Fedora Installation :: "Missing Mount Point" Error After F10 Update?
Jul 2, 2009
Last night I let the automatic updating of packages ran on my Fedora 10 installation. It has been a few months since I ran the updating and so it took quite long. I did not monitor it closely so I am not sure which packages were updated. After the update was completed, when I restarted my computer it halted during the boot up process at the point when it was trying to mount the root file system. The error message is "mount: missing mount point".
I booted the computer using the F10 DVD and used the rescue mode to look into the /boot directory. The kernel that was booting by default was 2.6.27.25-170.2.72.fc10.x86_64.There were two older F10 kernels in /boot and so I tried booting with them. The boot process went further but I was still not able to boot up F10 successfully. There were many error messages about not being able to touch files in /var/lock/subsys as it is a read-only file system.

I am trying to mount /NFS as nfs mountpoint on two servers ( A & B ) having OS OEL 5. After mounting the nfs filesystem, both of them behave normally for around 10 mins and after that the NFS file handle become stale and the mountpoints dont respond. While executing df -kh, the output hang out and the /var/log/messages show the following message:
May 27 15:48:56 earth mountd[3078]: Cannot export /NFS, possibly unsupported filesystem or fsid= required
May 28 04:04:20 earth kernel: nfs: server nas not responding, still trying
May 28 10:11:51 earth kernel: nfs: server nas not responding, still trying
The fstab entries for /NFS mountpoint on both servers is :
nas:/NFS /NFS nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,tcp,nfsvers=3,timeo=600,rsize=32 768,wsize=32768,acti

/etc/export entries on both server is :

i am trying to install new packages on ubuntu 10.04. the new packages are all on DVD's. I have loaded the DVD's as software repositories
Code:
# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 10.04 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 (20100429)]/ lucid main restricted
# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
[code]....
i do so, then i get an error message from ubuntu saying that it failed to fetch several packages from the disc listed above.
when i check the mount point of the /cdrom/ it has now been changed to media/apt/ so i'm guessing synaptic is looking for media/cdrom/ but cannot find it. how do i get it to stop changing the name of the mount point and why is it doing this? could it have something to do with my modem? as i have noticed that for the first time since i have been using ubuntu (since ver 7.10, 8.04, 9.04) ubuntu 10.04 is listing my modem huawei e220 (usb hsdpa modem) as a disc drive.

I'm installing Ubuntu 11.04 beta and partitioning into 3 parts. One for root, one for home, and one for swap.In the partitioning utility you can go into during installation (at the beginning of installation actually) there is a drop down box for selecting the mount point of the partition. I'm good on the first two but am not sure what to select for swap. I'm searching on the Internet too but am not seeing what I need right off.

I have created a mount point (/media/a500) for my Iconia Tablet and added the following to get it to mount automatically.
First download and install mtpfs......Then do this
Code:
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0502", MODE="0666"
sudo mkdir /media/a500
sudo chown user:user /media/a500
[Code]...
This works just fine for Fedora 14 but on Fedora 15 the mount point disappears on reboot ie there is no /media/a500 folder. a500 appears under devices in Nautilus and mtpfs is ok as I can mount the device via the command line by creating the mount point setting ownership and running
Code: mtpfs /media/a500

I am installing 11.04 on a test PC. My standard drive layout, developed over many years and many distros is as follows:
sda1 /
sda2 /home
sda3 swap
sda4 /data
/ and /home are relatively small. I put most data files on /data to facilitate hot backup of important data to another drive or machine.
/ and /home are periodically cold backed up with g4l. That said...I noticed that the install partitioner in 11.04 only allows me to select from a list of mount points. / home var etc. I can not type in a mount point of my liking as I have done since I started using Ubuntu about 6.4.Is this Canonical's idea of an improvement?Yes I can manually format the /data partition after install and add it to /etc/fstab. Still I would give Canonical three thumbs down on this enhancement.
p.s. The above seems to be a moot point as the installer refuses to install the boot loader. I have filed a bug report. It makes no difference if I partition the disk manually or allow the installer to partition it to its defaults. If it ain't broke, break it.

I have set up an encrypted ext4 partition on a new external USB HDD. When I plug it in, some sequence of a daemons and scripts cheerfully puts up a dialog to ask me for my pass phrase and then creates a mount point and mounts the drive in /media. I'd like to know how to configure this process to change the name of the mount point (right now it's an unwieldy hex string), it's permissions and ownership. I'm sure this is straightforward, but I just don't what the relevant programs and files are.

I have just been gifted with a Linux dedicated server for the next six months, with an option to renew after that time has expired, and I'd like to set it up for FTP/P2P use. I do have some familiarity with Fedora from work, but only as a pre-installed desktop OS. The company providing the server has asked me to choose a OS, so of course I picked the one with which I already have some knowledge. They've also asked me to provide partition and mount point information, and it's here that I'm having some problems. I've spent most of my free time today reading everything I could about partitioning for a server, and I'm still not comfortable making this decision on my own.
The server comes with two drives - one 500GB and one 1TB, and 8GB RAM. My thinking is to use the 500GB drive for the OS, and the 1TB for media storage. I know I still have a good bit of learning to do, but I just want to get the blasted thing set up so I can get on with the hands-on part of figuring out how it works.

I attach a picture of my future disk partitioning,as I thought it should be. As you can see, the first two partitions are 2 different windows installations. At the end of the disk, I have specified a partition as ext3 104855 MB (sda9) and swap 8192 MB (sda. What should the the mount point of sda9 be? Should I specify a partition for /, /boot, /home, /tmp, ...etc? Or it is ok to make mount point '/'?

When I attach my ipod it gets automatically recognised and mounted to "/media/user's ipod". This is great but I would like to change the mount point to just "/media/ipod/" as it easier to use with gnupod (command driven ipod access oh yes!!) I've had a look around and I know how to mount devices but I'm at a lose as to how things in fedora are automatically mounted... I use gnome so from what I've read hal, dbus, and udev yeah? but I'm not sure what configuration files need to be changed. At the moment I'm just wanting to change the ipods mount point but I would like know more so any technical how-to or articles, or things to look at (I'm thinking X), to understand auto mounting would be nice too.

I see that there is a pcmcia rules, Do I add all modules to this list so hat it can be probed. Once pccardctl is working, how do I find the volume and mountit or set fstab to create the mount point or to have it automatically mounted in media.

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).

On SUSE 11.2 when a CD or DVD is automounted (in the /media directory) it appears that the mount point chosen for the disk always has extra blanks at the end of the mount.
For example, if the label on the CD was DISK-001, the mount point chosen by SUSE is
/media/DISK-001 /
In 11.1 (and earlier) the mount point would have been
/media/DISK-001/
I'm assuming that the trailing blanks are filling in unused or blank chars at the end of the CD label.
Is there any way to change this annoying behavior? I much prefer NOT to have trailing blanks in the mount point.

I have servers installed with RHEL 4 2.6.9-89.0.9 ELsmp. I tried using uuid and label in /etc/fstab to automount usb drives to mountpoints that I specify after reboot. Unfortunately, it just does not work in all my RHEL4 servers. After every reboot, /etc/fstab will be automatically modified and all configurations related to my USB drives will be changed. Irregardless of whether i use UUID or LABEL in my /etc/fstab.However, it works on RHEL5. But, upgrading is not an option in my environment. I have been googling around looking for alternatives but everything seems to point back to using UUID or LABEL in /etc/fstab. Anyone has tried something that works? Please help me, thank you.

My previous setup was Windows Vista on partition 1, Windows 7 on partition 2, and my recovery partition on partition 3. I'm trying to switch from vista to fedora (cuz I hate vista), so I removed partition 1 and 3, expanded partition 2 a bit (from 80 gig to 150), and moved it all the way to the left with gparted. This gave me a 150g partition labled sda2 as my first partition. I then installed fedora on the (about) 150g of free space. After going into fedora, I used fdisk /dev/sda with menu option f to fix my partition labels. Now I have Windows 7 on partition sda1, fedora's boot on sda2, and fedora on a logical volume in sda3.
My issue is that I have that same old error bootmgr is missing when I try to boot to windows 7. I checked my grub menu, my fdisk, it all looks good to me, so hopefully someone can help me out. If I'm unable to do this without reformatting, could someone please advise me on a program to clone my windows 7? I have a lot of expensive programs on there that I could, in theory, go back to the manufacturer and request a new copy, but I doubt if I even have any license keys written down and I don't know where they would be, so hopefully I can pull them all off and have them work on a new install. Contents of fdisk -l and cat /boot/grub/menu.lst to follow:
