I am trying to mount a .md file in CDlinux and getting errors. I want to mount a module file in CDlinux and when I type the following command mount - o loop -t base-cdl.md /mount/tmp (or any other directory name) I got the error mount: mount point mount/tmp does not exist.

when trying to mount a cramfs file using the standard way
mount -o loop -t cramfs [image_name] [mount_point]
I receive the following error:
cramfs: unsupported filesystem features
Does anybody have an idea of what goes wrong ?
by the way, here the output on the "file" command on the image file :
Linux Compressed ROM File System data, little endian size 7864320 version #2 [...]
Could it be due to the use of lzma instead of zlib?
I'm trying to run a persistent Debian distro on a USB thumbdrive, with the persistency data written in a mounted live-rw loopback file. However, the drive has to be formatted FAT32, and that poses a 2GB maximum limit on files, so I can't use the full 3GB space that is left on the drive after the Linux install. Can I make two loopback files and format/mount them as a single filesystem? If I can't I guess I'll have to repartition the drive, which I'd rather avoid.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUsing SUSE 11 with Gnome. I mounted a CIFS share from a Windows server as /mnt/win. With the file browser, I can browse to file system/mnt/win and then the files and folders of the Windows share come up fine and I can open them. When I use the file browser to browse to network, the server hosting this share is listed. Then I browse to that server and it lists no shares (nothing at all). I can't go any further than the server. Is there a separate authentication necessary for the file browser to see this share from the network place?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm just setting up a partition on a seperate HDD in my system. I plan to use the partition to backup the important files on my main HDD (to guard against HD crash).
The question I have is about where would be the typical location to auto mount this partition? Which would it be normal to go for:
1. /backup/
2. /media/backup/
3. /mnt/backup/
4. /home/chris/backup/
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).
I am trying to setup fstab to automatically mount my NTFS partitions. I have used various Mount managers to create the entries in fstab. The fstab seems fine, but when mounting at boot or even via Nautilus I get the error message that I do not have permission to mount the disk.
1) Can this permission be set in the fstab file? If so what is the syntax of the fstab entry?
2) If not, is there a tool i.e. GUI to set the mount permissions?
I'm not really sure this is the right category for this post...
I've been thinking and reading but I really don't find a solution, and this is why I decided to post here. I'm not a newbie using Linux but I know absolutely nothing about nfs and related stuff. If explanations are not clear/precise I'm sorry and absolutely open to explain myself better (I'm really desperate, at this point).
I'm running a Debian in a VirtualBox inside a RHEL5. To supply space to the virtual machine I'm trying to mount a disk (? maybe not?) that I created in the RHEL.
In RHEL: I created a directory /some/path/dir and I granted access to it from the VM (edit /etc/exports file and restart the nfs service)
In Debian: I created a directory to be used as mounting point (mkdir /other/nice/path/dir) and I tried to mount (mount -t nfs -v redhat:/some/path/dir /other/nice/path/dir). What happens next is the following:
mount.nfs: timeout set for Thu ...
mount.nfs: text-based options ...
mount.nfs: mount(2): Input/output error
mount.nfs: mount system call failed
Now, this Input/output error is too vague to trace where the problem is, but I really have no idea about how to go more in depth (are there logs somewhere? What should I look for? ... ...).
I have two internal hard drives.I just installed Debian Lenny in the smaller 80GB. But when I try to access the other hard drive it shows:
"Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume"
info:
-The 80GB is on dual boot with Windows 7 and Debian Lenny.
-The 500GB secondary hard drive is NTFS filesystem.
Is there any tool that mounts iso files and lets you view them as virtual drives? I already tried Gmount-iso, AcetoneISO, Furius ISO Mount and the custom command mount to mount my iso in a directory. All three tools failed to mount my iso and I don't understand why. Mounting using the command succeeded but inside the iso I have some files that I want to execute but are not marked as executables and therefore I cannot execute them.

Some of you might this is a stupid post but I have only started using Ubuntu a couple months ago and am loving it Hope some of you could tell me how to mount .iso files. I tried using Gmount and Furius ISO mount, even followed instructions on the internet but I still can't see the .iso images. It appears to be empty or unmounted.

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 posted about this previously, but I am unable to find that post...
I have a separate partition: 'files'.
This has the mount point of: '/files'.
My /home/johnathan folder is a symbolic link to:
/files/installed/backup/johnathan
So when this particular mount point '/files' is not available I get errors stating ICEAuthority and that /Desktop and /.nautilus can not be created.
If I log in as root, I can not mount the drive using System > Administration > Disk Utility
I get the error that '/files' can not be mounted because it is un use.
Sometimes, if I wait a while while logged in a root it will 'magically' mount and work again... then I can login as my profile.
I love Ubuntu that it keeps all of your settings and program settings within the profile. So, if I have to reformat or reinstall Ubuntu I simply recreate the symbolic link to /files/installed/backup/johnathan and all of my settings are back. All that is left is to reinstall my apps and I am back to where I was before reinstalling.
So, how can I correct this? I do have two other partitions that have mount points, but they do NOT do this like '/files' does.
I've even replaced the UUID in '/etc/fstab' with the path tot he partition: '/dev/sda2'. This also didn't work.
I've got a 250gig removable drive mounted on my Lucid 10.04. I'm having a problem deleting files. It starts by saying "Cannot move file to trash. Do you want to delete immediately". So I click Delete. Then I get "Error removing file: Input/output error"...and my files stay. This is the last grasp Windows has on my household :/ This is on my media machine and I'm converting it this weekend...but I'm trying to backup some stuff on this drive which is still on the old Windows partitioning and formatting. I just need to delete some larger files to make room for my new backups

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe've had a headless server running Ubuntu for a few weeks now and it's been fantastic - we've been able to access it from all of our computers and it's making life so much easier having one central box to put everything in. Until yesterday, where we noticed that some directories on the 1TB HDD were empty that were previously full of files. Restarted and the directories are gone, leaving only the root directories. Restarted again and Ubuntu doesn't even recognise the disk.
We have Ubuntu installed on a 250GB HDD with the 1TB hard drive mounted on (as?) /srv and all of the data is on there. Before Ubuntu stopped recognising the disk it would appear in Disk Utility saying that the file system was corrupted and that there was an issue with the superblock - I've found some ways of attempting to fix that but none are working now that Ubuntu isn't able to find the disk. I've checked the physical connections and they all appear to be working fine. I can hear/feel the hard disk spinning. Some users haven't backed up the files they put on the server so I'd prefer to try anything non-destructive first and save their work. I'm hoping that the HDD hasn't totally died... but now that Ubuntu can't see it I'm concerned that that might be the case.
I have always used the same programs to burn media in Ubuntu -- Brasero and DVD/CD creator. But after Natty install I get all the actions of burning media and then things hang at the last part with "Creating image Checksum" and the computer just goes into a loop forever increasing the time remaining. If I cancel and eject, the media is invalid. It won't mount and show files.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been playing around with stuff lately, and I was thinking that I could theoretically move my personal files to another partition, have it mount under /home/User... then change the system partition to 6 or 7GB and go about my merry way...That way, if I need to reinstall the os, or when the next release comes out, or even install another primary system, I could just wipe the system partition and keep all my data on the HD...just make an fstab entry like:
Code:
/dev/sda3 /home/User btrfs default 0 2
or something, and them BOOM! it's done. I am the master of my domain.

I'm having some trouble in trying to make a clean solution and tougher time searching to not get the basic mounting pages/posts. So I thought I'd throw this out hereFor Oracle, we have an app server that runs /sharedapps and is an NFS mount for all other app/db nodes. What I'm working on now is that on this app server that hosts/exports /sharedapps file system has a sub folder with a CIFS mount (/sharedapps/data/appmount). e thing is that the remote nodes with the NFS mount to /sharedapps don't see the remote data in /sharedapps/data/appmount, only the main app server that has the CIFS connection. Realistically it makes sense why, but I'm trying to research if there is a way to have it do so. This is where I'm struggling. We are working on this in a dev instance right now but soon to be in production. In production, there are many DB nodes that could process a request which is why it would be best to have the NFS connection follow the remote CIFS connection
