Fedora :: Mount Point Disappears After Reboot?
Jun 15, 2011
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 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.

Sometimes after I reboot, by desktop background is just a black screen. When I go to the settings folder, it shows the image that it previously was, but i have to change either the "zoom" or "tile" settings, or just change the image in order for it to reappear. I really have no idea why this happens, and certainly does not happen with every reboot. If it helps, I am using Intel Ironlake Mobile.

I am trying to set up bridge, and everything seems to be ok, except 1 thing, it disappears after reboot. So, what I am doing:
Code:
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth0
and adding /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0, here it is:
Code:
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
DEVICE=br0
BOOTPROTO=none
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
DNS1=208.67.222.222
DNS2=208.67.220.220
TYPE=bridge
HWADDR=00:18:f3:75:18:78
IPADDR=192.168.1.3
IPV6INIT=no
ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=no
and my ifcfg-eth0 is:
Code:
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
DNS1=208.67.222.222
DNS2=208.67.220.220
TYPE=bridge
HWADDR=00:18:f3:75:18:78
IPADDR=192.168.1.3
IPV6INIT=no
ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=no
How to make it working after reboot?

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 :

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 have reinstalled 10.04 several times and have the same result. After the install everything works and looks great. Then after the first power down and reboot the top menu bar and bottom panel are gone.
The desktop wallpaper (bare of anything) is there, still responds to right-clicks, etc, and the system seems to function, but the menu bar is missing. The extents of the desktop are still the same, so it's not the desktop extending outside of the screen display area (mouse doesn't disappear over the edge).
I can alt-F1 to get to the menu bar menu items, and they function - appearing from the top edge of the screen, but cannot activate them via mouse. I have reinstalled several times and this consistently happens every time. I had 8.10 on this box and it didn't do this. I reinstalled 8.10 and it was fine again, and then back to this with reinstalled 10.04. The 8.10 was a virgin install and I reformatted the drive on every install so there's no legacy crap clinging on.
I can use ctrl-alt-del to shut down/restart/etc., and alt-F2 gets me the command line. All seemingly functional.

I had a thread earlier asking for help installing Ubuntu Server to my homemade atom based NAS, but I gave up on that (GUI's are more helpful to me ) and so now I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop 64bit edition.Last night I was finally able to get mdadm set up. I have two 1TB disks set up in RAID1 config. I used
Code:
sudo mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
to create the array, and then waited until it finished assembling. Then I used System>Administration>Disk
[code]....

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.

Gateway m275 laptop with builtin smartcard reader. I've done modeprobe - <mmc module of all types> after having removed modprobe.conf file. 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've been having issues with my ubuntu server (10.04 LTS) lately. Every once in a while, anywhere from 3 days to a month or more, the server will just disappear from the network. All manner of trying to reach it from the outside fails, even from the LAN. Since it's headless, this is kind of problematic. After a hard power down or reboot, the server will always come back online, but this is very annoying for a remotely administered server.
What should I look for when trying to determine why the server keeps going offline? I can't tell if there are any other issues like a hard lockup or anything, just that it is not on the network anymore when this happens.

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.

so now that I believe I've successfully mounted the partition how do I direct the bootloader to this partition /dev/sda6 on /media/11076e45-e27d-470b-bb6d-6894f7809a0c type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit)

I am dual-bootng Ubuntu 9.10 and Mint 8, both of which use GRUB2. The Mint 8 GRUB sets the initial menu since Mint was loaded after Ubuuntu 9.10. Since both use GRUB2 I was not concerned about this.
Both before the installation of Mint and afterward I see a series of messages fly by on the screen when Ubuntu is booted. These come right after the initial presentation of the Ubuntu logo.
By restarting several times I can read the first several lines. They are:
Mount: Mount Point 0 does not exist
Mount 0 terminated with status 32
Mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted
Further lines follow but I would have to reboot umpteen times to have any chance of copying those.
I have looked in the various Ubuntu GRUB2 files for "Mount Point 0". I do not see any reference to it.
GParted, BKID and etc/fstab all agree on the UUIDs set for my Ubuntu/, Ubuntu Home and Ubuntu swap file.
I see nothing like this when I boot Mint 8.
My questions:
What is the point to error messages (I assume that is what they are) that fly by too quickly to be read? Are they saved to a logfile somewhere?
What is "Mount Point 0"?
What does it mean in this context to say "Filesystem could not be mounted"?
This is all very curious because Ubuntu proceeds to mount and run just fine.
What is Ubuntu trying to do as it starts up that it cannot do?
How do I repair whatever has to be repaired in order to turn off these messages?
I have looked through such GRUB2 dcumentation as I can find without seeing any reference to this.

I have a folder shared over NFS that contains three sub folders:
(Machine A)
/usr/nfsshare/a
/usr/nfsshare/b
/usr/nfsshare/c
I can see these three folders just fine on machine B via nfs.
sudo mount machineA:/usr/nfsshare /mnt/ShareMountOnB
Now I want to mount a second drive in machine A, and mount it as a fourth shared folder:
mkdir /usr/nfsshare/d
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /usr/nfsshare/d
I can see and access all four folders on machine A just fine. I can see all four folders on machine B in /mnt/ShareMountOnB, but when I descend into folder d, it is empty! Bizarrely I can create files in this empty folder d on machine B, but I have no idea where they are being held. They are certainly not in machine A. What I have to do to access the real contents of folder d. I have already changed all permissions and owners to be identical to the other folders.Sharing it over samba to a Windows PC works fine.

I just installed 11.04 beta yesterday and was following along with this article so I could setup a "Storage" partition and always have access to the same files in win 7 or ubuntu. [URL]
The problem happens when you try to install and use ntfs-config and run it. Here is the description from the article:

Now head to the System->Administration menu and pick the NTFS Configuration Tool.
You'll see a few partitions listed, likely as /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, and the like. If you only want your storage drive, it should be listed as /dev/sda3 or something similar--just not the first or second options. Check the box for "Add," click in the "Mount point" column to give it a name (Storage, perhaps?), and hit "Apply." Check both boxes on the next window to allow read/write access, and hit OK, and you're done. Now the drive with all your stuff is accessible to Windows and Linux at all times.
When I try to run the ntfs-config, I get the following.
However, in the software center there is a note below the ntfs-config download saying:

I've just formatted a new USB drive to ext4. After creating a mountpoint (/media/Vids) and mounting it I changed permissions so my user owned the filesystem. I added the filesystem to /etc/fstab.
However, when unmounting the drive the mountpoint directory disappeared and I have to manually recreate the mountpoint everytime I want to remount the drive. What's going on?

Been trying to find out the mount point for an external usb hub. I can find information with lsusb :
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0608
and dmesg:
[0.924293] hub 1-0:1.0: 4 ports detected
But can't seem to find where the hub is mounted. I've tried / dev and /etc/fstab and mtab and /media. BTW what does [0.924293] signify?

Since my dvd-writer passed away, I disconnected it from the pc and I reconnected temporarily, an older one that I have (an IDE one).My problem is, that I don't any longer have a static mount point (/dev/cdrom, or something similar), but I have a dynamic one instead (eg. for the dvd labeled "My_data", I have /media/My_data).I really dislike dynamic mount points, since I can't work from konsole (eg. eject doesn't work any more), or with cd archivers (like cdcat).
The only thing I changed is the related BIOS settings (enabling IDE controller and setting the dvdwriter to primary master).The related fstab entry didn't changed of course. (Actually, fstab didn't changed at all)./dev/scd0/media/cdrom0udf,iso9660user,noauto00

I can see, that openSUSE mounts cdroms (at /media) according to cd label (eg. /media/data_dvd_x). My problem is, that several applications (eg. a cd cataloguer) expecting to find the cd at /media/cdrom0, or something similar. Is it possible to fix it? (Tell openSUSE to mount cds at a single point)?

Is the mount point for external media (like USB) always /media?
Because in a Debian system, if I plug in any USB device that goes to the /media folder. So is it the case with all the other Linux flavors like Fedora, Ubuntu, etc. If a USB device is automatically mounted will it always go to the /media directory?
I am not concerned about the name of the devices. I am looking for every external media (like USB) to be listed under /media directory so that my code can run on any flavor of Linux.

I have a CentOS 5 production server with multiple OS-managed RAID-1 sets. I'd like to add a new mirrored set and move the /var partition to the new drives. On a non-RAID system I would boot from the install CD to edit fstab and copy the existing files to the new drive, but I'm pretty sure booting off the install CD does not recognize my RAID setup.
