable just like /dev/sda (just as if it was cloned by Ghost)? I've checked dd, but AFAIK, it needs that both source and target devices be the same in size.

I need to mount a bsd/386 partition on my hard drive to recover data. I am running the latest CentOS 5.3, downloaded and installed in the last week.My searches have turned up a mount command, that does not work.
[root@new-host-2 ~]# mount -t ufs -o fstype=444bsd /dev/sda3 /mnt/bsd
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ufs'
[root@new-host-2 ~]# mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/bsd
[code]...
So, is there a patch to get mount -t ufs working?is there a patch to get bsd/386 filesystem type? have not build a kernel before, so I would like to avoid that, but I will attempt it if I have no other options.

If yes, then let me know the step by step guide so that i can go with Centos ASAP.

Problem : centos 5.3 hangs while remotely copying data onto this server.
I have A centos 5.3 x86 Version installed on Xeon Quad core , running on 8 GB DDR2 RAM, RAID 1 confgured on SATA drives. this was old installation copy and It has many more things running on it.Therfore, I can't just reinstall it.
I have setup SAMBA PDC + ldap on it. I encounter that system hangs when I copy data into this server from LAN computers.
My troubleshooting steps :
1. I have checked for network issue , My network works fine when I transfer data between other LAN compuers.
2. Even I have tried confguring seprate LAN....
3. I thought their might be some problem with my SAMBA configuration, therefore I did data transfer from sftp .

I have a fully up-to-dateCentOS 5.6. As of some very recent package update (later than May 12), sound-juicer is unable to retrieve track data for any disc; it just reports "Unknown Title" and "Unknown Artist".
Unfortunately I do not know how to tell which particular package it was, or even how to get a list of recently-updated packages.
Tracks are still extracted fine, it's just the musicbrainz connection which is doa.
I'd be happy to try an alternative program with musicbrainz capability, but couldn't find any. The installed k3b doesn't have any ripping options in the tools menu, where I gather it's supposed to be.

Ive seen this a hundred times while searching google but I can't seem to get any of the fixes suggested to work for me.
Here are the specs code...
I have other servers on the same network with the same software/hardware that never loses its mount to the windows share, and nightly backups are run through those mounts. So why does the mount on this machine fail when we do a push? The only conclusion that I can come to is there is some sort of time out on the windows server that causes this. The other servers that have this same type mount use their share every night, where as the share on this server gets used once or twice a week. Once the mount hangs I can not unmount it, I have to reboot the server. Once the server is rebooted the push works fine. But then the next week when a push is tried it hangs. What else can I check?
UPDATE: I've also tried NFS mounts and autofs mounts and they hang as well
I enabled logging by echo 1 > cifsFYI and this is what I see in var/log/message code...
Ive removed the actual file names for security concerns. Any one have ideas as to why this is happening? The only other thing I can think of to try is to swap out the NIC but it's at a remote location so I can't do that right now.

I have a new system using an Intel DG451D main board. I have been trying to get a RAID 1 mirror set working as the main drive in this system and for some reason, my SATA drives - three of them all new have had their SMART data changed to show the drives as failing and in need of replacement. Eventually the drive reports failure to the degree that the BIOS no longer recognises it. When loading the Centos os I was getting differing results because of this issue. I am not sure if this is a hardware issue even - I know that the drives were all very much OK and brand new - no good now! Just putting a feeler out to see if anyone has had a similar issue or to see if anyone knows of any possible known causes for this?
Failing any explanation, can anyone suggest a good desktop style Main Board that supports RAID well for Centos 5.4? I plan to sue this as a small server system so graphics etc are not important here.
