Ubuntu Networking :: NFS Mounts Cause A Hang On Reboot Of The Mounts Are Lost
Nov 24, 2010I have multiple ubuntu machines and I connect to one through an NFS share. I have done this for a few years without issue. However, since re-installing ubuntu and upgrading to 10.4 I have a problem with my system hanging when the remote shares are lost.
Basically, I can power down the machine downstairs, and my main machine then has a fit. I can not open any folders in ubuntu, nor can I shut down. If I try and shut down the system hangs, last time it hung for 8 hours before I had to kill the power.
These are the lines in my fstab
I don't know what I've done wrong, or how I can prevent this from hanging. I have googled the heck out of this as well and can't seem to find an answer either.
General :: Creating A Boot CD
Aug 9, 2010I can currently boot into a given Linux distro on my hard drive. Is there a generic way, for any given Linux distro, in which a boot CD can be created to boot that particular distribution to a login prompt ? The boot CD would need to bypass booting from the hard disk.
Before you say, use the installation CD ( or DVD ), I have repeatedly run into problems booting into a Linux distribution from the installation CD, for quite a number of distributions. These distributions have a so-called repair mode which quite often does not work, or has been gratuitously removed in some current release.
Before you can say, use SuperGrub ( or SuperGrub2 ), both have failed abysmally on my computer in a number of situations.
I am looking for a generalized cookbook solution for any given ( fairly modern/recent ) Linux distribution for creating such a boot CD for that distribution.
Searches on the Internet yield to me a bewildering series of conflicting info so I am asking here believing that there must be some surefire solution generic to Linux itself.
Fedora Servers :: Pre-boot Mounts Script
Mar 10, 2011I need to mount tmpfs partitions to /etc & /var and unpack archieves of this folders there. This task is complete working on Gentoo with monolite kernel & handmade initramfs script. But on fedora this method is like hacking. And not pretty for later upgrades, etc... I think, may be it is need to create script in /etc/init.d/ with high run priority. But this method takes many errors on boot. It is need to mount two tmpfs partitions to /etc/ & /var & unpack archieves. All this processes are to be executet after switching init from initramfs to realinit. But before first system processes try to start. How to complete this task with fedora way?

Jul 10, 2010Here is my entry in the fstab:
192.168.1.11:/mnt/array1/Our_NAS media/Our40NAS nfs auto,_ne
tdev,rw,hard,users,intr 0 0
Upon reboot, sometimes it would mount automatically and sometimes it would not. I have not discovered any specific pattern. It is very random. Sometimes it would go many reboots without mounting and on the next it would mount it. I tried putting timeo paramter, played with the parameters, but still have the same issue. My laptop is connected to a wireless network. When I do mount -a or if I go to Places everything mounts great. It just simply will not mount all the time automatically upon boot, and after wireless connection is established.
Ubuntu :: NFS Mounts Failing At Boot With DNS Errors
Jul 14, 2010I have several NFS entries in my /etc/fstab file. Each entry generates an error during boot (from /var/log/boot.log):mount.nfs: DNS resolution failed for macpro.dpc: Name or service not known mountall: mount /mnt/BaseLines [656] terminated with status 32
This occurs even if I specify an IP address in fstab rather than a host name. I was really surprised by that. The odd thing is that by the time the system is up, not only is DNS working as expected, but the NFS shares are mounted as expected. I'd just ignore it for now, accept that it prevents Apache from starting since some of the server's files live on the NFS shares (this is a development system). It appears that the DNS resolver isn't running when the mounts are attempted and that they are attempted again later, after the resolver is running.
I did an
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade....
General :: Creating An Image For PXE Boot
Jul 14, 2010Right direction regarding the creation of a bootable Linux Image for PXE booting. I've already consulted google and the other obvious sources I could think of, but it seems that PXE is mostly used to install stuff, which isn't quite what I need.
The goal here is to have a pool of computers that boot from a central source so maintenance is less of a hassle. Installation of the individual PCs is not desired and I'm supposed to provide a functional Linux via PXE booting.
What I need is basically a way to turn a working Linux into an image that can be booted via network. Or to recreate that Linux as an image that I can boot.

Sep 27, 2010I'd like to create a bootable USB drive containing a Linux minimalist: In fact I want to do is boot from the USB (compatible BIOS), as a minimalist Linux starts, and runs a file Shell, then at the end of this execution, displaying a root prompt (command line) to the execution of some commands summary.
- No GUI
- Network access required
- Minimal Linux system (the minimum necessary to boot and run a file Shell), with selection of preloaded commands (grep, pico, cat, ...)
I saw on the net that is doable with DOS on Windows, but nothing on Linux. So I need help, because everything I find is related to an existing system (Ubuntu, Debian, ...), I want a gold basis the most minimalist and lightweight as possible. What I presented is feasible or not? If yes, how to achieve it?

General :: Boot Windows Partition On Startup Or Creating A New MBR ?
Aug 2, 2010I have two hard drives in my desktop. One HD has a working Ubuntu system-hence the ability to post here- and the other contains Windows XP Pro. When the XP drive crashed I was able to re-install an image I had saved using Acronis. Unfortunately the dual-boot option at startup is no longer available. I can only boot to Ubuntu. Not so bad really but there are some programs on Windows that I need to use. Is there any way, using Grub perhaps, that I can reconfigure an MBR to include the second hard drive and the Windows system?

General :: Can't Chgrp In NFS4 Mounts
Jun 15, 2010I'm using Linux in a large multi-user network. Let A be some group which I'm am member of, but which is not my primary group. According to chmod(2) I should be able to chgrp a file to group A. Trying to do so succeeds on a local as well as on a NFSv3 mount, but not on a NFSv4/Kerberos mount (EPERM). Are there any special considerations regarding chgrp when using NFSv4 mounts?

Ubuntu Installation :: Boot Error - "mounts... Cannot Be Mounted"?
Feb 1, 2010I just reinstalled my windows partition from a backup image. Following that the Grub2 needed repair. That was accomplished and the grub2 menu along with the changes I made (to the grub screen) come up just fine. I can select my Windows 2K installation and it boots okay.when I select the "Linux 2.6.31-17-generic" the boot process appears to begin normally with the Ubuntu symbol shown, but at some point the screen goes blank and the boot process stalls. recovery mode gives me a jumbled up recovery menu. Alt-Ctrl-Delete gets me out of either.If I boot from the previous "Linux 2.6.31-14-generic", I�m receiving this error during boot-Quote:"One or more of the mounts listed in etc/fstab cannot be mounted"
There are subsequent screens that warn I'm running in "low graphics mode", but I can boot to a somewhat functional system. I was able to boot it once, but get the same results with either kernelThere is a difficult to read message in the jumble of the recovery menu.Quote:"One or more of the mounts listed in etc/fstab cannot be mounted. Swap: waiting for UUID=35b77xxxxxx"Any ideas? I'm not sure how to troubleshoot the problem, or what steps to take to resolve it.

General :: Change Permissions And Ownership For NTFS Mounts?
Apr 19, 2011I finally replaced my Windows with Linux.. However, I need to run applications and modify files that are on NTFS mounts. I am unable to change ownership, permissions, and groups on these files so I may modify them without having to copy. I have several times attempted to chmod, chgrp, chown, etc.. while logged-in as root user; however it is to no avail. The owner and permissions are still geared towards root. can I change ownership and permissions on NTFS files so I can modify them without having to convert/copy them over to ext4 or different file system?- Matbtw: I am using OpenSuse 11.4 and running Windows apps with VirtualBox (with Vista installation image). I still have Win7 on my computer (non-emulated) and I would like to keep some files on those NTFS partitions so when I occasionally need to boot into Win7 I can modify those files because Windows blows and doesn't support Linux.

Jul 17, 2011My laptop now has 8GB of memory, so I think mounting a tmpfs over /tmp is a reasonable thing to do. I also want to prepare for getting a SSD in the near future.The computer has a 1GB swap partition and I've set vm.swappiness=20
1) There is also a tmpfs mounted to /dev/shm. Both have the default size of 50%. Is there a way to get /dev/shm and /tmp to share the same capacity without doing a symlink or bind?
2) Is the swap partition a good size (is that swappiness value ok)? What happens if /tmp runs out of room? Should I increase the swap size to something really large like 15G (because I have swappiness so low...)?

General :: Laptop Server Goes To Sleep And Will Not Stay Awake?
Oct 19, 2010I have an old Acer laptop that I am trying to use as a server for Vortexbox (Fedora distro that turns computer into a media server for use with DLNAh Squeezeboxes).Randomly the laptop will go into standby mode and I cannot figure out why. It's very annoying since when the laptop goes to standby the server goes down and all my boxes disconnect. Everything reconnects when I simply press a key on the laptop and it wakes up and the screen turns back on.Here's what I've tried:I've tried checking the BIOS for power management settings and there are none.
I think my CMOS battery is fried since the time keeps drifting. I tried to replace it but could not get to the battery (either through the keyboard or the back of the laptop) so I put in a cron.hourly script that would fix the time every hour and it's keeping things on point in terms of the time but the sleep issues are still there (of note the script does not run when the laptop is sleeping). This is my first script eveo I'm a big newbie...The laptop battery is nonfunctional (I leave it plugged in all the time anyway). Not sure if that has anything to do with it.I installed FreeNX and NoMachine for remote desktop to Gnome. When I have a remote desktop session open on another computer it SEEMS to last longer between sleeping.I tried reading about ACPI and sleepstates and I'm totally lost. I downloaded some thing called ACPItool and ran it to get the following output:
[vortexbox.localdomain ~]# acpitool -e
Kernel version : 2.6.30.10-105.220090320 - ACPI version : 20090320
