In /mnt, /etc/hosts everything is set as should be. In other posts I'm reading other problems with nfs as well. Is there a bug?

I have two mount points that used to work. I have them defined as cifs shares in fstab, and they map to a Windows machine, which I am able to ping from my Fedora machine, but for some reason I get a mount error 2, and the destination is not accessible. The man page doesn't really give any troubleshooting steps. Since I am mounting by IP address (which as I said has worked before), nothing has changed, although the IP address did change, which I updated in the fstab file to the new IP address (and since I have reserved this new IP address so it can't change again!)
I ran a test and shared a folder from another one of my computers, and added a line in fstab to auto-mount that, and I get a "permission denied" error 13, which is different than the error 2 I get on the other 2 shares. What should I be looking for as far as actual connectivity between the machines? I have verified that the windows machine is on and I can access the same shares from another computer.
Update: Added the host and IP address to my hosts file, and replaced the IP address with the name, and still get the same error. Also, the share name has a space in it, so I replace that with a "�40" space character (which worked in the past). I tried replacing that with an actual space, and putting quotes around the URL, but then I get a "bad URL" error.

I'm running XBMC media center which is built on Ubuntu and I'm trying to mount a network share, but I can't seem to automate it. If I manually run:
Code:
mount -t cifs -o file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 //192.168.1.20/disk7/xbmc_thumbs/Thumbnails /home/kevin/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails
The mount is created and everything works fine. But obviously the mount eill be lost on the next boot. A few months back, when I was running a previous version of XBMC and first instructed on how to do this, I was told to put that command in /etc/init.d/rc.local so the mount would automatically be created at boot. I did and it worked. The other day I upgraded to a new XBMC build (which is built on the newer Lucid Ubuntu) and while the same command creates the mount, putting it in /etc/init.d/rc.local does not create it on boot. Someone suggested the fstab was the better place to create the mount. So I inserted the following in /etc/fstab:
Code:
//192.168.1.20/disk7/XBMC_thumbs/Thumbnails /home/kevin/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails cifs file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
That doesn't work either. What am I doing wrong and how can I get this mount auto-created on boot?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing: Debian Lenny. I want to mount 2 NTFS partitions in my /etc/fstab file, so that I needn't manually mount them when I want to use them. One of the partitions is the primary partition on the same hard disk as my Debian /, /home, and /swap partitions. The other is a 2nd internal hard disk.
a) Should I use ntfs-3g instead of ntfs as the /etc/fstab filesystem? I want to be able to read and write to the partitions as a user and not just as root.
b) I have read on the forum that "mounting NTFS partitions through fstab is not a great idea" - I thought that any dangers of doing so were ancient history. Why would it not be a good idea?
c) Which options should I use?
d) If I use 'user' instead of 'users' so that one specific user (me) can use the partitions, how do I specify which user name? (The man page is annoyingly unclear about this).
I've accidentaly corrupted my fstab and cut the ends of lines. There are now disk uid, mount point, filesystem for root and swap, but the mount parameters are missing.The system boots as readonly. What are default fstab mount parameters in Debian for ext4 root and swap?

I run a headless Ubuntu 8.04 server, which acts as a web, email and file server. I am sticking with 8.04 as it is a LTS release and will upgrade to the next LTS when it is released.
I have two external USB drives, that I need to mount at boot. I have been using /etc/fstab up until now, with the following entries:
Code:
However, as I gather from doing searches is quite common, occasionally I get an error during boot (causing the system to drop to a recovery shell) because the USB drives take time to wake up and the system hasn't found them by the time it reads /etc/fstab.
From doing searches, it seems there is nothing you can do to fstab to fix this, so you need to mount them using an rc.local script instead, using:
Code:
The problem is, as I have two USB drives, their /dev/sdxx location changes between boots. I thus want to use UUID codes as I do in fstab, however I haven't found anything about this.
Does anyone know how I can use the mount command and UUID to mount a drive in rc.local and what options I have to use the mount the drive with the same options that I am using in my fstab entry? Obvisouly, I can't refer back to fstab using the mount command, because then I will still get the boot error issue if they are listed in fstab. And there is no space internally for the USB drives as there is already two internal drives.
I am trying to setup fstab to automatically mount my NTFS partitions. I have used various Mount managers to create the entries in fstab. The fstab seems fine, but when mounting at boot or even via Nautilus I get the error message that I do not have permission to mount the disk.
1) Can this permission be set in the fstab file? If so what is the syntax of the fstab entry?
2) If not, is there a tool i.e. GUI to set the mount permissions?
setup consist of three machines: 2 servers (A and B)(ubuntu) and my local laptop Server A is a company controlled server which holds project data Server B is our office local server, which we use for development purposes. The problem occurs when i ssh from my local laptop to server B. After loggin in, i execute a script to transfer data from A to B. This script mounts server A using gvfs-mount. It fails to mount completely and gives me the following error
Code:
Error mounting location: volume doesn't implement mount
However if i log onto server B, using the servers keyboard and monitor (using a gnome session) i can execute the line. To verify that it's something related to the ssh login, i tried the following: (My local laptop is also running ubuntu) from laptop open a terminal. See the gvfs mount work as expected. open another terminal and ssh localhost tried to execute gvfs-mount from the local ssh session and i get the above mentioned error. After googling a bit, i found that it might related to dbus (which i know _nothing_ about) and i tried
Code:
dbus-launch gvfs-mount and then tried to gvfs-mount server A, but it fails again.
I have a hard time mounting two external drives on my Suse 11.3. When I use the device notifier gadget both drives get mounted in /media/<drive name>, the vfat drive is read-only though. However, I would like to mount both drives under /<drive name> in separate directories and rw. I looked at the devices in /dev/ and entered the device name to fstab, set the mount point, file system (vfat, and ntfs-3g) and set 'rw,noauto,exec,user,sync 0 0'.
This way I could mount my vfat drive read-only under /<drive name>, but not the ntfs one. After a reboot i noticed that the external drives get different IDs in /dev. E.g. what I had in my fstab under /dev/sdc1 got /dev/sdf1, and /dev/sdc was unknown. I am doing something wrong here, what worked in 11.0 does not seem to work here.

I'm really tired of having to umount under root, then mount again as a user for my external hard disk. When I'm in firefox, I like to save pages alot onto my external but I constantly have to remount because my user has no write permissions for the drive. What can I do for my device in fstab so that it mounts automatically under my user and not root?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a router that supports NAS; that is, you can plug a USB drive directly into the router, and it becomes a Windows share. I can manually mount the NAS share and use it properly. But, I would like to have it automatically mount on startup. The main reason for this is to assign it a proper mount point so that I can access it from the command line, since I'm having trouble doing that after I mount it manually.
To mount it manually, I go to Places > Connect to Server, select the "Windows Share" service type, and enter "//192.168.1.1/USB_Storage" as the server name. The server name is supposed to be "//readyshare/USB_Storage," but that does not work, so I used the IP address.
I would like to mount this drive at /mnt/readyshare. So, I followed (I thought) the instruction in this document. I created the directory /mnt/readyshare I assigned myself a samba password with smbpsswd I created a group "readyshare" with the GID 1010 I created a .smbcredentials file in my home directory I modified my /etc/fstab file.The .smbcredentials file reads:
Code:
username=<my username>
password=<the password I created with smbpsswd
The line I added to my /etc/fstab is:
Code:
//192.168.1.1/USB_Storage /mnt/readyshare smbfs iocharset=utf8,credentials=/home/<my username>/.smbcredentials,dir_mode=0775,gid=1010 0 0
But, no dice. The share does not mount.What am I doing wrong?
I can access the files I need by using the telnet command, but I need to have access to the files in my local file system. Is it possible to mount a shared drive over telnet in the fstab file?
View 8 Replies View RelatedOn my Suse 11.1 computer, I'm only able to run 'mount' as root, but this screws up the permissions somehow, in that my external drives are now read only when I am normal user. I can plug my external drives to my mac osx laptop via usb or firewire, and I can read,write, and execute. As su, I can mount the drives using usb on my suse computer, but only as read only.
Optimally, I want to edit the fstab file to auto mount these external drives, and then have samba run to make the drives available (i.e. rw) on laptop.
NOTE:
1. I created the file systems on a laptop (mac osx) which has different user name than my suse 11.1 computer.
2. I tried to use chown to manually force user:group to be Mike:users instead of root:root, but the external drives still are 'read only.' Trying different options in column 4 fstab file kept giving same trouble, but I can now get user:group = 99: 99 (not sure what that means).
Can I mount ftp server in fstab? I have a ftp server and I want to mount it in fstab to /mnt/myftp. Is that possible?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI used the usual 'mkfs.xfs -l size=128m,lazy-count=1 /dev/sdX' at creation. After that, I would like to use custom mount options like: This goes instead of the "defaults" part in /etc/fstab

I receive the following error at boot: INVALID log iosize 4 [not 12-30] << No one used iosize 4... what does it mean? it is connected to the options..but which one? (At the minute I'm usig it with: noatime,nobarrier).
I am writing this software that creates virtual block device nodes almost like loop does. I need to allow non-superusers to mount and umount filesystems from these devices. I don't know the names of the block device nodes beforehand so i can't use fstab entries to add "user" or "owner" flags there.
Currently i solve this by providing a small suid helper tool that verifies that this is indeed "my" block device the user is trying to mount and then just call /sbin/mount or /sbin/umount to do the job. This is definitely better than setting a suid bit for the whole program but not really perfect.
I have a problem with one of my partitions, that used to be automounted trough fstab, before my upgrade to Lucid.
The partitions is used for storing all things related to virtualization. It's purpose is not relevant to the error, I think.
The affected part of the fstab file looks as follows:
Code:
# backuppartition on sdb
UUID=b623c9a2-8d4a-4399-be07-b8b1c74d23fd /backup ext4 defaults 1 3
# Virtualization Partition
[Code].....
P.S. I tried editing the fstab for the virtual parition, to
UUID=a56a9445-d375-45b4-abb5-d3512da0a3e6 /home/***/virtual ext4 defaults,auto 1 3
Installed ubuntu 10.4 on a formatted hard drive IDE. desktop has two other drives , one SATA drive and one SCSI drive. SCSI drive has windows.
Both windows and ubuntu load fine through GRUB2 etc
I had installed WUBI before on the SATA drive and then i uninstalled it.
problem is that when i log in to Ubuntu i see on fdisk
But i cannot access the SATA drive /dev/sda i tried mounting the drive but i get an error saying this is mounted as /dev/sdb5
How do i mount the SATA drive to get access to the drive ? i messed around with this drive when i was using WUBI. i.e. tried to mount it to recover grub but never got it working. Now somehow it seems that this old mounted drive is messing with my current Ubuntu install.
How to recover my fstab is shown below:
Changed the connect sequence in BIOS and mounted the volume using sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
After having solved my raid5 creation problems, I'm running into a new one: the RAID is just impossible to mount through fstab. I get a wonderful "The disk drive for /dev/md0 is not ready yet or not present.
Continue to wait or press S to skip mounting or M for mount recovery."
Once the system has booted, I can perfectly run a mount /dev/md0 /media/raid and mount it manually.
I've already tried mdadm.conf with UUIDs, with device names, tried several options in fstab, xfs and ext4 filesystems, nothing to do, it won't mount.

I've just started playing around with a Sheevaplug running a very light version of Ubuntu. I'm planning to run it with an SD card to store all my server data and a USB stick to regularly back up some of it.My problem is that the 2 partitions on my SD card mount fine at boot, but my USB stick's single partition does not. Could it be that the mounts specified in fstab are done before my USB device has finished getting alive? Mounting the USB stick manually works perfectly well.

which makes me think the USB stick has missed the fstab train the 2 SD card partitions are on. And changing the order of the entries in fstab does not make any difference either.
I'm not planning to reboot my Sheevaplug every 5 minutes, but I like things to be nice and clean.
I can't remember if things with mounting vista/ntfs partitions has changed, but I cannot seem to get my partition mounted as a read-write partition.
I tried this in fstab:
And it made it read-only..
So i tried this:
And it wouldn't mount it.

On a production server, I want an NFS share to mount automatically. What is the best practice to use?
[Code]...
My understanding is that it is always best practice to use IP addresses in the fstab because the server will fail to mount the share upon booting if DNS is unavailable. I've also been told that if one MUST use names in the fstab, there should be a hosts file entry for it so that the server doesn't depend on DNS on boot.
I'm trying to install Debian on Dell XPS L501, and there are lots of problems...
1- Resolution is 800x600! I guess, I need to add that there is no xorg.conf file, and I couldn't create it by running `Xorg -configure`. It said the number of screens didn't match number of detected devices or something like that! I'd be really happy if this gets solved!
2- Ctrl+Alt+F1/2/3/4/... doesn't work! Sometimes Alt+Directional keys works. but most of the time it doesn't!
3- I can't get the loud speakers to work, and I couldn't compile Alsa from source... I'll try again, but does anyone know if there is a specific package I need to install to get them to work? (Realtek ID 665)
4- Keys are not working right... Function keys don't work... But the worse thing, is that if let's say Fn+F2 is supposed to disable wireless, F2 does!
I have been trying to work out how to set up Fedora 15 to automatically mount an NFS share at boot time. I can mount the share interactively using 'mount -t nfs server:/usr/local /usr/local'. When I put the entry in /etc/fstab, it stops the machine booting. It tries to give me a shell ('Enter root password for shell or press Control-D to exit') or something close to that. However, I cannot enter the maintenance mode, it hangs. Same thing with pressing control-D, it hangs and doesn't get any further.
I rescued the system by booting off a CD, mounting root, and removing the nfs entry from fstab. After that it booted fine. The entry I had in the fstab is: nfsserver:usr/local /usr/localnfsro,hard,bg,intr,comment=systemd.automount0 0
I put the 'comment=systemd.automount' entry in because of some related searches I did in forums.
I am getting this error when trying to mount my client on the directory I exported in Yast2 NFS Server
