General :: Script - Hook Into System Mount / Umount Event?
Mar 27, 2010Is there a way to provide post-mount and pre-umount scripts in Linux?
I am trying to do some scripts on storage media when mounted and before umounting (eg, for syncing).

General :: Simple Way To Umount NFS Mount In System?
Oct 25, 2010I've mounted a share using standard nomenclature for the NFS mount command with the following command line:
mount -t nfs -o rw {IP address1}:/ /mnt_for_70 / {IP address2}(rw)
mnt_for_70 is a mount point I created on {IP address2}
I'm confuse and want to be sure I use the correct command on the correct host to correctly umount the nfs share.
Would I execute umount /mnt_for_70 on {IP address2}
Not sure if such a simple command will work. As this is a semi-production host pair, I hesitate to just umount so simply & I have no test systems to try this on...
General :: Mount And Umount As User Without Fstab?
Jul 19, 2011I am writing this software that creates virtual block device nodes almost like loop does. I need to allow non-superusers to mount and umount filesystems from these devices. I don't know the names of the block device nodes beforehand so i can't use fstab entries to add "user" or "owner" flags there.
Currently i solve this by providing a small suid helper tool that verifies that this is indeed "my" block device the user is trying to mount and then just call /sbin/mount or /sbin/umount to do the job. This is definitely better than setting a suid bit for the whole program but not really perfect.

Debian Configuration :: Can't Umount Ramdisk After Loading New Root File System
Feb 1, 2010I have built a kernel with a ramdisk(ramdisk.image.gz) included. Also in the kernel command line I specified root=/dev/ram0. I am trying to use this ramdisk to load a loopback file as the root filesystem off a fat partition. This is /sbin/init from the ramdisk.
#!/bin/sh
mount -n -t msdos /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
losetup /dev/loop0 /mnt/linux/linuxdsk.img
mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /mnt2
[Code]....
The problem is both umount and blockdev report "device is busy". I want to free up this RAM any suggestions?
OpenSUSE :: Dolphin Services - Get Mount / Umount Option Under Right Click Services Menu
Dec 7, 2010So I want to get mount/umount option under right click services menu. I went to Dolphin -> Settings -> Configure Dolphin -> Services -> Download New Services and from there I installed KDE CDEmu Emulator and MountISO. But neither of them is showing up in actual context menu. Neither in Dolphin -> Settings -> Configure Dolphin -> Services for that matter. I tried to install them as normal user and as a root. I went to have a peak in /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ but they aren't there as well... It's just me or lots of things seems to be not quite working in 11.3?

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Mplayer - How To Hook To The File Tool And Firefox
Mar 23, 2011Two tries at building mplayer. First time failed with no sound, second time worked fine - NO CHANGES that I know of, BUT OK - it works nicely.So if I click on a file in the Linux (fedora 14) file browser, I see using "Mplayer Media Player" as a second option, It does nothing, nor does it do anything from the Application tool menu. I do not know where the "I am doing nothing (and here is why)" error message is logged.
I can manually run mplayer or xmplayer on the .wmv file and it works.How do I edit the menus (control files?) and have them use the newly installed and working mplayer (or xmplayer??).Next, it would be nice to make mplayer the default tool to play videos in Firefox (the default for both is another tool (Movie player) which needs a plugin that I cannot find to work).And finally, if I can get one or both of these working - it would be nice to set the default to the new player instead of "Movie player".
General :: Get A Mouse Event To Cause Keystroke?
Mar 14, 2010I have a Logitech Media Play mouse with many buttons. I'm using xbindkeys to create some shortcuts to programs e.g. firefox, gnome-terminal--these work wonderful. What I cannot figure out is how to get the buttons to work for the media player(Ubuntu>System>Keyboard Shortcuts>Sound). I set shortcuts using my win key and letters, hoping to use xbindkeys to send out a keystroke. I have tried to use xmacro but to no avail. xdotool was not helpful, I think it may be outdated(desktop/workspace functions did not work).
My preferred option would be to get mouse events to keystrokes working with xbindkeys and program x(x being whatever works); however, just getting my media buttons to interact with the media play is my ultimate goal.

Apr 29, 2010I've tried to get an opensuse box I have to share a directory via NFS. I've failed each time, but I thought that the third time, I'd enlist some help from the forums, if I could. how do I know that the nfs server and not the client is the problem? Short answer is: I don't! That's why nfs (and many netwrk problems) are laborious, you're troubleshooting needs to take place at both source and desitination. Next question, what do I have set up so far? Well, I did download the nfs server kernel stuff (two months back) and /etc/init.d/nfsserver start seems to get set up OK. No errors and the daemons nfsd, idmapd, mountd area all running. So, I *think* that part is OK. I have the share set up properly in /etc/exportfs and have "exportfs -r" it.
OK, now onto the trickier stuff: the client and iptables. On the client pinging to the nfserver box is perfect, and I have rpcbind running. the reported error is "mount.nfs: mount system call failed" though from experience nfs errors don't mean a whole lot.However, I will go off and check now and see if I need a mountd running on client-side too.Then there's iptables .... ouch, that could be a long and painful trek. I don't see any specific ports being blocked, and it's the iptables that the default v11.2 opensuse came with. I did turn them off and the problem was the same, so whether wishfl thinking or not, I'm hoping it's not an iptables issue.
