I have been having this problem when playing music using Rhytmbox or Exaile.....The external HDD (sata through USB) automatically unmounts thereby stopping playback of music. I just have not been able to figure out how to stop "auto" unmount.
View 6 RepliesI have a start and stop script registered with chkconfig for a fuse mounted drive. I can /sbin/service scriptname start
and
/sbin/service scriptname stop
with no issues.
The stop script unmounts the drives and then stops the service with a function to wait until the pidof service is gone. My drives are showing up as dirty on reboot, which should mean that my script that functions normally in cli, is running out of time and possible being ignored by service after a certain wait period when shutdown -h now is issued. System is a remote server so I can not view the output during shutdown. How can I increase the wait before /sbin/service issues a [FAILED] if that is the case on shutdown? The startup script runs, however the shutdown script does not...the script does work though with the service scriptname stop command.
I have a hard drive which I put in an enclosure so that I can attach it by USB to my laptop, like a giant flash drive. In other words, its an external Hard Drive now. When I first plug it in it is detected and mounts like you would expect, but after a few minutes it unmounts. It's like the drive spins down and unmounts or something.
So, I want to remount it over my network rather than having to walk over to the computer and unplug the Hard Drive and then plug it back in. I would even be happy if I could just remote desktop onto that machine and remount the device somehow.
Here's the problem:
When the Hard Drive is mounted, and I run the "mount" command in terminal it shows up as:
/dev/sdc1 on /media/"NAME OF HARD DRIVE"
but when it unmounts itself and I run lsusb in terminal it only shows up as:
Bus 002 Device 053: ID 13fd:1840 Initio Corporation
I don't know how to get it to mount based on that name. So, I am asking: given that it shows up with that name, how can I remount the device from the command line...
The ultimate goal being to get it to reappear in my SAMBA shares.
I just formatted my iomega 250 gb external HD to ext3. This is where i store media, such as music. What I am attempting to do is take all the music from my 5th gen 80gb ipod (rockbox firmware), and transfer it back onto my external drive, as all my data was (naturally) erased during the format. However, as soon as I plug in my ipod it mounts as usual... but after about 15-20 seconds my external drive unmounts. When i do a 'sudo mount dev/sdc1' it says sdc1 does not exist. How can i fix this? what is the problem? I have my ipod set on /dev/sdd2 and the external drive at /dev/sdc1, each with their own mount point. They each work perfectly independently. I have tried switching usb ports around and rebooting.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently updated to Kernel 2.6.32.7 available from the: Mainline. The reason I have done this is because it corrects an error that prevents my web-cam from functioning (Microsoft VX-3000). So, with this kernel I have a functioning web-cam *but* I have noticed now that my USB Hard Drive intermittently now unmounts. I am unable to remount the device without rebooting Ubuntu. The drive was mounting dirty but installing NTFSProgs and running NTFSfix was the solution for that. I have disabled power management completely on my machine by editing /etc/default/acpi-support and changing SUSPEND_METHODS to "none" and both ACPI_SLEEP and ACPI_HIBERNATE to false. This seems to have made the USB hard drive take longer before it unmounts but it does still unmount. Also as a GRUB2 boot option I have tried acpi=off but this also disabled my usb keyboard and mouse and my BIOS isn't flexible enough to work around that so I cannot use that option. With these things in mind are there any other avenues I could pursue and things I could try?
Edit: It may not be "unmounting" it just disappears. Also, I could try to whitelist the USB controller in /etc/default/acpi-support if I knew how to find out what it was called but I do not know how to do that.. Yet !
Edit2: I moved the physical plug to another slot where it connects on the computer. If this disconnects again I'll swap out the cable. If it disconnects again.. I'll go buy a huge 1TB internal sATA and call it a day. ~
This is an odd one. I have a C program that calls umount to unmount a volume. A simplified case looks like this:
Code: int main()
{
int rc = umount2("/v0", MNT_FORCE);
if (rc != 0)
{
printf("Unable to unmount volume /v0, err='%s'", strerror(errno));
code....
I also discovered the reverse effect with calling mount() in code. When I make a call like Code: mount(drive, volume, "xfs", MS_NOATIME, NULL); the indicated drive is mounted since I can access the files as expected, but df doesn't show the drive has been mounted.
Why is my C code behaving this way? What do the mount/umount commands do when run from the command line that I'm not doing in my C code?
I set my storage hard disk to auto-mount at start up, using fstab options, but sometimes (when my computer has been on for awhile) the storage hard disk will unmount by itself....any ideas?I have already tried replacing the hard disk multiple times, and I switched from Kubuntu to Opensuse. (partially because of this).This occurance only appears after I have had the hard disk for awhile. (Western Digital Caviar Green series)
I do plan to upgrade to OpenSuse 11.3.
Does anyone know if there's a way to make nano support auto-complete and auto-bracket closing?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed 32bit maverick and wanted to make it login automatically. I tried enabling auto login from Admin > Login but that didnt work and I was still prompted for my password. Then I went to Users & Groups and changed the password option to Do Not ask for password at login now after I reboot, the user list is shown (only 1 user) and it doesnt ask for password after I click on my username.
However, then it gives a few errors (as i vaguely recall):
1. cannot load .ICE directory in my home directory
2. some error 256 about a gconf-sanity-2 file
3. nautilus cannot load my home directory etc
and then it gets stuck without loading anything (blank wallpaper). i ve tried navigating to my home directory using Alt F2, gksudo nautilus and my home dir contents are encrypted by the ecryptfs (there is a readme.txt file and a shortcut). i have tried to decrypt but it doesnt work... i ve also tried to start/stop gdm, and startx but nothing works. if i stop gdm, then the prompt doesnt recognize my password and keeps on rejecting the commands i enter... I think this has something to do with the home dir not being decrypted due to the dont ask for paswd option... how can i disable the dont ask for pwd without the gui (i can access my / by booting through an external usb).
I have noticed that a common issue to several distros is the fact that the networking subsystem doesn't automatically detect the link if an ethernet connection is disconnected and then re-connected to the NIC after boot. If the ethernet cable is connected after the system is up and running, nothing happens - ethtool eth0 shows link detected: no, and you have to restart the network service to let the NIC know that there is in fact a link, and actually connect. I have a Fedora14 (KDE) box with a brand new Asus motherboard with embedded NIC. Everything works great except the auto-detect of a freshly connected ethernet connection if the link is down to begin with.
Am I missing a ethernet link sentinel utility or something, or is this just the way linux works? I have done plenty of research on plenty of posts, and it seems this is a common problem, with no solution other than manually or programatically restarting the network service in a script to detect the link after a disconnect.
I press On-button, Debian boots, logs in and automatically connects to the Wireless network AND! to my local pc via LAN. It runs an ssh server, so I can ssh into debian over internet and communicate with the local pc (send a magic packet).Here are my problems:
1) I don't how to log in automatically. This and this doesn't work.
2) I need a network tool that can manage multiple connections and has a reconnect feature. With the default network manager I cannot even connect to more than one network simultaneously although I have two network devices of course.
And I guess I can run all that in console mode, right?
I would like to exec a script whenever a user mount a device. The device could be an internal device (for example a partition on a second hard disk) or a removable one (for example a usb hard disk). The script must have sudo capabilities even if the user is not included in the admin group. Is it possible?
The specific question:
I would like to add acl option to a device whenever it is mounted.
I tried fstab but it's changing the behaviour of nautilus see:
[URL]... so I would like to create a script with the command
Code:
sudo mount -o remount,acl /media/data
and auto execute it any time data is mounted.
I recently installed a server with Software RAID. I tested by powering it down, unplugging one drive and powering it up. Magically, it worked!I found out later that I have to manually add individual devices like md1 to sda2 md2 to sda4. I got all of them added and rebuilt but my question is: Is there a way to make it so that if I "removed" a drive and put it back, the system will senses the new drive and rebuilds based on some internal table?

On my local network, I use my Linux machine running dhcpd and IP masquerade as a gateway to the internet. As it is, the setup works just fine, and I've enabled dhcpd in all runlevels in the services dialog, but for some reason, it still does not automatically start when I boot the machine. If I select it and click "Start", it operates normally, and if I run "services dhcpd start" from a command line, that works too. My only guess is that it's some problem with my config file... it's the same setup I used with previous versions of Fedora without issues, but maybe things have changed?
The contents of /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf:
