Debian :: Unable To Mount Internal Drive And Others
Sep 24, 2015
I can't mount it, and also since apparently debian doesn't care about the nasty systemd but I had to deal with that but I digress.
I cannot mount my itnernal drive, and even memory cards are listed as "permission denied" even though I am part of the disks group. I know that before systemd I could just edit a udisks config file but I cannot find out where it'd even be.
I've included my /etc/fstab.
Code: Select all# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
[Code] ...
I am part of the disks group, and am 90% sure that I edited the udisks file that says something about mount internal disk to allow active from allow_admin
The only udev rules that i've changed was the one to change the mount point for external drives to /media/drive_label instead of /media/$username/drive_label
Basically I'm trying to automount the partition after clicking on it in the file manager.
I have 2 internal drives. One is for the OS and one is for the Data. I tried to get the Data drive to mount automatically at login using some crap I found on a linux blog. Safe to say it didn't work and now I can't mount it with the OS on the OS Drive.
It mounts from a live CD and all the data is perfectly safe. When I try to mount the drive I get this error message: "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/data" What have I done wrong and how can I make it mount again? Preferably this time at login.
I've just loaded Vector Linux on my computer (it's a Pentium 4/2ghz my father-in-law gave us). It seems to be working well, however, I have a second hard drive in addition to the boot drive. This drive is from a previous computer that ran Mandriva Linux, so I would imagive VL can read it. I can't seem to locate it anywhere using the gui. However, I checked the system settings window under "storage" and the drive shows up. It doesn't show up in the "devices" area of the system tray. I don't think I can navigate to the drive using the "file system" window either..Is there something I can do to -- one, find the drive; and two, add the drive to the devices window so I can mount it when I need to (or, preferably, keep it permantly mounted -- like on a mac or windows computer)?By the way, the drive was the boot drive for the Mandriva computer, but the jumper is currently set to "slave."
So when I booted my system up today my second internal hard drive which is formatted to ext4 failed to auto-mount for me(I have an fstab entry for it). When I I tried to manually mount it from terminal it failed and suggested I run dmesg | tail and here is the output from said command:

I have an internal hard drive which is NTFS that I have some of my windows stuff on.Ubuntu seems to mount it only after I choose to open it from the places menu.I would love it if it mounted automatically on startup but I can't work out how to do this
This is, incidentally, the same message that I see while booting. The error message goes away if I comment out the line in fstab starting with /dev/sdc.
I have two systems, one running 11.2 x64, and the other running 11.3 x64. on both systems, I've lost the ability to mount internal partitions "on-the-fly" from the Dolphin panel.Trying to mount via Dolphin has always given me this error on the 11.3 system, but only recently started happening in the 11.2 system after a recent "zypper dup" (using the "Stable" KDE 4.4 repo).If others are experiencing this same issue, please let me know so I can file a bug report. Please note that the error only occurs for internal partitions, and external drives work fine.
I have been trying to share folders from my main PC which is running Ubuntu 10.04. I have been able to figure out Samba enough to get my a couple of folders shared, but I have been unable to share any folders which are on my external harddrive. After entering the path in my smb.conf file they appear on the network but I am unable to navigate to them. When trying to navigate to them through the network folder on the pc they are actually connected to I get an "Unable to mount location: Failed to mount windows share" dialog box. On the windows pc I am trying to share with I get, "Windows cannot acces \Josh-Desktop ame of folder"
My smb.conf file looks like this:
That folders I cannot access are Music and Videos.
when i powered on my computer i went to mount my second internal hard drive. Normally it just opens right up no problem but today for some reason it says that im "Not Authorized" to do it. same goes for flash drives. My comp is running ubuntu 10.04 . What should i do???
I've been thinking of buying a new internal hard drive, mostly because my 40 GB drive is beginning to get a little crowded. I haven't bought a hard drive in many years, so I don't know what brands are currently reliable. Years ago, I heard that the larger drives were much less reliable, but in recent years I have heard that is no longer true, so that it is cost effective to get a larger drive.
How do I configure my Debian installation to mount external USB drives to mount points based on the volume names of the drives? For instance, if I have a thumb drive with the volume name of "SWORDFISH," how do I have Linux mount it at /media/SWORDFISH? I'm aware that this can be setup in FSTAB, but that requires that I know the UUID of the device beforehand and that I take the time to set each external device up in FSTAB first. That does nothing for me when I have a thumb drive that has never been plugged into my computer before.
This seems to be setup by default in Ubuntu/Kubuntu, but is not working for me with a fresh installation of Debian Squeeze and KDE4. I've spent the past 2 hours Googling for a solution and have turned up nothing. UPDATE: My results are inconsistent. Sometimes Debian mounts devices to mount points based on the volume names, and other times it gives them generic mount points (e.g. /media/usb1).
I have a problem in my ubuntu 10.01 that it can't load a drive/volume in ubuntu. When I tried, it said: "Unable to mount location Error mounting: mount: /dev/sda1: can't read superblock". And when I boot my pc with 'Windows', it said : "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" under a blue screen. What can I do to solve this problem?
Ubuntu 10.04 - it lives on 1TB drive. Then I have another 1TB drive that has 2 partitions. One of the partitions has XP and other is empty awaiting a WIN7 install. Then I also have a 2TB back up drive. All said - on the odd boot I'm unable to mount the other drives.
i have installed both windows 7 and fedora on my laptop but i installed fedora on only one drive i didnt create a swap so now whenever i try to open my drive the followng message appears UNABLE TO MOUNT DRIVE if i format the drive will i lost my installation files and would have to install again
I updated through yum tonight had to reboot but it hangs on reboot.Now I can't use my computer.here point me in the right direction to fix this.I have no clue.I really need to mount this encrypted drive but it won't let me this way I can get my files and move them to another os that is working.I put in the password but it will not mount for some reason.My first venture in fedora land does not seem to be going well at all right nowor a page I have work to do and I really don't have time to be reading hundreds of pages to find the right answer.
Whenever I insert a USB drive (or plug in my Motorola Droid to copy files to it), a window pops up that says 'Unable to Mount File System'. Not Authorized. The drive shows up under the Places menu, but if I click on it I just keep getting the same error.
i jsut installed opensuse kde and xfce and i cannot mount dvd/cd 's. i am using opensuse 11.3 32 bit. i added my user to the cdrom drive group but still no luck. How to get the cd to mount by jsut clicking on the dolphin icon?
Having issues while mounting my 1TB passport USB drive. When running this command....
Code: sudo mount /dev/sdc /mnt/WD/
I got this error: mount: you must specify the filesystem type I even tried adding the filesystem, which was or is ext4
Code: sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdc /mnt/WD/ Getting a different error instead: Code: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
I should mention that this was working just a few hours ago. There was a power glitch and my Ubuntu headless server lost power. I turned it on and since then, I am getting this error. I would prefer not to format via GUI .... 1st because I have data there , 2nd, because I don't want to rely on a graphical interface but being able to fix this via terminal.
I am working on an old PC and I am trying to mount a floppy disk. The disk is formatted as Fat12 with Quote: mkdosfs -F 12 /dev/fd0 Weather it auto mounts or I mount it with sudo mount Quote: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0
it says it works fine, but if I add files to it,remove the disk and put it in another machine nothing is on the disk. The files I add to the disk just get added to /media/floppy0 as a normal directory. If I try to umount /dev/fd0 it says the device is not mounted, even directly after I mount it.
I was copying files from one Western Digital hard drive to another newer one, when I accidentally pulled out the usb cable on the copying drive (WD Elements 2TB).Now I can't mount the drive again. I don't really know what this means. I rebooted the computer, but to no avail.I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on Gnome 2.30.2 Kernel Linux 2.6 32-32 generic.
I am very new to Linux ubuntu got it because friend said it way better than windows. The problem I am having is with my thumb drives. I cannot get them to work. It says I am unable to mount. The only way to get one to work is put one in wait tell it says it is unable to mount then put the second one in. At that point I am able to look at the second drive.
I'm unable to mount a network drive on my ubuntu 10.04. Here is how my fstab looks like:
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier # for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name # devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 # / was on /dev/sda1 during installation UUID=d9508c3b-fa02-4118-bafb-7cc0863af984 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 [Code]....
The above fstab configuration works for me flawlessly on my fedora. I dunno what's the issue here. I don't see any error in the dmesg either.
I am not well versed in using Ubuntu. I was using Win XP Pro SP3 on my old machine. I decided to make the move to Ubuntu. No problem since all files on the primary drive of the old machine were just OS related. I kept all of the important stuff (music, documents, reg codes, etc.) The computer had no problem importing the songs on the external drive to the music library. I am playing songs and loving it. Now the problem... when I am starting with ubuntu I don't find the drive and I can't mount it.
I get a box stating: You are not privileged to mount this volume DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
I've found some older threads with the same problem and read a few bug reports also. Nobody has a solution that has worked for me.How can I get Ubuntu 10.10 to be able to use something as basic as a usb drive?
I plugged in a seagate expansion drive 1Tb into my linux server for backup purposes but it is unable to mount it. I can see the expansion drive in My computer but when I click on it, it says unable to mount, device already mounted or busy. Windows can read the hard disk with no problems. It is ntfs formatted. I installed ntfs kernel and fuse. Ntfs is displayed when I run cat /proc/filesystems. However it just can't mount the expansion drive.
