Hardware :: Error Mounting - Failed To Read Last Sector (3907027119): Invalid Argument
I'm trying to mount my new Western Digital Elements 2tb hard drive, but every time I try to plug it into the computer I get this error message:
Quote:
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: Failed to read last sector (3907027119): Invalid argument
HINTS: Either the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet, or it was not setup correctly (e.g. by not using mdadm --build ...), or a wrong device is tried to be mounted, or the partition table is corrupt (partition is smaller than NTFS),
[code].....
But when I tried opening the hard drive from nautilus I still got the same error message as above (no other volumes was connected at the time). I've also tried opening and watching it in GParted, and I can see it there as a volume that's not allocated. When I tried to allocate the hard it I got the message that it had no partition table. And that I cold make one. I tried and Ubuntu suggested to make a MS-DOS partition table for it. But there I got a little scared as I've not done this before. The external hard drive is brand new and was brought today. And I don't have the possibility to test it with Windows or Mac as I'm using Linux only on my machines.

Ubuntu :: Error - Mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/[insert Hex Code Here] Failed: Invalid Argument
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.

General :: Read Swap Header Failed Invalid Argument (F12)
When I boot, after startup and before I log on, an error icon appears. I click - it shows a summary of the material that normally rolls by on a unix startup. One item is checked. It says: Code: Enabling /etc/fstab swaps: swapon: /dev/mapping/vg_knox-lv_swap: read swap header failed: invalid argument I have 1 disk - it has 2 partitions - one an 83 type with a file system in it, holds the kernel, mounts at /boot. The second partition is an 8e type contains a volume group logically split between lv_root and lv_swap and physically located on sda2. As I understand it, the system is having trouble processing the commands for lv_swap. I am tempted to mess with these commands, but don't have enough know how to do so and am short on the time required to learn enough to master this subject.

Ubuntu :: Error: Device-mapper: Reload Ioctl Failed: Invalid Argument
I'm having some difficulities with truecrypt and cannot figure out what's wrong since this is my first attempt to create hidden encrypted partition. I'm using ubuntu 9.10 64b with latest 6.3a truecrypt. After using truecrypt gui (just command truecrypt) I've tried: create volume-->create volumne within a partition/drive-->hidden trucrypt volume --> select some /dev/sdX by my choice --> select aes & sha512 --> password --> and format it. when formating finished message "wrong ss, swith or wrong superblock of /dev/loop0" appeared. I've got no idea what could I do with it neither know whats program trying to do! Ok formating's done, then if you're trying to mount that partition then I would expect prompt for password, but that did not happen ... EDIT: sudo mount /dev/loop0 /media/tmp/ also complaint about wrong superblock, but that does not ring any bell since i've got no idea what /dev/loop0 is or is for... EDIT2: I've tried another approach also: sudo truecrypt -t -c sudo truecrypt -t /dev/sda3 --filesystem=none but the first command finished creating 100G drive in 1 sec (nonsense) and latter one prints: Error: device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument Command failed

Ubuntu Installation :: Laptop Won't Boot - Swapoff Failed: Invalid Argument
I have a SONY laptop, PCG-7181M model. It came with Windows 7 but I changed the OS to Ubuntu. Last night it asked me to upgrade to the new version called Natty Narwhal. I had to go to bed so I changed the sleep timer on the laptop to 2 hours, the time it would have taken the upgrade to complete. I woke up and the laptop was off, now only the grub menu shows up and the laptop won't boot. I tried doing this: - When the machine boots up, press Esc to get to the Grub menu - Select one of the recovery mode options. This will boot you up to a single-user root prompt. - Run sudo fdisk /dev/sda (this assumes that your hard drive is at sda) - Type p to see which hard drive partition is labeled Linux swap. In my case the partition was /dev/sda5. Type q to exist fdisk. - Type these commands: [code]...

Red Hat :: Error Inserting MD5 - Invalid Argument
I am running Red Hat with 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5PAE kernel version. I am trying to run encryptfs to encrypt a partition on my hard drive. One of the kernel modules necessary is the md5.ko. I noticed it wasn't loaded in when doing an lsmod. I tried running modprobe md5 and it fails to load: [root@ ~]# /sbin/modprobe -v md5 insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5PAE/kernel/crypto/md5.ko FATAL: Error inserting md5 (/lib/modules/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5PAE/kernel/crypto/md5.ko): Invalid argument I ran dmesg and grepped for md5, but I didn't see anything in there.

Ubuntu Installation :: Mount Exited With Code 12 - Failed To Read Last Sector
I am a beginner in ubuntu and only recently did i install Ubuntu 10.10 using Wubi. I am dual booting along with Windows 7 64bit. Before I got to know of Wubi, I created a free 20GB partition for installing linux. But since it was of no use, I decided to extend another partition adding this 20GB space. The problem now is that I am getting the following error while trying to access the partition. "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: Failed to read last sector (605949951): Invalid argument HINTS: Either the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet, or it was not setup correctly (e.g. by not using mdadm --build ...), or a wrong device is tried to be mounted, or the partition table is corrupt (partition is smaller than NTFS), or the NTFS boot sector is corrupt (NTFS size is not valid). Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sda5' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?" These are the results after running sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda: "Disk /dev/sda: 640.1 GB, 640135028736 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 77825 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x76c4009c Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 1 992+ 42 SFS Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 * 1 13 102400 42 SFS Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda3 13 6528 52326400 42 SFS Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda4 6528 42717 290694144 42 SFS

CentOS 5 :: Unusual Error During Run Time - Invalid Argument
I've just moved a server across to CentOS 5.5 64-bit and I have been trying to get some custom software running on it. However I'm getting an unusual error during run time: sched_setaffinity: Invalid argument I've had this software working on a old versions of Gentoo (2.6.12-gentoo-r6) and Fedora. And the latest version of Ubuntu server 10.04.1. (All 64 bit). It looks remarkable similar to: Core test failed on s390x RHEL6 If v7 bug fix and enhancement update has been incorporated into CentOS 5.5 64 bit yet? Or how I might find out.

Networking :: Bandwidth Management Testing - Invalid Argument Error
I am trying to do some bandwidth management testing, so I have developed a small script for doing so. When I try to run it it gives the error <error> RTNETLINK answers: invalid argument</error>. I have searched the net, and so far they say it has to do something with the kernel support. the script: <code> tc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1: htb tc class add dev eth1 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 2mbit ceil 2mbit tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 600kbit ceil 2mbit prio 2 tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:1 classid 1:20 htb rate 1400kbit ceil 2mbit tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:20 classid 20:100 htb rate 700kbit ceil 2mbit prio 0 #when running this command it gives the error tc class add dev eth1 parent 1:20 classid 20:200 htb rate 700kbit ceil 2mbit pro 1 </code> I am running this script on a virtual machine that has ubuntu 9.04 installed.

Ubuntu :: Boot Fails From HD - Error Getting Socket / Invalid Argument
I have an old PC with two hard drives (40 and 60Gb) and it uses dual IGhz pIII processors. It shares screen,mouse and keyboard with another PC.Both into Netgear modem. It ran ubuntu 8.04 and XP Pro on the drives above with no problems. Then I decided to try Mint 11 (34bit CD) - result after Grub blank screen other than flashing cursor at top left.No input from keyboard. Tried Mint KDE 10 (34bit DVD) same result. Tried Kubuntu 10 (CD) same result. Reinstalled Ubuntu 8.04 no problem. Upgraded via download from 8.04 to 10LTS hoping that this would somehow prevent the problem and have screen which says:- starting up [000000] ACPI no DMI BIOS year,ACPI =force is required to enable acpi mount: mounting none on /dev failed: No such device udevd[825]: error getting socket: Invalid argument error initialising netlink socket udevd[825] error initialising netlink socket libudev: udev_monitor_new_from_netlink:error getting socket:Invalid argument Segmentation fault Gave up waiting for root device.Common problems: Boot args (cat/proc/cmmdline) Check root delay (Did the system wait long enough) Check root (did the sytem wait for the right device) Missing modules (cat/proc/modules; 1s /dev) ALERT! dev/disc/by-uuid/"long number here" does not exist.Dropping to a shell. Then it goes into Busybox and ends with "initramfs". I have tried altering the boot device in BIOS from HDD0 through 3 with the same result other than more bad language!
