Fedora :: Can't Mount Ext4 Logical Vol Under New Kernel?
Dec 5, 2009
I have 250Gb, 500Gb and 1Tb drives concatenated together as one volume group (span) with a logical volume (spanvol). Under kernel 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64 it mounts totally fine. However, under 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.x86_64, I get this:-
[root@undertaker ~]# mount -t ext4 /dev/mapper/span-spanvol /home
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/span-spanvol,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error

I'm trying to convert big ext4 partition to logical. I was able to do that with Arconis Disk Director Home 11 with swap and ext3 partition, but it doesn't recognize ext4.
Unfortunately I can't copy 2TB data to another HD Now I have:
Pri /boot ext3
Log / ext3
Log swap swap
Pri /media/X ext4 <- 2TB

i have a fedora 11 server which can't access the ext4 partitions on lvm logical volumes on a raid array during boot-up. the problem manifested itself after a failed preupgrade to fedora 12; however, i think the attempt at upgrading to fc12 might not have anything to do with the problem, since i last rebooted the server over 250 days ago (sometime soon after the last fedora 11 kernel update). prior to the last reboot, i had successfully rebooted many times (usually after kernel updates) without any problems. i'm pretty sure the fc12 upgrade attempt didn't touch any of the existing files, since it hung on the dependency checking of the fc12 packages. when i try to reboot into my existing fedora 11 installation, though, i get the following screen: (click for full size) a description of the server filesystem (partitions may be different sizes now due to the growing of logical volumes):
Code:
- 250GB system drive
250MB/dev/sdh1/bootext3
lvm partition rest of driveVolGroup_System
10240VolGroup_System-LogVol_root/ext4
[code]....
except he's talking about fake raid and dmraid, whereas my raid is linux software raid using mdadm. this machine is a headless server which acts as my home file, mail, and web server. it also runs mythtv with four hd tuners. i connect remotely to the server using nx or vnc to run applications directly on the server. i also run an xp professional desktop in a qemu virtual machine on the server for times when i need to use windows. so needless to say, it's a major inconvenience to have the machine down.

When I do that I be able to install Ubuntu Server next to CentOS. And I will add partition /home(ext4) for both and "/"(ext4) for Ubuntu.

I have 2 hdds, with encrypted / and /home. Besides there are four other (encrypted ext4) partitions I use rarely. In Fedora 11 at boottime I gave the luks passphrase for / and home and the system booted as intended.
Whenever I needed those extra encrypted partitions I mounted them in Nautilus. Now, in Fedora 12 at boottime dracut tries to open all the encrypted partitions, / and /home are mounted fine, but opening all the other partitions gave the following messages in messages.log:
Quote:
dracut: luksOpen /dev/sdb6 luks-02a0e706-a26f-4019-a2a0-88a0366a994d
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 124
kernel: device-mapper: ioctl: unable to remove open device temporary-cryptsetup-304
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 124
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 124
[code]....
...and these messages are repeated with the other partiitions, and the boot time takes very, very long. How can I tell dracut to ignore those extra encrypted partitions at boottime?

I'm trying to set up my Fedora 15 installation to automatically mount (with all privileges needed for read/write access w/o a password prompt) an ext4 partition on the same HDD. Below is the output of sudo fdisk -l.
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders, total 312581808 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
[code]....
Partition table entries are not in disk order I'm trying to automount /dev/sda8, I believe. I'll check that when I've rebooted to by Ubuntu partition, 'cause that's where I know how to do it. I tried to use pysdm, since that's what I used to do the same thing in Ubuntu, but it wasn't found by the Fedora package manager.

I was wondering how to check the current mount options of my ext4 filesystems in Fedora 12? The only thing I can see in fstab is "defaults" but how can I know what is behind those defaults.mount command only shows "/dev/sda6 on / type ext4 (rw) but nothing else.I'd like to know a few more things like the data mode used like "ordered" or "journal".

I have been trying to install windows for 15 days and I was finally able to do it by removing in "disk utility" the sign saying that the fedora partition is bootable... but I did it when the partition was active... It showed me a message error but i thought that it told me it wasn't abvle to do it... and now that windows is installed I cannot any more access the partition either in rescue mode and on a live cd ... what could I do to access the partition either to save all the files or to (it woiuld be the best) reinstall the grub ?

I just installed F13 x86_64 on a system that used to be running Windows 7.
The boot drive is a SATA drive attached to the motherboard which is working fine.
However, my data drive is an NTFS partition filling a 3.6TB SATA raid.
It's GPT--Gparted sees 3 unknown partitions, and gdisk shows:
Code:
How do I mount this in Fedora 13? I had intended to shrink the NTFS partition so that I can create an ext4 partition to move the data to. Will this be possible?
I've got a LOT of valuable data on this drive, and nothing else big enough to store it.

I inherited a 3ware 9550SX running a version of gentoo with a2.6.28.something kernel. I started over with CentOS 5.6 x86_64.tw_cli informs me that the 9-disk RAID 5 is healthy.The previous admin used lvm (?) to carve up the RAID into a zilliontiny pieces and one big piece. My main interest is the big piece.Some of the small pieces refused to mount until I installed theCentOS plus kernel (they are reiserfs).The remainder seem to be ext3; however, they are not mounted at boot("refusing activation"). lvs tells me they are not active. If I try tomake one active, for example:root> lvchange -ay vg01/usrI get:Refusing activation of partial LV usr. Use --partial to override.If I use --partial, I get:Partial mode. Incomplete logical volumes will be processed.and then I can then mount the partition, but not everything seems tobe there.
Some of the directory entries look like this:?--------- ? ? ? ? ? logfilesIs it possible that the versions of the kernel and lvm that wereon the gentoo system are causing grief for an older kernel (andpossibly older lvm) on CentOS 5.6 and that I might have greaterfortunes with CentOS 6.x ?Or am I missing something fundamental? This is my first experiencewith lvm, so it's more than a little probable.

I've just started playing with virtualization and I started my first VM. I would like to know if it's possible for the host machine to mount the partitions of the VM when it's closed. Right now the VM uses /dev/vg0/vm1 and has 3 partitions on it. I tried mount /dev/vg0/vm1 ~/vm1 at first before I remembered that I'd need a way to mount a specific partition inside the logical volume, not the volume itself!

I have 4 partitions. One is Ext4 for Karmic, one is NTFS for WinXP, and the other two are Ext4 where I keep all my stuff.When I boot into Karmic and open Nautilus, none of the last three are auto mounted. When I click on one of them, instead of a window popping out asking me for a sudo password, I get a message as shown below.f I try to mount via sudo in terminal it works, but the files for me are then all read-only. Again, if I open Nautilus as root, all works fine.What I want is the following:- for all 3 partitions to automount on startup;- for all 3 partitions to be owned by me and not by root.I tried editing /etc/fstab, but to no avail. Neither did running "chown" help.
/etc/fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

Still a novice in Ubuntu (Karmic Koala). I'm trying to mount an ext4 20GB partition of my hard drive so that i can use it to store data, i want it to appear on my desktop as well as on places, as far as i know this is achieved by mounting the partition in /media. At my first attempt i used the following commands. (i named the partition ondskapt)
Code:
sudo mkdir /ondskapt
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
in this document i added the following at the end:
/dev/sda4 /ondskapt ext4 defauts 0 0

Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.

I am doing some benchmarking on EXT4 performance on Compact Flash media. I have created an ext4 fs with block size of 65536. however I cannot mount it on ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386. (it is already mounting ext4 fs with 4096 bytes of block sizes) According to my readings on ext4 it should allow such big block sized fs. I want to hear your comments.

On this LAN we have: Windows 7 desktop, 192.168.1.2 Ubuntu 10.04 desktop with ext4 filesystem, 192.168.1.5
On the Windows 7 system, how do you mount a Ubuntu "/home/myHomeDirectory" (ext4 filesystem) as "drive U:" ?
So that U: => 192.168.1.5:/home/myHomeDirectory One possibility is a commercial product called ExpanDrive.

I wanted to make a clone of my drive, so I tried the ole sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdg1 trick, but first I formatted the drive to the Ext4 format. I wish I would have understood that format a little more before I decided to format it that way. Now I can't access my drive at all. I read almost everything on the net about manually mounting it, but almost everything was in Fat, NTFS, or Ext3/2 format. I even read the Ubuntu documentation. I don't know if it's because my drive is in Ext4 format, or if I'm just not doing something right.
As you can see in the following picture, it recognizes the drive, yet I am unable to mount it. I am trying to access the 160 GB drive. I even tried to see if Windows would recognize it. No go. Today while lurking in the Ubuntu Forums I found a way to make a live .iso of my system (which I think is awesome). So now I want to reformat my drive and use it as storage once again. I think I will restore it to NTFS. I thought that the Ext4 format would work better in Linux (which I was wrong), but now I need Windows to recognize it as well, and it needs to be able to store files bigger than 4 GB (unless you have a suggestion on what to format it as).
