Hardware :: Mounting Hard Drives

Mar 21, 2009

I know this is an easy task, especially using cPanel. However I want to do this without formatting the drive, since there is sensitive data already on the hard drives. So how would I mount a hard drive, but not format/lose any of the data already on it?I've looked and everything seems to lead me to believe that I'll lose data if I do it that way.

Fedora :: Auto Mounting Hard Drives?

Aug 10, 2009

I have a fresh installation of Fedora 11 and I am having a hard time figuring out how to automount my storage drives. Each time I login, I try to access my various storage drives and gnome makes me authenticate asroot before mounting it. FSTAB lists only logical volumes but not my storage drives. What can I do to make sure these automount when I login?

OpenSUSE :: Mounting Hard Drives As User?

Aug 4, 2010

OpenSuse 11.2 64bit When I select a hard drive in Dolphin file manager it asks for the root password. I would like to gain easier access to the drives. The Yast Partition Manager lists all of the drives and has a dialog box to change this i.e. user can mount the drive. Can we change this feature on the run, while the system is running ? The Fstab file is not listing all of the drives, so I cannot just edit the config here.

Hardware :: Mounting Hard Drives With Partitions

Dec 27, 2009

I've been struggling with this one for a while - I have three SATA hard drives installed on my system:
/dev/sda - an 80 GB disk with three partitions, one NTFS for WinXP, one ext4 for Fedora 11 x86_64, and a boot partition
/dev/sdb - a 250 GB disk with one partition, ext4
/dev/sdc - a 250 GB disk with one partition, ntfs

I can mount any partition on /dev/sda without problems - everything works exactly as expected. Attempting to mount a partition from one of the other disks results in something like the following (this is for sdc1):

Code:
[User@machine ~]$ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /mnt/shared
[sudo] password for User:
ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sdc1': No such file or directory

Ubuntu :: /var/log Files Are Huge; Mounting Large Hard Drives?

Oct 9, 2010

syslog, messages and kern.log are incredibly huge files that are taking up a lot of space on my hard drive. Is it safe to remove them and/or to reduce logging so it doesn't take such an enormous amount of hard disk memory? If so, how can I reduce the logging so it doesn't produce logs that are 10s of GB in size?Also, mounting a drive places it into the folder /media. Will it become problematic if the size of the mounted drive exceeds the amount of free space available on my Ubuntu partition?

Fedora :: Prevent Mounting Of External Drives & CD / DVD Drives

I suspect this is not new but I just can't find where it was treated. Maybe someone can give me a good lead.I just want to prevent certain users from accessing CD/DVD drives and all external drives. They should be able to mount their home directories and move around within the OS but they shouldn't be able to move data away from the PC. Any Clues?

Server :: 2 Separate External Hard Drives With ESata To Minimize An Electrical Failure To The Drives?

Mar 26, 2011

I am building a home server that will host a multitude of files; from mp3s to ebooks to FEA software and files. I don't know if RAID is the right thing for me. This server will have all the files that I have accumulated over the years and if the drive fails than I will be S.O.L. I have seen discussions where someone has RAID 1 setup but they don't have their drives internally (to the case), they bought 2 separate external hard drives with eSata to minimize an electrical failure to the drives. (I guess this is a good idea)I have also read about having one drive then using a second to rsync data every week. I planned on purchasing 2 enterprise hard drives of 500 MB to 1 GB but I don't have any experience with how I should handle my data

General :: Hard Drive Malfunctions When Other Hard Drives Are Connected?

Aug 23, 2010

I have a SATA drive that worked fine. Then I installed two more hard drives into my system. When these hard drives are installed, if I try to access the SATA drive in Linux, it will start lightly clicking and then the drive will become unavailable. If I power on the machine without the other two hard drives then it works fine. What could be causing this to happen? I don't think it's heat because the two hard drives are far away from the SATA drive.

Fedora :: USB Drives No Longer Auto Mounting?

Sep 16, 2010

I know this problem was mentioned here before but because I could not find a straight forward solution anywhere I am reposting this here. So here goes.As of today, my Fedora 13 64-bit has ceased to auto-mount USB drives completely. I have made absolutely no changes to the system and I am completely baffled and frustrated by this sudden development. I desperately need this system to function properly as I use it for school and this really put a wrench in my works, especially since I have done nothing to cause this. I assume that one of the many recent updates that have been released must have done this, but I have absolutely no idea how to fix this. Why do Fedora developers release updates that cripple a perfectly functioning system is beyond me and crap like this really makes me consider switching back to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu :: Mounting Ext4 Drives/partitions In 6.06?

Apr 5, 2010

I just recently found an iso for 6.06 and installed it on an old pc of mine that already had 8.04 and crunchbang on it. crunchbang is on an ext4 formatted partition.

When I setup 6.06, it asked me what i wanted to mount my drives as, so i told it to mount the ext4 system as hda1.

whenever 6.06 boots, it tries to mount hda1 but can't because it doesn't recognize ext4.

What I am asking is this: is there a deb or a package out there I can install to make 6.06 recognize ext4? if not, how can i make it so that 6.06 does not want to mount hda1?

I can get past the initial error message and into the desktop, so 6.06 does work.

Fedora :: Mounting External Drives Using Lshw Info?

Sep 7, 2009

After a bit of searching, I haven't found a discussion on how to mount an external device using hardware attributes, though I am almost certain I have seen discussions on this in the past. The objective is to consistently mount an external USB drive at the same mount point regardless of the order in which a user attaches other external USB drives. For instance, if I run lshw, I can find harware properties of the device:

Code:

*-usb:1
description: Mass storage device
...
physical id: 6

[code]...

I'd like to identify this device by the serial number and mount to a pre-defined mount point (e.g. /mnt/extUSB). I can write a script involving lshw,dmesg, and mount but I vaguely recall a more clean/ preferred method.

Ubuntu :: Mounting Windows Drives With Different Filenames When Boot

Debian :: Mounting External Drives - Unexpected Inconsistency

Jan 28, 2010

This question is an extension of previous posts in relation to my removable drives. I have an external usb/ide drives and cowon iAduio7 music player. The former is always connected and latter occasionally. The first drive to be recognized gets allocated /dev/sdc1 and /dev/hdd respectively. Until ten days ago I would simply mount them manually after each boot. Recently I added them to my fstab file. It's fine only for this error message on boot.

Code:
/dev/sdc1 unexpected inconsistency.
fsck died with exit status 4
failed (code 4)
Control-D to continue

I found the following on the net
Code:
If a device is not being mounted during boot, it may be b/c the driver for that device has not been loaded yet at the time that /etc/fstab is read (and thus the device is not active yet and doesn't get mounted). If you want to make sure it gets mounted during boot, you may need to take a look at the boot sequence for your distro and make changes as needed. Another thing you could try is adding a "mount" command of your own to one of your boot scripts. Most distros provide a file with a name like "rc.local" which gets executed late in the boot process and can be used to add your own custom commands to execute during boot. Firstly I want to know which script do you edit and does that mean I have to re-edit the fstab after creating the script.?

Here is my fstab:
Code:
[sudo] password for siawacsh:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sdd /home/siawacsh/cowon vfat defaults
/dev/sdc1 /home/siawacsh/myhome ext3 defaults 0 3
/dev/sdb2 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sdb1 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
siawacsh@debian:~$
Remember sdc1 is the external drive, and sdd the music player.

I have attached the removable drives to directories mhyome and cowon.

General :: Rsync - Mounting Network Drives And The DLink DNS-321?

Jan 27, 2010

I recently built a small Intel Atom 330 based server for my home. I'm using the Vortexbox Fedora-based OS to run the server (primarily used as a media server). So far everything is working great. In addition to my media server, I've got a DLink DNS-321 NAS. I would like to setup a scheduled, incremental backup of my main server to the DLink NAS. I understand rsync is an excellent option, and am willing to undertake the task of setting it up on my server, but I am uncertain how to make it all happen with the DLink NAS. The NAS is very barebones, and I don't know if I can even install rsync on it. I don't even know if I can get to any kind of command line on the NAS box. 1. Can I mount the NAS drive on my main Linux server and then just run rsync on the server?
