I installed Fedora 13. I edited my fstab to automount my NTFS-3g drive. It worked. Then I updated to Kernel 2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64 It doesn't work any more.
On boot-up I get the following error (already showing in the login-page):
Code:
Here my fstab:
Code:
The directory /media/Data continues to exist.
Currently I have a dual boot system it consists of Fedora 12 and Windows Vista, at this time when I am logged into fedora 12 I can select the windows vista partition in the f12 file manager, I am than prompted for the root password and after entering the password, the drive mounts as read/write with no problem. How can I automate this mounting process so once I login as a standard user the NTFS partition mounts without any input? I would like this to auto mount without prompting for a password or having to double click on the vista partition each time.

How can I correctly mount all partitions I want on startup?
Recently I tried something in the /etc/fstab file but don't know if this is correct...
Nautilus mounts NTFS partitions when I acces them, and before mounting, it asks for root password. Is there a method to auto-mount ntfs partitions on Debian startup, without requiring root password each time they are automatically mounted ? And without installing additional packages.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHave a 1TB external USB hard drive I want to use on both Windows and Linux (Mythbuntu 9.10), so I thought the easiest way would be to format it with NTFS. Installed the NTFS-3G package and I'm able to read and write to the drive fine from Linux, however I have a few questions;
1) How do I configure Linux so that when it mounts the NTFS partition it is writeable for user, group and other (bascially I want everyone to have read and write access)? Currently when the NTFS disk is mounted the permissions are restricted to the user only and I suspect I'll need to edit fstab for this, but don't have much experience here so need help with the specifics.
2) If my Linux PC is turned on with the external drive attached, the disk is not mounted until I double click on the icon on the desktop. Is there anyway I can configure Linux so that it will automatically mount the external disk when booting?
Below is what is in my fstab file at present;

I have a windows partition on my drive, and I want to access it without having to mount it first, etc. There are just two partitions, windows and Ubuntu. I am running Ubuntu 10.04.1 so I want to mount it on startup. I saw this article: [URL] but I don't know if what it describes will work as it's almost 2 years old. I'm not adverse to commands, in fact would probably prefer those.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a dual boot setup with a fair amount of files in my windows volume. I noticed that the Ubuntu 10.4 GNOME version (at least) does not auto mount my NTFS drive. Of course as I have seen from various post this gets annoying when opening up a program that loads previous files before I for ex, click the '110GB FileSystem' icon from Nautilus or similar...that seems to mount it for me then... I want my 110GB NTFS volume to mount automatically so I dont have to do this process everytime I reboot.
I found a post on the forum (the latest one I could find) below that recommends installing ntfs-config. The post is from May 2008 but mentions 10.10 (via edits) so I'm confused and wondering if there is an easier/default way..or this is still the way to go? After several screw ups editing system files manually, Im very cautious about doing it in this case because its a work computer and frankly the uninsttall or editing the fstab manually worries me.
I have edited my /etc/fstab file in order to have it automatically mount a windows network share at startup.
The problem is, that it isn't really working during startup. After I log in, in order to make it mount I have to open the terminal and enter "mount -a".
The following is my fstab file:
Code:
I suspect this has something to do with my laptop not having made a network connection when the entries are mounted, but I'm not sure. How would I go about finding out about any errors?
I have successfully mounted my Win7 volume and my external hard drives NTFS volume as well. However, after modifying the fstab I seem to only be getting the win7 volume to auto-mount. Below is the contents of my fstab. /dev/sdf3 is not mounting. Again, it works no problem if I manually mount it.

my wired auto ethernet stopped working. It doesn't appear to be my machine or the hub as the connection is fine using windows on the computer.I'm a bit clueless on the Networking front in Ubuntu. I've brought up the Network Connections box and checked that the Mac address is correct (and it is). I've tried it on Lubuntu and Openbox, but still no luck. The only oddity I see is that the Network Connections box says that the auto ethernet connection has never been used .

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have had my computer set to dual boot Windows 7 for months now with no issue. Now today when I logged on to Slackware (13.1 x86_64) it suddenly stopped recognizing that my Windows 7 drive has anything on it. Fdisk cannot see any partitions anymore. Yet I can reboot the computer and run Windows 7 off it just fine. The windows drive should be /dev/sdb with sdb1 being its system reserved partition and sdb2 being the actual Windows partition.
Dmesg sees that it is there like my other drives, but it appears that the Windows 7 partition is not unaccessable to anything in Linux.
How could this work yesterday yet today it doesn't? I didn't change anything.
When i double click the ntfs drives in "computer" it shows "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'Vista'. "

I have been able to format them in Red Hat and they have worked with Netbackup however the only way I can get them mounted is by having them plugged in and then restarting the whole system. The older drives are completely plug and play.
Here are the steps that I have been following;
Then I set the file system type with;
Next I create the new filesystem on the drive with the command;
Then I finalize the format with;
Followed by a restart, which of course the drive comes up. But if I unmount the drive and remove it and then plug it back in nothing comes up. Trying to manually mount it doesn't come up with anything. I have attempted this with 3 different brand new Western Digital external HD's.
I've looked in the fstab and when I plug in the old hd's it comes up with the command to mount it. With the new one's its not there unless I do the complete system restart.
I have this ubuntu machine that lives under my desk and is basically a utility machine. Mainly I ssh to it and get synchronize/backup files, etc.
When I reboot, for some reason the auto mount for my usb drives doesn't work until I actually hook up the monitor and log in to the gui. When I ssh in after reboot, I'm unable to access my USB drives! "Not Authorized"
I'm not sure how to mount a drive from the command line... really I just want the machine to auto mount the drives when it starts up... gui login or no.
I've installed Lubuntu on a Packard Bell EasyNote W3344 D. lsusb displays the usb pen, however it's not automounted. All three options under pcmanfm --> Preferences -- Volume Managment is ticked. I've tried two different usb pens, both formatted fat32 and confirmed working on ordinary Ubuntu. I should add that I previously installed Mint Fluxbox, but eventually reinstalled (choosing Lubuntu) because I wasn't able to enable auto mount of usb pen. Both /mnt and /media remains empty after insertion of the usb pen. Auto mount of optical drive is working properly.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been learning again! Now I'm stuck. I have two external HDs. I ran dd if=/dev/sdg/ of=/media/1TB/max.img I now have a file called max.img on the other hard drive. I want to mount that image but it wont mount, its NTFS. I have run
mount /media/1TB/max.img ~/Desktop/Max -o loop
but I get told
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
So I then run
mount -t ntfs-3g /media/1TB/max.img ~/Desktop/Max -o loop
But again am told NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/loop0': Invalid argument The device '/dev/loop0' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

I was running ubuntu and windows 7 as dual boot, I taught of trying out fedora 13 and installed it. I faced some issues with grub, like it does not detected my ubuntu, so, I used my ubuntu live cd and restored my ubuntus grub. So, now I want to use the fedora grub. I cannot restore it. Can I get restoring the grub from fedora's live CD?
And, I am using gnome as desktop environment, when I go to places and click anyof my partitions, it asks me root password, I am little frustrated to give password of root every time I mount any-of the partitions. In my ubuntu, It doesn't need any root password, It just auto mounts the partitions. How do we do that?
Here is my "fdisk -l "

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy Fedora does not auto detect a flash drive if I get to attach it with the OS already running. I still have to make a reboot and attached the drive right from the start in order for it to be detected/mounted.
Unlike In Mint 7, Ubuntu and XP, it automatically detects the flash drive as soon as it is attached.
make my Fedora detect the flash drive so that I would not have to reboot everytime I would use it.
