OpenSUSE Hardware :: How To Update /etc/filesystem

May 1, 2011

my problem is, that opensuse doesn't seem to be able to mount NFTS filesystems, such as my external hard drive, which I would really like to access.

So after a bit of research related to the error message I got trying to mount the hard drive, I found out, that I need to update /etc/filesystems.

This reduces the problem to one question:

How do I update etc/filesystem, because I could imagine, that playing around with this file might cause some serious problems, which would probably lead to the loss of the capability to mount the partitions, my actual system runs on.

Information, which might be needed: I'm currently running opensuse 11.4 + the file /proc/filesystems could also lead to a solution

OpenSUSE Install :: Unknown Filesystem Type 'reiserfs' Could Not Mount Root Filesystem - Exiting To /bin/sh

Mar 27, 2010

When I try to boot to OpenSUSE I get the following error during boot-up: unknown filesystem type 'reiserfs' could not mount root filesystem - exiting to /bin/sh$

This only started happening quite recently - before this I could boot to Linux quite happily.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Filesystem Check After Power Outage - WARNING: "Running E2fsck On A Mounted Filesystem May Cause SEVERE Filesystem Damage"

May 18, 2011

I am very new to linux, and I have a question regarding the filesystem check (fsck). The power recently went out and when I tried to restart linux the following error appears:

*/dev/sda1 contains file system w/errors, check forced it then goes on to say..

*An error occured during the file system check. Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot when you leave the shell. Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue) I wasn't sure what to do, but checked some other online forums and they suggested running fsck manually - so I typed in the root password - and used the command, "fsck -A -V ; echo == $? ==" it then gave the following message

*WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage
*Would you like to continue (y/n)

Again, I wasn't sure what to do so i just checked no. I then manually turned off the computer and was prompted at the beginning to press Alt-3. I was brought to another screen and it informed me one of the drives was degraded and suggested rebuilding the array. I tried doing this, but it still brings me back to the original error of, "/dev/sda1 contains file system w/errors, check forced," and the process continues.

Also, when I tried to rebuild the array, I didn't backup any of the data on our home directory before doing this (which was probably a big mistake). After being prompted to type the root password, I was able to give the ls command and look at all the directories...the home directory where our data was stored was empty and I am afraid I may have lost some information. Is there a possibility that data was lost when I was trying to rebuild using the old drives?

Ubuntu :: Can't Mount Filesystem After BIOS Update

Jan 17, 2010

I just flashed/updated my BIOS using the MSI LiveUpdate4 utility under Windows 7. Everything worked the way it was supposted to as far as I can tell. Except that I can no longer boot up under Ubuntu. Windows XP and Windows 7 both boot up fine.

I get the error message:

Quote:

Mount of filesystem failed
A maintenance shell will now be started
CONTROL+D will terminate this shell and continue
Give root password for maintenance

I never set a root password under Ubuntu so I can't do that. It also said after failing to accept my user/sudo password something about running Fsck manually. So I put in the Ubuntu installation CD and am running it live. It comes with Fsck but there are quite a few options and I don't want to choose the wrong one and end up loosing data.

Ubuntu :: Update Manager Crashed - Root Filesystem Check Failed

Apr 8, 2011

This is a Natty system. I ran update manager to update to the latest releases for Natty, and it crashed. I ran it again and it told me it could only do a partial upgrade, and that I should do apt-get install -f. I did that, but apt-get told me the system was locked by another program. Not to worry I thought, I'll just reboot. So I did that, and I think Update-Manager got a lot further through the process than I thought, because my system is borked. It'll boot into Gnome, but when booting up the Boot Screen no longer shows the pretty Ubuntu Logo, but rather a line of text that says "Ubuntu 11.04".

When it gets into Gnome the keyboard and mouse more or less don't work (although the keyboard based Fn+9 and Fn+10 brightness control still works) and there is no desktop background. After about 30 seconds something crashes but I can't click on it to find out what. Going into the recovery console doesn't help either. The latest Kernel (2.6.38-7) stops moving forwards after "Begin:Running /scripts/init-bottom...done". has occurred for the second time. Luckily I still have the previous kernel, which gets to the same spot and then tells me:
"init: udevtrigger main process (390) terminated with status 1" and then "init: udevtrigger post-stop process (394) terminated with status 1".

I then get the message
"The disc drive for / is not ready yet or not present. Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery". S goes back to "Begin:Running /scripts/init-bottom...done" a second time, M brings up the message:
"Root filesystem check failed. A maintenance shell will now be started"
and then it asks for the root password and gives me a terminal. Everything seems to be there, but apt-get and dpkg both can't do anything as the filesystem is read only.

General :: Detect Filesystem Type (can't Mount Filesystem Image .img)

Mar 11, 2011

I am trying to mount a file image, like this

mount -o loop /tmp/apps.img /media/apps

But I get the following:

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

I try ext3:

mount -o loop /tmp/apps.img /media/apps -t ext3

dmesg says:

error: can't find ext3 filesystem on dev loop6.

I've also tried ext2, vfat etc. How can I detect the filesystem type of apps.img?

Ubuntu :: Finding Filesystem Type/repair Broken Filesystem?

Jul 9, 2010

I have a following problem: Recently my drive with Ubuntu 9.4 has mysteriously stopped working, i.e. when I switch the computer on it informs me that GRUB didn't find the filesystem. Well, I suppose it happens.

First, I though it was due to the drive dying, but I popped it in an external enclosure and HDTune told me the drive was fine. Wanting to recover the files on the drive before reinstalling I first tried to mount it in said external enclosure under Windows (I have Win Ext2 driver installed which used to work just fine). This time, however, drive gets assigned a letter but upon opening it Windows popped up an error saying that the drive was not formatted and whether I would like to format it then.

Unfazed by this streak of failures I tried to mount it under Linux but, alas, to no avail. I might have tried every single -t operator under mount command but it still won't budge and let me mount.

General :: External Drive Read Only - WARNING! Running E2fsck On A Mounted Filesystem May Cause SEVERE Filesystem Damage

Mar 24, 2010

I've had a look at some similar threads but as I'm very new to linux they're already a bit technical for me. Sorry, this calls for someone with patience. I gather from other threads that disconnecting an external drive without unmounting is a no-no, and this seems to be the likely cause. Now the disk is read only and I'm unable to change any settings through the usual control panel on ubuntu. I'm just not familiar with the terminal instructions. I tried to cut and past a few command lines from other threads but I got some warnings that proceding could damage data. Like this one: WARNING! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage.

OpenSUSE :: Filesystem Has Become Read-only?

openSuse v9.3 (Yes, it's old)linux 2.6.11.4-21.17-smp i686At some time after July 28 the entire filesystem has become read-only. It was functional on July 28, the last time I logged into the machine and edited a file. Even as the superuser when I attempt to change, say, the permissions of a file, I get:

OpenSUSE Install :: Migrating From 11.0 -> 11.3 Filesystem?

Jul 17, 2010

With the release of openSUSE 11.3 I decided to upgrade my three-year old computer which is running 11.0 and has been running out of disk for the last few months. I bought a new 500Gb HDD and installed it as the master drive, and moved my old drive to the slave. I installed 11.3 on the new drive. Too easy.Then I tried to mount my old drive so I could move my account files across. I wasn't able to mount the drive, which uses LVM (Logical Volume Manager). Is there any reason this wouldn't be recognised by 11.3?Then I tried to mount my new drive from my old system but 11.0 doesn't have support for the ext4 filesystem. I loaded the ext4dev kernel module with no joy:

Code:
samsara:/ # lsmod | grep ext4
ext4dev 222360 0

OpenSUSE :: Gparted Is Unable To Create Anything More Than An Hfs Filesystem

Sep 12, 2009

I'm running a modified version of OpenSUSE 11.1 from the susestudio builder. I've run across a weird issue whereby gparted is unable to create anything more than an hfs filesystem.

It seems that the package libparted simply doesn't exist in any of the repositories I'm using. I am figuring this would affect what gparted is able to do, although I'm unsure since the program itself runs fine.

OpenSUSE Install :: Filesystem Not Mounted After Freeze?

Feb 27, 2010

I installed OpenSUSE 11.1 on a friends computer after having a lot of trouble from ubuntu, and because I use it. It was working great when she got it home, but it locked up randomly and wouldn't unfreeze so she turned it off and when she rebooted She got an error about there not being a file system present and that she needed to run a mount command, which didn't work. After that, now it just says that there is no files system present and you ge tthe basic prompt. I had her run a live cd and run Gpartd and check and repair the partitions, but it did nothing.

OpenSUSE Install :: Can't Reformat Encrypted Filesystem?

Mar 2, 2010

I have an encrypted filesystem that I've decided I don't want encrypted anymore. Seems the easiest way to do this is simply reformat the filesystem, but I can't. If I try to do it in YaST2 I get either system error code -3005 (unknown) or -3008 (apparently in use). When I try to do it from the command line I get:

Code:
frylock:/home/joel # umount /dev/sdb5
umount: /dev/sdb5: not mounted
frylock:/home/joel # mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb5
mke2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
/dev/sdb5 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!
frylock:/home/joel #

It's unmounted, I don't know how to make it any less in use than that.I can't delete the partition because it's not the last logical partition in the extended partition.

OpenSUSE Install :: Possible To Rewrite Filesystem Creation?

Mar 5, 2010

I am creating a raid10 for our studio. I just realized after creating the filesystem that I would like modify one of the parameters - the blocksize. My original command:mkfs.ext4 -b 2048 -L insightRAIDvol /dev/md0I know want:mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -L insightRAIDvol /dev/md0Is it ok to just issue this command even though a filesystem already is in place?I am hesitant to try this without knowing what the ramifications of this might be for the superblocks or some other unknown parameter to me that might cause problems in the future.As well I know I could rebuild everything from scratch but that's a day and a half of rebuilding

May 25, 2010

I have double boot (windows7 and Opensuse) on my laptop.

My problem is when try to login Opensuse says Read only file system.(While booting a lot of things FAILS(written red) because of Read only file system). So i can't login.

Cause of this problem is want to reach my Opensuse filesystem from windows7.I installed Ext2fsd software to windows7.After installed software can see my opensuse filesystem.But it looks empty from windows7.So uninstalled the software.

After that day try to login my Opensuse.While booting alot of thing fails to load it says "FAILED".and when entered my password after entering my username cant login it says ..... Read Only File System.

How can i make the filesystem Read/write permissions to my opensuse operating system.

I can't use any command beceause can't login. (I will try to boot with Opensuse Dvd)

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.4 (KDE 4) Could Not Mount Root Filesystem

Oct 26, 2010

I am running 11.2, kde4. The day before yesterday, the system updated and I think there was kernal update within that. I had no problems immediately afterward. Then I did a total shutdown for the night, and turned it back on yesterday only to find this:

Mount: wrong fs, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog--try dmesg | tail or so
Could not mount root filesystem--exiting to /bin/sh
sh: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
sh: no job control in this shell
$

Besides the last updates from the other day, I did nothing out of the ordinary, no downloads or any system/configuration tweeks. Will I have to reinstall opensuse? or is there a way to reclaim my previous setup--or at least reclaim my files and documents? I'm running off of the 11.2 livecd.
