Fedora :: 14 ,Vfat Occasionally Mounts As Read Only?
Feb 8, 2011
I am running Fedora 14 with kernel 2.6.35.74 x86_64 and I am having an issue with a Vfat partition that is shared with Windows 7 on a dual boot setup. this partition contains my mozilla profiles and it occasionally mounts as read only in Fedora. I wont be able to write to it and root doesnt seem to be able to write to it when this happens. I checked this by trying to redirect an output of ifconfig. My fstab entry looks like this.
Code:
UUID=5830-75A8 /home/joe/share_storage vfat rw,umask=0000,uid=500,gid=joe 0 0
and ls -l
Code:
drwxrwxrwx. 8 joe joe 4096 Dec 31 1969
These two (fstab and ls -l) always look the same whether the partition behaves as read only or not.

I moved some win98 drives into my 10.04 server, and would like to add them to my fstab file.Do vfat partitions have uuid's?If yes, how do I get that number?If no, I can use /dev/sdc1, and /dev/sdd1, can I get an idea what the fstab line will look like?Do I need to create the mount points (say, /WindowsCdrive) before the fstab will mount the partition?

Debian 8.2 .... Desktop is lxde BTW. It auto-mounts the drive, and sometimes it's writeable for a while, but then it all goes read-only out of the blue. su doesn't work. I tried installing autofs and it doesn't mount at all.
/var/log/messages:
Nov 20 11:05:37 debian kernel: [589471.166033] scsi31 : usb-storage 1-3:1.0

[Code] ....
syslog looks much the same.
I'm not an lxde fan. The file manager always was crashy. But I'm on an Acer Aspire, and too many desktop managers just can't deal with the screen ratio.

Trying to go through some old hard drives I'd saved from a Mac we tossed years ago. Using a Sabrent USB adapter (USB-DSC9) I connected it to the Debian box and it mounts as /media. Here's the weird thing: although I can read all the random stuff, the directory with all my actual documents shows up as "you do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents". When I try to fix this with chmod, it tells me that the drive is read-only. Grr.
How do I mount the drive so that it's not read-only?

Since I've upgraded to Lucid RC1, when I insert my SD Card it mounts as read-only. The write-protected switched isn't on and my card isn't corrupt. I've tried chmod and chown to no avail.Does anyone know a work around so that I'm able to write to my SD Card?

I am trying ti set up a NFS server using the guide on [URL] However, the NFS mounts on the client side as a read-only file system, so I cannot modify nothing. Here is my /etc/export file on the server side:
Code:
/home/acrocephalus/ 192.168.1.35 (rw,async,no_root_squash)
and this is my /etc/fstab file relevant line on the client side
Code:
192.168.1.33:/home/acrocephalus/ /home/acrocephalus/AcrocephalusServer/ nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr
Then, I mount the system using the command
Code:
sudo mount /home/acrocephalus/AcrocephalusServer/
.
how to mount the NFS with full read-write permissions?

I am trying to add/delete files from my HTC Evo through ubuntu via enabling file sharing on the device. Ubuntu detects the drive, and mounts it up so that I can browse/read files off the device. However, I am not able to do any writing to the device because it is mounted as "read-only". The only wierd thing is that it worked last week, and I have not changed any settings on my system. Where should I start? Is the auto-mount for USB drives located in "/etc/fstab"? because here is the contents of that file, and I dont see anything for usb mounts:
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# 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

I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 and Linux Mint 9 with an ext4 (sda3) data partition to be shared between both. My issue is when I go to that partition and mount it within Nautilus it mounts read only. I've searched around but I have not found the solution. I don't have a problem mounting it using fstab and mounting at boot. But, I know I have to be doing something wrong for it not to work correctly through Nautilus.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 25G 3.2G 21G 14% /media/7e66f3a0-e35d-40b0-8427-4abfd3b53d8a
/dev/sda2 25G 9.8G 14G 42% /
/dev/sda3 56G 32G 21G 61% /media/data
I partitioned the drive like this. Ubuntu sda1 primary partition ext4 25gb, Mint sda2 primary partition ext4 25gb and Data primary partition 56gb. I then installed Ubuntu 10.04 first, then Mint. Both Ubuntu and Mint mount that partition as read only.

I just got a new WD Studio External USB 2.0/FW800 hard disk drive, it is formatted to HFS+ with Journaling (hfsplus) and I use it for both an iMAC and a PC/Linux. The problem is that on my PC (Linux - Ubuntu 9.10) there is always some kind of read-only error whenever I try to edit, create, delete anything on it. I tried it on my iMAC and I'm able to read and write on it with no problem.
The mount command on Linux gives me: /dev/sdc3 on /media/My Passport type hfsplus (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit) Clearly indicating that it ("My Passport" on /dev/sdc3) is mounted as "rw" (read and write, not read-only). I tried connecting it via Firewire 800 and USB 2.0 and both give me the same results. I also tried fixing it in my iMAC using Disk Utility but it reports on problem and I clearly safely "Ejected" it before unplugging it from my iMAC.

I have multiple ubuntu machines and I connect to one through an NFS share. I have done this for a few years without issue. However, since re-installing ubuntu and upgrading to 10.4 I have a problem with my system hanging when the remote shares are lost.
Basically, I can power down the machine downstairs, and my main machine then has a fit. I can not open any folders in ubuntu, nor can I shut down. If I try and shut down the system hangs, last time it hung for 8 hours before I had to kill the power.
These are the lines in my fstab
I don't know what I've done wrong, or how I can prevent this from hanging. I have googled the heck out of this as well and can't seem to find an answer either.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04, with the Enlightenment WM, with nautilus for my file manager and I have installed the halevt package to handle the mounting of my external media. My issue now is that when I mount the media as a normal user it is being mounted as read only - any ideas how I can have halevt mount the media so I can write to it as my normal user in addition to reading from it?

I upgraded to FC15 in early june, come June 15 Thunderbird suddenly ceases to send or receive any email. It pops up with the message "You may have exceeded you maximum connections" and I've tried changing the cache connection count to 1 instead of the default 5 and every OTHER post about that error suggests to no avail. Funny thing, my primary desktop is still on FC13, same thunderbird version, arch and account setup (with SSL enabled) and works flawlessly. Even with -safe-mode enabled it doesn't work. My lightning calendar also doesn't sync since then.
I have found that if I turn SSL off IMAP works again, SSL SMTP still fails. If I turn SMTP SSL off it sends mail. The calendar is an https (SSL) link. Obviously the issue is SSL and Thunderbird in FC15. There are no errors/messages in the console, maillog or the in-built error console. I will NOT use mail without SSL as I may occasionally use unencrypted WiFi.

After upgrading from Fedora 12 ot Fedora 13 I now get this message when mounting a FAT32 partition in /etc/fstab: mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat' Does not Fedora recognized FAT32 partitions anymore ? Am I missing a package which adds 'vfat' filesystem support ? This worked without problems in Fedora 12 and the upgrade to Fedora 13 from a Fedora 13 installation DVD ran without problems or errors.

Does anyone know if there's a way to create an ext4 image on top of a vfat volume? I know how to create a disk image file and mount it on the loopback device, but a vfat volume allows a max file size of 4 GB so is there a way to make a spanning disk image?For example you'd have disk1.img through disk3.img where each one is 4 GB, but when mounted via loopback it would appear as one complete 12 GB ext4 volume. Is this possible?

I can't seem to mount my local VFAT partition with username ownership; it is consistently mounted as daemon. I've tried to CHOWN and CHGRP the mount point of /media/SHARED (its location), but that doesn't work. I should include the reason in case you have other suggestions that are alternative to changing ownership on the mounted VFAT drive:
In my old Fedora 9, I ran Eudora under Wine. The program lived on my VFAT partition. I could hence run Eudora under both Windows and Fedora, which was really nice - even though I hardly boot into Windows anymore. While I did notice the username and group name were the same as they are under Fedora 14 fstab mounting - daemon - it still worked without a hitch. To note, the partition was also automounted in Fedora 9 in fstab.I just upgraded to Fedora 14. When I automount the drive through fstab, Eudora will not launch. Yet when I manually mounted the drive (and I noticed that the username and group are my local username, not daemon), Eudora launches fine. So while my solution, mounting the drive manually when Fedora 14 starts, does in fact work, it is a bit of a pain. Luckily I don't reboot too often!
In any case, I wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions. Maybe it's just a mounting syntax issue; but as for mounting syntax in fstab, I used the same line as my F9 fstab.The line I used was: /dev/sda3 /media/SHARED vfat umask=0000,dmask=0000,uid=0002,gid=users,users 0 0

When installing Fedora 10 or 11 Alpha, I get the following message when attempting to install the entire root filesystem (including /boot) to a vfat partition:"Error with Partitioning.The following critical errors exist with your requested partitioning scheme. These errors must be corrected prior to continuing with your install of Fedora.
Bootable partitions cannot be on an vfat filesystem.
Bootable partitions cannot be on an vfat filesystem."

Under both Windows and Fedora 11, my USB flash drive was mounted using the volume label of "RBR Astro". Under Fedora 12, it now gets mounted as "RBR ASTRO". I like my old case. It's a small nuisance, but it also ended up breaking all my links to files/directories that I store on flash. How can I get the flash to mount while preserving case?

I have performed NFS installation on debian(as server) and fedora(as client). I made tests for 2 directories. The first one(from a debian home/somedir directory worked perfectly) but the second one not. This second directory is a hard disk partionned on fat32(vfat in my /etc/fstab file).
I have no error with both command :
Code:
exportfs
in debian and
Code:
mount -a

I partitioned my drive to dual boot with XP, and I also added in a fat32 partition so both Windows and Linux can read/write to there to share files. I now have a problem with permissions (I know that fat32/vfat does not support permissions.) I can as my normal user read/write to this partition, but I want to set-up a CodeBlocks project on there and this is where I run into my permissions error.I can create it and the .cbp file is there ect. but I can not save any work, it will complain ('could not write', or sometimes with 'maybe this drive is write protected'.) I have something like
UUID=1234-1A23 /repo vfat defaults,umask=000 0 0
in my /etc/fstab

I have upgraded three machines to Fedora 13.
On all of them any attempt to mount an nfs drive fails with:
Code:
This happens immediately - within a few tenths of a second at most. It happens whether I use mount -a(mounts are listed in the fstab file) or a full mount command. It happens on both 32-bit and 64-bit installs.
Nothing appears in the messages log file on either the server or the client machine.
It was working in Fedora 12.
Iptables and ip6tables are both disabled. nfsd is running.
Hosts.allow and hosts.deny both exist on the client, but are empty. They contain nothing but comment lines.
I can ping the server and run ssh shells to it. I can open Web pages in Firefox.
The server is CentOS 5.4.

I am trying to get NFS mounts working properly using autofs, but I'm only getting partially results. I have an auto.master set up for indirect mounts and a list of map files for each entry. Forgot to mention that when I mount the directory using /etc/fstab or setup a direct mount in /etc/auto.master I can see files in the mounted directory...

I need to mount tmpfs partitions to /etc & /var and unpack archieves of this folders there. This task is complete working on Gentoo with monolite kernel & handmade initramfs script. But on fedora this method is like hacking. And not pretty for later upgrades, etc... I think, may be it is need to create script in /etc/init.d/ with high run priority. But this method takes many errors on boot. It is need to mount two tmpfs partitions to /etc/ & /var & unpack archieves. All this processes are to be executet after switching init from initramfs to realinit. But before first system processes try to start. How to complete this task with fedora way?

just about to install Fedora 10 on my MSI WIND laptop and read abit about file system on Linux and come across alot of recommendations on how many logical mounts or partition to create..so far i have created /boot of 100MB.i'm unsure of what sizes i will give to my [root] / and /home and /swap
i am thinking of assigning 1GB to /swap which leaves me with 40GB left for / and /home.i'm going to install alot of softwares and probably try out wine as well.i want a separate /home directory incase i change distro then i'll keep it... where does the programs go to under?

On our network, we authenticate our users via LDAP and use autofs to mount their home directories. This works fine in Fedora 8. However, in Fedora 10, when the user logs in, it also mounts the home folders of the users that previously logged onto the system as well. This is what I see when I login as "user1" on Fedora 10
