Hardware :: Disk Not Mounting At Boot?
Nov 26, 2010
We have recently added new HP raid controller into our server and configured 2 logical drives on it. First is for Oracle database, second has 1 partition with ext3 filesystem on it. We added an entry into /etc/fstab, so the second LD with the ext3 partition can be mounted on boot time. But the boot process crashes on mounting this filesystem with error message:
Mount failed
Device /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 does not exist.
and we are asked to log into rescue console. But when we log in and run mount �a command, the filesystem gets mounted, so it looks like fstab entry is correct, but the device does not exist. How is this possible?
Our root filesystem is on Adaptec raid controllers logical drive. The LD has 2 other partitions, that are mounted on boot time. Mounting these partitions on boot time works without trouble. Adaptec controller nor the HP arent reporting any errors.
How it is possible that on mount time the /dev entries for logical drives on HP raid controller do not exist, but for Adaptec raid controller they do exist? And how to repair this problem?
We are running on RHEL 4 x64, kernel 2.6.9-34.ELsmp x64

Just the last day or so, I've noticed a long pause when I boot my laptop, with lots of disk activity. dmesg says:
[Code]...
Why would there be a 15-second pause (during which the disk is slammed) between mounting root and mounting swap? During this time I see nothing but a blank purple screen, there are no cycling dots or text scroll. Is this normal and I'm just freaking out over nothing because there's no indicator of progress? GRUB default boot options: quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1920x1200-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap vt.handoff=7

I have a music server running on Ubuntu10.04.
The mainboard is a Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P [URL].
Problem #1: Approx. four out of five times my dvd-rw is not available to the system. If I wish to burn a cdrom, the computer has to be restarted three or four times before the dvd-rw is available. But then it always works without a flaw.
Problem #2: This morning after booting, the system started and displayed a message: "Disk sdf is not ready for mounting, press S to skip or M to fix the problem" I pressed M and edited /etc/fstab, then continued to start-up. Then I started Disk Utility. The harddisk sdf is clearly visible: it's a Samsung HD642JJ and according to three different Smart tests the disk is healthy. But the harddisk is completely absent in the rest of the system. The blkid command does not report sdf, and 'fdisk -l' does not print anything about sdf.
As far as I have been able to test the hardware is healthy. All connections are in good condition, there are no loose connectors. So after thinking about these problems I have a suspicion towards hald and/or the enumerator. I have attached the dmesg output.

I booted my laptop from the FC 13 Live CD.I'd like to mount the local disk while booted from the Live CD.In older versions of Linux, this used to be as simple as "mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/whatever".But, no longer Progress. When I do "fdisk -l /dev/sda", while booted from the FC13 Live CD, the /dev/sda2 partition shows up as "Linux LVM". My question: how can I mount the partition containing home directories from the "Linux LVM" partition?

I thought I'd format my new 2tb drive to ext4, so did that, created a mount point, chown'd it, edited fstab, and now it gives me this:
Code:
neur0m4ncer@box:~$ sudo mount -a
mount: special device /dev/sde1 does not exist

how to mount a spanned ntfs volume in ubuntu? I have a partition spanned across 5 drives. From the documentation it looks like it should be possible but I cant figure it out. I have ubuntu 9.4 but I will change to what ever version it will work on. The five 1500gb drive below are the ones I want to use. I tried to use ldminfo but I get the below error.
Quote:
veli@aaaa:~/Desktop/linux-ldm-0.0.8/test$ sudo ./ldminfo /dev/sdb

It all started when I attempted (and did) reformat my 2nd hdd in the computer. I was able to finally combine all the partitions into one after moving the data to an external drive. But, I could then not write to that drive?
So, I visited the fstab file, and set that drive to be readable by everyone... When I re-booted, now my primary disk will not load the GUI of Ubuntu 9.10, but puts up a screen with a white terminal in the upper left.
Running sudo mount -a tells me that the partition is not being loaded, maybe it's an entire disk or a different partition?
I changed nothing in the file about the primary HDD, so don't know how that came to be... suddenly the HD2 not being writeable is NOT the major problem...
What I have is:
The drive (HD1) is sda2, and that is what is not loading. I copied the contents of fstab, but when I opened firefox from the terminal, it erased it from the clipboard... I'll have to write it down and type it into this thread... any ideas on what the designation should be for sda2?

Recently I had installed "Storage Device Manager", since because my hard drive partitions were not mounted correctly during installation.
I own to hard disk "sda" 120 GB & "sdb" 1000 GB , since during boot time i had mounted the "sda" having 3 partitions of windows on locations "/partion_name 1, 2, & 3" at root, and "sdb" was not mounted during instalation.
After installation I had added "sdb" with my system and was working fine.
But "sba" was mounted at "/partion_name 1, 2, & 3", But I wanted to change this type of partion what "sdb" i.e it should prompt me for the password when I use to mount it, So I tried to change the mount type for the "sba" But wasn't able to do this beacause of error "Disk is been used by other process".
Now what i require is to mount "sda" partitions such as It may prompt for password when I try to mount and in "sdb1" having partions "sdb10" to be mounted automatically during boot time and the rest partions have to be prompted for password when I try to mount it.Is it possible..?
*Please suggest me the whole procedure in manual manner(Command line) for the same
*Also using "Storage Device Manager"
*if I remove "Storage Device Manager" in future thus it effct my system partitions
*If I mount the partition in "/media/partion_name" thus it will solve my problem.

I want to mount a 'super floppy' which is listed in the disk utility as /dev/sdb.
I am unsure of the sequence here. Should I first mount: mount /mnt/floppy ...or something similar And next edit the /etc/fstab file....or is this step not necessary.
Finally, this is vfat formatted. Should I try to reformat it in ext or leave it as is?

I have an annoying problem with the Gnome disk utility. Whenever I want to mount a file system it is mounted as a removable disk in /media. For instance if I want to mount a raid array /dev/md0 to a mountpoint /music it is mounted as /media/music. That's not how I want it, I want it to be mounted to the desired mountpoint which is located directly on the root.

My DVD drive start working bad recently in KDE 4.4.3 - openSUSE Forums , but this is another very annoying thing happening in my openSUSE box. I have several flash drives, from several sizes and all have the same problem: When I plug them, the drive simply takes a LOT of time mounting and showing the data, but really, a LOT, and meanwhile the flash light blinks the desktop environment its FREEZE, until it shows the mounted drive. Some output from a recently plug that takes again a lot of time:
Code:

I downloaded an raw SD card image that has two partitions. It caused some file system errors when I tried to dd it directly into an SD card. I am not sure if the card is defective or the image. Is there a way to examine this image without writing it to a physical card? Like trying to mount the partitions separately or checking the tables?

I have a machine running Ubuntu 10.04. I have a VPS (virtual private server) also running Ubuntu Linux. The VPS has a dedicated IP.
I want to have a setup, so that the directories on the VPS are accessible on my HOME PC like a mounted drive.
That is I should be able to do things like edit files on the VPS and copy/move files from/to my home PC to the VPS, as if the VPS was mounted on my box.

I've got a removeable disk which I want to mount on startup automatically at mountpoint "/backupsystem". If' it's not there I would like to have no error message. Actually after upgrading to 10.4 I get the message: Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.". But I don't wand this if the disk is not there that's OK for me. How would I configure fstab to achieve this?

I'm running Kubuntu Karmic on my Dell Inspiron laptop - about 200 bug fixes behind because my only available internet is a cellular connection on a crappy wi-fi router - and last night, I suspended it, but it shut down instead. Not a problem, it does this fairly often, figure the RAM gets jostled or something.
But when I go to boot it up, it gets stuck at the pre-loading screen before getting garbled and dropping to the shell, where it says "mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/[insert hex code here] failed: invalid argument". Of course, mounting /root/sys, /root/dev and /root/proc fails, (directory does not exist) and it gives me the busybox initramfs prompt.

my Fedora 11 system is not starting anylonger. It stops with the message:
Code:
VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem on dev dm-0
The system told me since a while, that a lot of the sectors of one disk of the (software) RAID compound are failed already. So tried to disconnect each of the disks and start them separately. Unfortunaltly this is not working (for one its is not working at all, the other wents the same far as with both), when I tried to recover the system with the Fedora DVD, it said no distribution found. I am quite new and do not know so much about linux system, so i do not know what further information you could need. Maybe it can be important, that both disks are encryped (the system wents so far, that I can type in the password).

I installed Debian on my PC with a Acer Stock motherboard (xc600) with amd64 and after the installation finished it told me to remove my installation media and reboot. After reboot I was returned this message ' ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed.'. I have verified with gparted using mint live OS that I have Debian installed on my system.
I got believes that this may have be caused by a broken grub or I need to configure something I don't know how in BIOS.
I will update the topic later..
My installation media was a USB 2.0 flashdrive with a Debian 8.2 Jessie Installer and 9 different Linux distros. I have installed Debian multiple times before on my laptop and never had this problem so I know how to go through the installation process and set the partitions.

I have a (slightly complicated) dual/multi boot system.
I keep getting boot errors (when choosing ubuntu from the grub2 menu)
Code:
Serious errors were found while checking the disk drive for /boot
If I switch off and restart, ubuntu will then start without issue.
My setup is like this ....3 disks, one with 10.10 clean install - so Grub2, separate partitions for /, /boot and /home, one with windows 7, one with windows XP and 10.04 wubi (this is my old disk which I will trash once I'm happy with my upgrade to 10.10 & 7 on separate disks.
I installed 7 and 10.10 with ONLY their disks installed. After both were working, I added all disks and rejigged the grub2 menu (using update-grub and StartUp-Manager).
This problem only seems to occur if my previous boot was not 10.10 ( I will investigate this further). It's as if something (grub2 ?, the bios ?) is remembering part of the previous boot and not using the grub2 menu completely.

I'm very new to linux and running debian 4.0. On boot got an error:
I did a ghost image of drive before I do any more damage and when performing the ghost, ghost stated I need to run fsck. I created the image and noticed that a lot of folders were missing (bin, boot and others).
1. How do I run check disk from an boot disk?
2. Is there something else I should consider?

I was trying to change the mounting point of a usb external drive from '/media/disk' to '/media/Movies'
Here is were the stupid part takes over... I right clicked on the desktop icon for the device and selected Properties. From there I selected the Volume tab and in there I changed the mounting point to '/media/Movies' It accepted it and said the changed would take place when I unmounted it and remounted it. However, when I did this it now says it cannot be mounted as it says mount_point contains invalid characters usually /
Unfortunately, now I cannot get back into the properties to remove my error.

I've got a semi-retired hdd (with a few bad sectors my disk utility tells me) formatted in ext4 that can be mounted onto the Desktop after boot provided root password is offered first. I thought it would be straight forward to mount it at boot with something in etc/fstab like :
Code:
/dev/sdb /home/Jo/Desktop ext4
But this doesn't work, is there a glaring error here ?
Various threads suggest permission restrictions could be the cause but i have had no success with them

I've googled this issue ad nauseum but alas my poor PC is still quiet as a church mouse.I was prompted to upgrade to 10.04 and, despite knowing better by now (I seem to file a severe bug report following each upgrade), I chose to allow the upgrade to move forward due to a driver problem I thought might be fixed in the new version.The upgrade took over 9 hours but did complete and I rebooted afterwards. I never got my PC back, it's stuck during bootup on "mounting none on /dev failed".
Be cautious with advice. There is no menu.lst any more, this is Grub2.I have booted off of the Live CD and run the grub-install and mkconfig. I have edited grub to try different menu options by default. Each time, grub builds with 2 different kernels listed, neither of which are correct.

I've been noticing that my ubuntu 10.04 takes too long to boot lately, and now that I've upgraded to 10.10 and had the same issue, I took few minutes to investigate. from what I understand from the log files, it looks like my hard drive takes too long to mount, actually 40+ seconds to mount...
below is the section I mentioned above from my messages log:
Code:
Oct 22 08:43:22 ubuntu kernel: [ 2.076608] EXT4-fs (sda5): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
