After a motherboard crash I have a problem. i have a LVM2 partition that is placed on 2 different physical disks that i need to read. Since I am pretty new to Linux/Fedora a friend helped me to install the system on my old system so i am not sure if the disk is formatted as ext2,ext3 or xfs. How do I mount these 2 disks to be able to read the files? when i run fdisk -l I got:

I've set up an NFS server on my MacBook, and mounted it on my Ubuntu desktop. Everything works fine, except all the files are read-only.

I`d like to know what happens when with the disks the we include in the installation process of Fedora 15.Obviously, the HD we choose to be the system is entirely formated and reconfigured. But what about the others?hat does happen to them? I`m asking this because I have included two brand new disks of 2 TB, one of them with 900.000 files and the other empty, both of them formated with ext4, and completely functional on Fedora 14.However, after the upgrade, in the very first Fedora 15 boot, these disks disapeared from "places", and could not be mounted even via terminal. Opening the Gnome Disk Utility, I found out they had been changed to VLM (instead of ext4) and that they also lost their original lable. I am starting to be concerned because all the data there was important to me.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy disks are constantly being remounted as read only. Even after I manually mount them and explicitly specify the rw option, after a while I find they have become read only. Needless to say, working like that is impossible. Fortunately the root partition is not affected, but every other partition is.

I have a 3ware controller that has a RAID 1 of two SATA disks.After an outage, the linux box (which is running ubuntu), restarted and the partition is now mounted read only. I only have the "/" mount point (this is a test server).Now, if I go to the 3ware controller by pressing ALT-3 while booting, I don't see any indication that there is something wrong with the disks.If I let the computer boot, I'm asked by fdisk if I want to fix/ignore/etc the inconsistencies found.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI did a fresh install of 11.04. It didn't let me choose custom mount points for my disks, so I left non-system partitions unmounted in the installer. Big mistake. It seemingly screwed with two of my disks. I can see them in disk utility, but disk utility cannot identify partition information.

I'm having a problem with my usb disks, on opensuse 11.2. USB disks only mount the first time after booting.
The scenario is, I boot, then I plug a usb disk. It mounts properly and I can use it. After I unmount it and unplug the disk, I try to plug it in and it doesn't mount. And none of my other usb disks will mount as well.
The only workaround is to reboot.
I checked /var/log/messages, and the disk is being detected, it's just not being mounted.
I have a computer with XP & Ubuntu dual-boot. My arrangement is like this:Physical hard drive #1, (NTFS XP partition, ext3 Ubuntu partition)Physical hard drive #2, (NTFS documents partition)The Ubuntu partition is always mounted, but the other 2 have to be mounted every-time I boot up. How can I have these other 2 partition always be mounted
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am triple booting Ubuntu 11.04, Win 7 and Win XP. Linux is on a separate EXT HDD, both Windows 7 and XP are on another NTFS HDD and all the work files etc. on a third NTFS HDD, all are SCSI disks.
When I start Ubuntu how do I make it automatically mount the NTFS disks? At the moment I only see the files on the Linux disc.
When using usb disks, there seems to be a difference in how they are mounted, based on the filesystem type on the disk.Vfat disks are mounted read/write for users, while extN filesystems are not.While I can fix that for individual devices, I would like to find a general solution, so that any usb storage device with any filesystem is mounted read/write for users.

I'm using my Ubuntu desktop to compile Linux From Scratch onto a Virtual Box disk image. I can make it mountable by using a vdfuse program I downloaded, but then I have to use sudo to mount the actual partition. I do not want to give another account the ability to use sudo.
p.s. does this only happen to certain distros, or is a part of the Linux kernel?
This question has been bugging me for a few days now: How do you mount, say, 3 HDDs to a single partition. From what I've heard, it's possible, but I'd like to know how. I'm running Crunchbang! Linux, based on Ubuntu, in case you're wondering.

how do i mount extra harddrives...?
- After a hardrive crash which took out my opensuse 11.2, I installed three new harddrives instead of the old ones. I have installed xp. To see of I could triple boot, i thereafter put in linux mint. I did not like that and installed opensuse 11.3 - to ensure it would place itself on the two second harddrives (formatted in ntfs and with some data on) i before installation took those cables off.. And now alas.. there are no mount points.
So I tried yast, and found the partitioner, chose edit tried to put mount points .. however.. nothing seemed to have happened...
Finally got FC8 installed on new machine, and now it won't mount CDs/DVDs - didn't change anything in BIOS, CD/DVD drive is only thing on the IDE controller (HD is SATA) so is it likely a driver issue? FC8 seemed to have correct (or at least working) drivers for LAN, audio, SATA, etc.

Currently there is Pclinuxos 2009 installed (the newest one with KDE 3.5). I used a frozen community repository, but this also brings the problem I cannot update the used programs as I am afraid it would attempt to replace the old KDE as well.
I know I can update Mozilla apps by downloading a static rpm and install with KPackage or Konsole and similar with LibreOffice. Not much friendly... I also discussed switching to other WM - but GNOME surely not, maybe Xfce (other ones have other issues).
Is it possible to somehow make KDE4 to behave like KDE3.5 in some ways? At least auto-mounting of flash drives etc.
i currently try to mount 4 internal sata disks using hal on a server installation?
i did
apt-get install hal and copied a .fdi script to /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/30-storage-all.fdi
as far is i understand now i need a hal/dbus client
gnome-volumen-manager seems to be one
apt-get install gnome-volume-manager
now im stuck there is no such executable like gnome-volumen-manager thus, how does it work? how can i start it? how do i know if and why the .fdi script works or fails?
since its a server edition and its purpose should be a very minimized server install i dont want a GUI like gnome fully installed
Not sure what the problem is, but my home directory or /home partition is acting up so that I cannot see the hidden directories in my home directory.
If I type "ls" I get the display of all my files and directories.
If I type "ls -l" I get the display of files and directories.
If I type "ls -a" or "ls -la", the terminal hangs.
Any thoughts? I have tried creating myself a new account and moved all my files over, then changed the ownerships to the new account. However, now the new account is acting the same way.

I installed openSUSE 11.4 on HP elitebook 2560p few days ago (using KDE live CD). In general system is working fine, but steel I cannot resolve couple of really annoying issues: 1. I've created encrypted partitions for swap and home during OS installation. As result the system keep asking for passwords for each of encrypted partitions before show login screen. That leads to situation when I have to type 3 passwords during each boot/reboot. I was using the same configuration (swap and home were encrypted) on Ubuntu 11.04 and there both encrypted partitions were mount automatically with no password typing after login to the system. Could you please tell how I can configure the same behavior on openSUSE 11.4 ?
2. I've enabled auto screen lock after 5 mins being inactive. As result when I going back to laptop and to unlock the screen the system shows login screen (default login screen with user selection). But when user and password filled in I click login it creates entire new KDE session. Therefore all staff that was open before screen lock is gone. However old session is still in the system (it appears in output from 'w' command).
I am trying to setup my webserver and I am trying to make a website to run under suexec but somehow I cannot start my apache it directly fails and SELinux is giving me errors and don't really know what to do with it, it is giving me some command to type but not sure if this will make my server less secure. The SELinux error is as follow:
Code:
Summary:
SELinux prevented httpd reading and writing access to http files.
Detailed Description:
SELinux prevented httpd reading and writing access to http files. Ordinarily httpd is allowed full access to all files labeled with http file context. This machine has a tightened security policy with the httpd_unified turned off, this requires explicit labeling of all files. If a file is a cgi script it needs to be labeled with httpd_TYPE_script_exec_t in order to be executed. If it is read-only content, it needs to be labeled httpd_TYPE_content_t, it is writable content. it needs to be labeled httpd_TYPE_script_rw_t or httpd_TYPE_script_ra_t. You can use the chcon command to change these contexts. Please refer to the man page "man httpd_selinux" or FAQ [URL] "TYPE" refers to one of "sys", "user" or "staff" or potentially other script types.
Allowing Access:
Changing the "httpd_unified" boolean to true will allow this access: "setsebool
-P httpd_unified=1"
Fix Command:
setsebool -P httpd_unified=1
I will write down how I did setup my server so maybe you can see a mistake I did. First I changed my Apache httpd.conf I added the following to it:
Code:
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.2:80
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.2:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html index.shtml index.php
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.2:80>
SuexecUserGroup ulyaoth ulyaoth
ServerAdmin webmaster@ulyaoth.org
ServerName test.ulyaoth.org
DocumentRoot /var/www/ulyaoth/www/html
ErrorLog /var/www/ulyaoth/logs/error_log
CustomLog /var/www/ulyaoth/logs/access_log common
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/ulyaoth/www/cgi-bin/
<Directory /var/www/ulyaoth/www/cgi-bin/>
AllowOverride none
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Options +execCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Then I created the username "ulyaoth" with the group "ulyaoth" as I specified with my suexec, then I created all the directories as specified in my httpd.conf and "chown ulyaoth:ulyaoth (dirname)" them to the right group and username.
I am looking for an application (better kde one) that can search two external hard disks I have and find any duplicate files. I did some backups before to one disk which i copied few years ago to the other disk. Right now I would like some program to check files and tell me if there are the same.
