# mkdir /mnt/usbdrive
# mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive
Instead of seeing the drive content I see my harddrive's GRUB & Kernel partition. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to see the drive's content?
My question is one of my users was using open suse on his workstation (690 DELL),there are 4 harddrives connected to the machine one is of 160GB and the other three are of 1terrabytes.His 160GB HDD got corrupted the one which is having OS and we replaced it to the new one.User advised to install RHEL 5.2 so i installed RHEL 5.2on 160GB HDD by disconnecting the other three HDD.After installing the machine i tried to mount the other three HDD but could'nt.The error message iam getting is 'Not valid partitiion table'.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI installed Linux (ubuntu 8.04) to an 80 gig harddrive, but want to reformat the drive to install windows. Problem is, for some reason windows XP won't recognize the harddrive at all.More importantly, when I boot from a Ubuntu live CD, it doesn't seem to recognize the harddrive. Or at least, there is no entry in /etc/fstab like /dev/hda (hdb,c,d) I have tried different Live CD's (ubuntu, knoppix)... How can I get the Linux liveCD to recognize the drive?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to mount an NTFS USB hardrive inside a Xen DomU, but I keep receiving a permission denied error.I am using CentOS release 5.4 (Final) x86_64 for both Dom0 and DomU with latest updates
DomU # mount /mnt/iomega
ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Permission denied
Steps taken to reach the error:
1. I installed fuse and fuse-ntfs-3g in the Dom0 and successfully mounted the USD drive to make sure it worked. Then I unmounted it and block attached it to the DomU.
Dom0 # xm block-attach DomU phy:/dev/sdd xvdc r
2. I installed fuse and fuse-ntfs-3g in the DomU.I turned off SELinux (Though I don't think this is an issue)
DomU # /usr/sbin/getenforce
Permissive
3. checked for the USB drive with fdisk and found it /dev/xvdc1
DomU # /sbin/fdisk -l
Disk /dev/xvda: 10.4 GB, 10485760000 bytes[code]...........
I have a ntfs hard drive (my "C" drive in Windows) and it has some very important data (baby pictures) on it. The drive is, for some reason, very fail-prone. Last time it went out, I used ubuntu to make a windows disk (I have the key, nothing illegal!) and it went to the error fixing part or what have you and fixed it all up. That was a few days ago, and I was working on backing up the picturs but hadn't finished, and it failed again. Now I can't get it to fix the current windows installation, even though it's doing the same thing (making a clicking noise and stalling on boot before eventually giving up and booting to the ubuntu "d" drive.), it will only take me to the part about installing a new copy of windows, which I don't want to do because that would wipe the drive.
So my next idea was to try and get at the pictures through ubuntu, but when I use sudo fdisk -l, it only shows me my ubuntu hard drive.. Is there anything I can do to find and mount the other drive? I really can't afford to take it in to a professional for data recovery, and I've had them charge me an arm and a leg and do nothing but wipe my drive in the past, so I want to do everything I can to try and get my pictures back myself.
I was running 11.0 and it stalled in the middle of a number of updates. On reboot I now get (if I remember correctly) Error 15: File not found.I managed to get my hands on a 11.0 live cd and started trying to fix grub. However, when I try mounting the harddrive using "mount /dev/sda1" I got
Code:
can`t find sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
"mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" gives

I believe server section is the best when speaking of RAID stuff...
I have the following situation:We have a DELL T3400 with embedded fake raid on it. I dont know exactly how the system was setup (I wasnt here at that time), but the RAID was enabled in bios and while booting, the two harddrives would be seen as members of intel raid volume0 (RAID 1 mirror). I am not sure if the software raid was actually properly configured in Linux (Fedora 9) and if the OS was reconstructing the whole raid or it was just the bios part that was mirroring the /boot or just some parts of it. Frankly I find these hydrid raids very confusing.Some bad disk manipulation from my part caused the server to crash, but I was able to recover and boot just with one hard drive after using fsck.
I decided to get rid of the raid as it's not the right solution for the application we need it for and decided to go for a traditional single harddrive system and to use Ghost for Linux to clone to a spare disk when backups are needed.So I installed the latest Fedora 12 distribution onto another harddrive and disabled RAID in bios (changed from RAID ON to autodetect, which is the only other option).
Here is what I have now:
/dev/sda has the newly installed fedora 12
/dev/sdb is an empty harddrive that I would use as an intermediate
/dev/sdc is the old harddrive member of intel raid volume0
sdb was partitioned into sdb1 sdb2 and sdb3 and I created an ext3 filesystem on sdb2. The hard drive belonging to RAID volume0 (sdc) has a lot of work done on it and I would like to be able to recuperate the files to the new disk (sda). I cannot mount that old harddrive while in fedora 12, as it sees some unknown raid member filesystem on it probably assigned by the intel raid chip.
So I decided to do it from the other side: to boot from raid volume 0, and from there mount a third intermediate harddrive (sdb) onto which I would copy the documents and then mount the same harddrive from the newly installed fedora 12 and copy those documents from that intermediate harddrive.I can mount /dev/sdb2 from fedora 12 fine and copy stuff to and from it, but not when I boot from the RAID volume 0 harddrive (sdc) with fedora 9 on it. It keeps saying that the partition in question (/dev/sdb2) is an invalid block device.I am stuck here, as my knowledge in this sort of things is very limited.If somebody can indicate me how to recuperate files from that old raid harddrive onto the new fedora 12 drive, I would appreciate a lot.
I'm a new user to Fedora and wonder one thing.
I install like this. code...
All whas encrypted thrue the setup.
When i log back in i check places/removeable media/25.1 GB Encrypted data. and when i press i type my password and hit enter, but it wont decrypt?
I have disk on desktop, bt i cant do anything whit it?
i just got fedora 13 from the dvd 64 bit and when i looked at how much space it took up in computer in it said i only had 43 gigs left out of a 610 gig hard drive then i go to my home folder it says 504 gigs of free space but then i look at my system monitor it said i had 547 gigs is this a bug.

Will there be any issues if I try to load windows 7 on another partition after I install fedora?
Yes my motherboard has UEFI.
I'm making life difficult for myself. Summary, I have a laptop with F10 installed on a portable harddrive (sdb 1-3, i.e., no logical volume) Works great, no complaints so I guess this reduces to a grub question; how do I edit grub.conf to boot an iso on sdb4? Fedora10.iso for example.

View 14 Replies View RelatedFirst of all I have to say I love Fedora, just switched from openSuSE after the system was kinda sluggish the last 2 or 3 versions. But one thing I always liked was the fact that when the system went into suspend my external harddrive spun down and after resuming it spun up again as soon as I tried to access a file. Now in Fedora the harddrive continues spinning and is unavailable after resuming. There is nothing about the harddrive in dmesg, not during suspending and not even when i unplug it after resuming.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIts annoying to unmount my flash drive twice.. its not a major problem actually but its kinda annoying , its whenever i plug-in my flash drive.. everything works well except when i need to un-mount it.. I usually unmount it twice using right-click of the mouse, then it mounts itself back, so i have to unmount it again.. Is there any way to control this? How do i setup the auto-mount option for USB flash drives?

I have two harddrives installed on my HTPC. I am using the smaller (120gb) to run the OS (kubuntu 10) the larger (1 tb) I want to use to store all of my media.
However....
The second hard drive has THREE linux Distros on it (from me testing and playing and making decisions) and I CANT figure out how to get them off.....
The hard drives are SATA and plugged in in the correct order.
I have tried fdisking and reformating which seemed to work, but when I boot it still asks me which OS i want to boot to.
Right now I am trying to zero out the hard drive by using ths
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb
I typed that in as root about 15 minutes ago and hit enter. it hasn't said anything since. no command prompt or anythng. I am hoping it is working, we will see.
In my server I have 2 harddrives. sda and sdbSata port 1 = sdaSata port 2 = sdbBut after i add a new harddrive the new structure looks like this:
Sata port 1 = sda
Sata port 2 = sdc
Sata port 3 = sdb

Recently, I've installed openSUSE 11.4. Now I can't write to my USB Disk through samba.
It is formatted as ntfs.
samba log tells a lot of things.... for eg.:

I thought I installed properly, but once again I've made a mistake. I'm trying to make use of the 114 gb I didn't assign as file system space, but I can't seem to access it or write to it. I've officially run out of space in my file system and I've got a lot to do still. Any thoughts on how to make the unused partition accessable?
