I've migrated back to Fedora as I am just displeased with the majority of debian based distros and Sabayon at the moment. Fedora has grown up quite a bit since FC9 and I'm here to stay. I keep all of my media and documents on a seperate partition on my disk and am wondering how I can have it set to automatically mount it upon startup. It gets kind of annoying having to re-enter my password every reboot just to mount the partition that 90% of my time is spent on.
how to make my other partition mount at Ubuntu startup? I have a shortcut to my windows XP documents folder, but the shortcut is broken every time I restart because the other partition has not been mounted. I assume there is a terminal command I need to type into my start-up manager?
yesterday I did an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 and this time it was a mixed experience, most thing worked, but some things like gdm, sound and other setting need(ed) corrections to work again (as in 9.10).In 9.10 I setup my system so that the second partition (data) was only manually mounted after asking for my password.
After updating 10.04 I asking me at every bootup whether I want to manually mount or skip the mounting. And when I manually mount the partition I don't need any password anymore.Why did the upgrade change my setting?Not being an linux-expert, having not documented how I have done the previous setup and being unlucky with google, I could use some pointers in the right direction.Even if I sound not so happy at the moment I really appreciate the good work that went into ubuntu. After setting up my system after each new installation or upgrade I enjoyed a carefree time with ubuntu (where I forget everything I need to setup my system because it just works as it should).
I have just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my win7 laptop (Acer Timeline 3810T) with wubi. I can mount the laptop's windows partition with no issues using NTFS Config (after installing hal), but every time after I reboot ubuntu tells me that it cannot mount the windows partition. If I reopen NTFS config after reboot now my previously-mounted partition shows as having 0Gb of data and there is a new /host partition that represents the windows partition. I can then mount it again by renaming it into /media/Windows and it again works until a reboot.
I want to mount a remote drive on bootup. I'm using FC14 and remote machine is FreeBSD. I've written a shell script to mount it. The script contains only one line: Code: mount 192.168.1.33:/home/user7 /media/mc33
I've to run this script from superuser mode to mount the file system(it works). So to mount it at bootup, I added the shell script to my PATH (/home/me/bin) and added it to Menu->System->Preferences->Startup Applications. Well this doesn't work because the root privileges are not present. I tried fixing it by giving root privileges to my shell script Code: #chmod +s mount-mc33 but it made no difference.
I just moved from ubuntu to fedora 14 and I'm having an issue with a portable USB hard drive. When the hard drive is connected at startup it mounts at /dev/sda and my other 3 internal hard drives are mounted at /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd; of course this is an issue with my FSTAB file since i mount some of the partitions in the first hard drive (/dev/sda) at some special points in my file system, so i need to restart my computer and unplug the USB hard drive to get things working, however when i was working with ubuntu this didn't happen. I need that the USB hard drive mounts at /dev/sdd at startup so my FSTAB could work.
I have the swap partition configured normally in fstab but it doesn't automount when I boot up. Not only that but I can't manually mount it either (ie with 'swapon -a', 'swapon -L /dev/sda7' etc). When I try I get this error -
Every time I reboot PC I have to enter the admin password to mount ntfs partition. Is there any way to avoid this. In Fedora 10 there was remember authorization option, is there any option like this in F12?
I am having trouble mounting a nfs network partition. I think my problem is related to the firewall in my server.
1. - When the firewall is disable in the server, all the clients are able to mount the network partition without a problem. This is good, but I want the firewall active.
2.- When the firewall enabled, without any port opened, none of the clients are able to connect to the server (expected behavior). This is the message I got:
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.103:/home/username /mnt/myHomeCaraota/ mount: mount to NFS server '192.168.1.103' failed: System Error: No route to host.
3.- When I open port 2049 only (see lines below) Nothing changed. I got the same message. No connetion
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT
4.- If I open ,additionally, ports tcp/udp 111 thre is an improvement because at least I get:
usename@laptop ~]$ sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.103:/home/username /mnt/myHomeCaraota/ mount: mount to NFS server '192.168.1.103' failed: timed out (retrying). mount: mount to NFS server '192.168.1.103' failed: timed out (retrying). mount: mount to NFS server '192.168.1.103' failed: timed out (retrying).
[Code]...
But in the last case I am opening everything to the clients (192.168.1.100-192.168.1.104) and I believe it is not a good use of the firewall. In summary, I think my nfs configuration is o.k, because I am able to mount the partitions when the firewall is down or when all the ports are open for a given number of clients. I also believe that I need to open ports 111 and 2049 because at leas the server is responding, but I know that I need something else, but I can not figure out what that is.
i am having troble with the permisions of a partition(/dev/sda3) that i have mounted as /home/stewi and wish to use it as my home dir, the only probolem is that it only lets the root user do anathing with the partition wen it is mounted as /home/stewi. i have tried running
Code: chown stewi:stewi stewi and Code: chmod 777 stewi while root, but i just get an eror mesage:
Anybody know how to make an ext3 or 4 partition start up at boot with only the owner and its group having read and write access permissions.I don't want 'others' to have folder access. This is what i have done. / etc/fstab:/dev/sdb5/media/Data ext4 owner 1 2 The folder starts on the boot since it has been allocated a folder as u can see. Next i changed the the ownership and the group ownership of the folder:chown johnny:johnny /media/DataThe problem is that other users can few my partition since 'others' have read access. How do i change that to zero access?
The default partition manager which OpenSUSE DVD 11.4 uses (Expert Partitioner) is not creating any logic partition with / mount because another system is already using it, is there anyway to fix this?
My 10.04 is mounting my USB drive at startup. This is fine except sometimes it mounts to drivename_ rather than to drivename. How do I make it always mount to drivename.
I had windows vista on one partition, xp on another documents on another and programs on another.When I installed ubuntu on a new partition it very kindly let me see all the other partitions and mount them as necessary. I would like all my ubuntu files, documents music downloads to go right on to the documents partition so when I back up that drive to an external I have it backs up the documents drive it has all the files I have created in vista or ubuntu. Eventually I want to leave windows completely but I would still want to store all the ubuntu files on the documents drive.
I can go to "places" and mount the documents drive but what I would like to do is when I fire up ubuntu that the documents drive mounts automatically.
I have come across the following statement: " When a FAT32 partition is mounted at '/media/windows', all access to '/media/windows' and everything below it is transparently handled by the Linux kernel using the 'vfat' module. Applications need not know they're dealing with anything else. However, mounting a partition at a location inside of another mounted partition is unpredictable, unstable, and generally a bad idea. "
Is it correct? Most of my partitions are mounted on /home, which is on a separate partition; and I have one "level 3" partition. I have been using Ubuntu for nearly three years so far with no problems (except for /home losing it's format once).
I am having difficulties to mount my NAS (zyxel nsa210) on startup. After some online research, i stumbled upon the "solution".I was advised to write an entry into the fstab-file and that's what i did.And this actually worked like a charm and i was then able to find NAS in "Places". (Not on my desktop since i disabled it). BUT this works not after booting up...meaning there is nothing like NAS in "Places" and i have to mount it manually by using the "sudo mount -a"-command...there is nothing automatic about this solution...So now my question for everyone capable of answering me: "Where did i go wrong? i have installed smbfs and the folder where the NAS should be mounted in actually exists, so the usual suspects should be ruled out i guess
My problem is that in order to get Banshee to play my music thats in a Windows system on the LAN, I have to mount the volume first. This works fine if I navigate to the folder every time I startup Ubuntu and then play music through the library in banshee. However, I want to add a command to mount the volume on startup in the startup applications. I tried this in a terminal:
Code: sudo mount -a smb://home/p/My Music /home/username/Music/Music on Home This didn't mount anything. In fact, I couldn't even cd to the directory "smb://home/p/My Music". And yes, I did already make the directory "/home/username/Music/Music on Home". I'm thinking that my problem is really how do I write the address of a Windows network drive.
I've got a removeable disk which I want to mount on startup automatically at mountpoint "/backupsystem". If' it's not there I would like to have no error message. Actually after upgrading to 10.4 I get the message: Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.". But I don't wand this if the disk is not there that's OK for me. How would I configure fstab to achieve this?
i have dual OS in my hard disk. win xp and rhel5. i used use ntfs partition too while working in linux. There is no problem until i enable selinux. When i enabled that, its giving some error at startup and left the partition unmounted. But manually i can mount after logged in. But i need it at the startup itself. How to solve this.i am installed dkms* dkms-fuse* fuse* and fuse-ntfs-3g* rpms to use the ntfs partitions.
I have an external Western Digital Hard drive with two HFS partitions with journaling disabled.When I connect it to a computer running Linux (Debian or Ubuntu), frequently both partitions are mounted read-only. In the past, mounting them on my Macbook and executing the command to disable the journaling often worked (even though it would tell me that journaling was already disabled) but I would love to have a solution which works every time.
I have a dedicated server that Ubuntu 9.04 operating system has been installed on it. Before this dedicated server, I had another server that according to some reasons, it was put aside and I requested my datacenter support team to attach previous server's HDD to my new server in order to transfer its information to the new server's HDD. On the disks of previous HDD, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS OS had been installed and most of its capacity was full, but while I mounted that HDD on the new server, the contents of the primary partition were visible but the contents of the extended partition weren't visible. After some inspectings, I observerd that the extended partition type is converted to LVM. Before this, I didn't deal with this kind of partition. I tried to mount this partition but I failed. I read many articles about this problem and implemented instructions on the HDD but the LVM partition was never mounted that returns many different errors and even I pursued the reasons of this errors but non of these remedies didn't solve this problem. Since the datacenter had determined a specifies time for transfering information. then I had to return the SCSI HDD on the specified time, so I was forced to make an image of the hard disk by "TestDisk" software. I've made that image from the LVM partition which its capacity amounts to 150 GB but still I'm not able to mount the image according to instructions on the different related websitres. Since I'm really dummy in Linux Fle System field, I request you to help me to mount this image or extract its contents.
Ubuntu has been complaining about swap not being ready during boot. The swap partition was showing up un-known in gparted. I booted off CD, reformatted it to swap. Error message gone but system monitor > resources shows my swap size to be 86GB (the exact size of my shared NTFS volume). gparted shows the swap partition as not 'swapped on'

I wanted to know if it is possible to mount an ISO image to a partition and boot from that instead of a CD or DVD. I know it is easy to do it from a CD but I would like to know if I can also do it this way.
I want to mount my all windows partition in my "Red Hat Linux", please help me to mount all my windows partition in linux.And please tell if i mount windows partition is it harmful for windows/partition?
I have Linux Mint (LMDE) on another partition and I guess I need to do some 'fixing' so I need to mount the partition. I can't, though, not by just clicking the partition (obviously?). I assume this is because I need root access to mount it.
how I can do this?:
1) CLI - mount via CLI by mounting at some point - for e.g., mine is /dev/sda3 so mount as ?
2) Use an 'editor' or file manager - such as Dolphin - how would I do this?
3) Use a Live CD/DVD - I think this way is unnecessary but it's a way, right?
Anything I missed? I guess gparted could mount it?
Which method would you use?
I think one could ssh into it but I'm not able to do that yet.
I need to exit the xorg.conf file which is recently really messed up.
