General :: Unable To Mount Seagate 1Tb Usb Expansion Drive

Dec 21, 2010

I plugged in a seagate expansion drive 1Tb into my linux server for backup purposes but it is unable to mount it. I can see the expansion drive in My computer but when I click on it, it says unable to mount, device already mounted or busy. Windows can read the hard disk with no problems. It is ntfs formatted. I installed ntfs kernel and fuse. Ntfs is displayed when I run cat /proc/filesystems. However it just can't mount the expansion drive.

General :: Mount External USB Drive In Debian To A Mount Point Based On The Volume Name

May 5, 2011

How do I configure my Debian installation to mount external USB drives to mount points based on the volume names of the drives? For instance, if I have a thumb drive with the volume name of "SWORDFISH," how do I have Linux mount it at /media/SWORDFISH? I'm aware that this can be setup in FSTAB, but that requires that I know the UUID of the device beforehand and that I take the time to set each external device up in FSTAB first. That does nothing for me when I have a thumb drive that has never been plugged into my computer before.

This seems to be setup by default in Ubuntu/Kubuntu, but is not working for me with a fresh installation of Debian Squeeze and KDE4. I've spent the past 2 hours Googling for a solution and have turned up nothing. UPDATE: My results are inconsistent. Sometimes Debian mounts devices to mount points based on the volume names, and other times it gives them generic mount points (e.g. /media/usb1).

Ubuntu :: Expansion Drive Disconnecting - Error: Mount Exited With Exit Code 13: $MFTMirr Does Not Match $MFT (record 0)

Jun 1, 2010

I slipped on my expansion drive cable and it disconnected quickly, when I reconnected I got this error: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0). Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details.

CentOS 5 :: Df Not Showing Disk Space After Logical Volume Expansion / Fix It?

Jun 5, 2009

I've added a new LUN to my Centos 5.2 server using Powerpath and have added it to an ext3 logical volume. I extended the logical volume using lvextend and the new space shows up correctly in lvdisplay. What I'm having problems with is getting Centos to see the new disk space (df -h shows 500GB, not 600GB as expected). I've tried running a resize2fs on the new volume but it tells me that "the filesystem is already n blocks long. Nothing to do". Does any one know where I'm going wrong? If possible I'd like to sort this without a reboot.

Ubuntu :: Unable To Mount Volume - Drive Not Found

Feb 18, 2010

I am not well versed in using Ubuntu. I was using Win XP Pro SP3 on my old machine. I decided to make the move to Ubuntu. No problem since all files on the primary drive of the old machine were just OS related. I kept all of the important stuff (music, documents, reg codes, etc.) The computer had no problem importing the songs on the external drive to the music library. I am playing songs and loving it. Now the problem... when I am starting with ubuntu I don't find the drive and I can't mount it.

I get a box stating:
You are not privileged to mount this volume
DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Server :: Can't Write To Seagate Blackarmor NAS Through CIFS Mount

Jun 25, 2010

I've got a Seagate Blackarmor NAS which I can mount with CIFS to my Centos 5 server fine but only root can read and write to it. All other users can only read. I've tried several different mount options but results are always the same.

Specific issue: I'm trying to connect the the NAS so Bacula, a backup app, can write backups to it. "bacula" is set up as a user on the NAS. BTW, I'm pretty sure the OS on the NAS is Linux, and I can connect through windows and write fine.

Hardware :: Cannot See Seagate FreeAgent Drive

May 31, 2010

I've searched around and found a lot of reports of people's FreeAgent drives randomly spinning down (and what to do about it), or for people who can see the drive but can't mount it. I have a different problem: I can't see the drive at all. I plug it in, andit makes a beeping noise for a while (think 'Defcon 4', but not as loud). Then, it stops, but nothing's happened. fdisk -l just shows my normal 4 partitions.I'm running Ubuntu (Karmic), and this is a 500 GB FreeAgent GO drive from Seagate (brand new, right out-of-the-box).

Debian :: Get To Install On External USB 1.5TB Seagate HDD Drive?

Jan 20, 2011

Alright, im completely new to linux. I am somewhat knowledgeable with computers in general. My programming instructor for school told us that it would be in our best interest of the course to grab a linux distro and install it on our computers. (Don't ask me why, i dont know)ANYWAY, i am trying to get debian to install on my external USB 1.5TB Seagate HDD Drive. After learning a lot about Murphy's Law, i had to fix my MBR for windows (the windows installation is located on my internal SATA 1.5TB Seagate Drive) because GRUB wouldnt boot to windows unless i had my external plugged in.

So, the natural solution to me was to fix the MBR, unplug the internal, then re-install on my external, it worked. Well to my surprise, this cloud i was on... wasn't cloud 9. NOW, Debian will boot if i have the external plugged in and windows will boot if i have the internal plugged in. The Problem is, when i have both plugged in and my external set as the boot drive i get this weird error and it will not let me boot linux.Now, i have searched for a fix.. But the ones i have tried so far haven't worked or i wasn't sure how to use those fixes(because im new).The error went as follows:/bin/sh can't access tty; job control mode offthen i get a initramfs command line. (I think thats proper terminology)The temporary fix i have going right now is i have my computer open and the SATA cable unplugged so i can boot to Debian.

Hardware :: Getting A Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB Drive For HTPC?

Apr 5, 2010

I'm looking at getting a Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB drive for my HTPC. However I was initially looking at the WD Cavier Green due to it's power saving features. Upon finding out about the Green's problems interacting with the Linux Kernel I have ditched the idea of getting a WD.

Does the Barracuda suffer from similar problems as the Cavier Green.Are there any problems at all with the drive and the kernel not playing nice together? Do I need to set anything in the kernel config to help enable power saving features of the drive so that when the PC is not in use the drive uses as little power as possible?

Fedora :: Seagate USB Drive Not Mounting With User Rw Access?

Jun 25, 2010

by default fedora 13 mounts the drive under /media/uuid, with no read or write access to users other than root. I need to be able to turn the drive on, have it automount so that I can read and write to it without logging in as root every time and dealing with changing permissions on files, etc.

In other distributions, this has worked flawlessly, but I'm not familiar enough with Fedora 13 yet to get it working. I've read the man pages, tried to search, but I can't seem to find a working answer,If I could get this one little inconvenience fixed, I'd be set... loving Fedora so far.

Ubuntu :: GRUB After Seagate FreeAgent Drive Was Used - PC Restart Itself

Mar 1, 2010

I have a dual boot PC with Windows Vista and Ubuntu 9.1. The problem did start with Ubuntu 9.04. I think the problem started around the same time I added a Seagate FreeAgent USB hard drive for backups. The GRUB OS list will come up after the PC boots. I can select Vista and it will start w/o a problem. If I try to boot to Ubuntu the PC will restart itself. It may try and start Ubuntu MANY times until it eventually gets started. I have tried to repair the problem with no results so far. I have tried it with and without the Seagate device attached.

Fedora Hardware :: Seagate External Hard Drive Unmountable

Mar 31, 2011

I have been a Linux user for about 6 years now, and recently switched to Fedora just to try something new. I used Ubuntu for the majority of the time so I am somewhat familiar with the command line, but seem to be having trouble with my external HDD. Ubuntu automounted it no problem. Fedora doesn't seem to like to do that. I tried searching and I did what almost every thread insisted upon; which is mount /dev/sdb(that is what dmesg said) but it says already mounted or /mnt/busy. So this is the extent of my Terminal experience with mounting an external drive, and I am completely dumbfounded as to why it simply won't mount. I am liking Fedora so far and so long as there is a remedy for this I don't plan on going back.

Hardware :: Adaptec 39160 Scsi Fails To Detect Seagate Drive

Dec 4, 2010

just bought an adaptec 39160 PCI scsi controller and 34Gb drive and installed it on my computer.When i Booted it up a utility thing ran which said 'detecting array' and it found the drive and its size etc. it didn't go any further to allow my system to boot, so I rebooted and pressed CTRL + A to enter the adaptec scsi config. I changed something in there to make the disk non bootable (i Think) and rebooted the system.

It now hangs at :

'Detecting Array .....'

and does not show the drive details or the CTRL + A option to enter the utilities. So the only option I have had is to remove the adaptec controller ( and the system boots fine) the mother board is an Abit an8 ultra - probably about 4 years old and cpu is amd 64 I guess i have broken it and my remedy would be to reset the default options on the adaptec controller, but you can probably guess I have v. limited knowledge and have not used scsi before.

General :: Drive Don't Recognize DVD's / Resolve This?

Aug 1, 2011

Using Ubuntu 10.10, and a Aopen CD/DVD Drive, that when purchased it was suppose to read and write to everything. But my system will not recognize blank DVD-R or RW.
Everything works on the CD's writing/reading. I can play DVD movies, but thats it.

After many searches I found these posts and checked them out without any problem:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...light=DVD+disk

DVD Writer not detecting DVD-Rs
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...&pp=50&page=12

I followed the Medibuntu instructions on http://www.medibuntu.org/
and that did not help either.

I purchased four different purchases of DVDs to make sure the problem was not the disks. I had that happen to me a few time with CDs.

I do not get any errors of any kind. The drive light goes on and off like it should.

General :: Mount Part Of A Dd Image As A Truecrypt Volume

I have a dd image of a full drive (as a file) that was using Truecrypt system encryption under windows. I want to mount the main partition from that image using Linux's Truecrypt. I am familiar with dd loopback devices and have the partition offset, but I don't know how I can mount it like this because I need to use the truecrypt command.

Is there perhaps some way to create a fake device file for the disk image that I can mount from within Truecrypt?
