OpenSUSE Install :: 11.2 64 Bits From Second Partition Of My 8GB USB Pendrive
May 6, 2010I was trying to install openSUSE 11.2 64 bits from the second partition of my 8GB USB pendrive.
Why? I want a dual data / emergency install pendrive without mixing my data with the install system.
As most people use MS Windows, and it's only able to mount the first partition of USB removable drives (without installing an alternative USB disk driver), I need the first partition to be the data partition for normal pendrive use.
Ok, I must say I've accomplished this with Ubuntu before without major problems.
Well, as of now, I've copied the ISO image contents to that second partition, installed Grub4DOS in the MBR with its corresponding custom menu.lst file, and made bootable the second partition.
When booting my system from the pendrive, the kernel was loaded without problems, but the boot process stopped with a message indicating that there was no device with MBRID = 0x8c71ad6e.
Ok, I ran fdisk from Linux and diskpart from Windows, and find the MBRID for my PenDrive is 0xed196ecb.
I've modified the /boot/grub/mbrid file with the actual pendrive MBRID, but the system refuses to boot with the same error (and with the correct MBRID).
Is it possible that the install system is only able (is hardcoded) to boot only from the first partition?
OpenSUSE Install :: Set Up System With Boot Partition On USB (pendrive)?
Feb 12, 2011Note: I am doing such setup for the first time so I don't know if there is a problem with given opensuse version or problem with what I am doing. System: openSUSE 11.4 RC1
Desired setup: entire system except /boot partition on hard disk, /boot partition on USB (pendrive). Aim -- making impossible to boot from hard disk, forcing boot from the USB (please, don't question my aim, I am just trivializing the issue here to shorten the description).
Setup: I set /home and / partitions on hard disk (/sda), /boot partition on USB (/sdb), I selected the options to Boot From Boot Partition as well as Boot From Master Boot Record. Finally I selected Boot Loader Options and selected Set active flag in Partition Table for Boot Partition. I installed the system.
What works:
a) without pendrive inserted I cannot start the system
b) with pendrive inserted GRUB menu shows up and system is ready to boot
The problem: after initial starting, there is long pause, and system switches to text mode with error:
Code:
drive "/dev/disk/by-id/id_of_my_pendrive" is not found Since the console worked, I logged in, and yes, actually there was not such disk found. But the disk (pendrive) was there -- the initial booting took place not from void, but from it. So why it is not present? Out of curiosity, I pulled it out, and plugged it in back, now it was visible in "dev/disk/. Question: what should I change/tweak for correct booting the system from pendrive? Or is a bug in 11.4 installer? I would like to setup everything as it should be done -- I mean within installer.
What I found so far: Booting encrypted system from USB stick - Gentoo Linux Wiki it is similar problem to mine, but only similar. I have other symptoms.

OpenSUSE Install :: Raid Root Partition Not Mounting After Updates
Jan 27, 2010I'm having some problems with a hosted openSUSE 11.2 server. It was running fine until I did a "zypper up" to apply patches. This included a kernel update.
On reboot the root partition does not mount the / partition giving the following error:
Unrecognized mount option "defaults.noatime", or missing value mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md2.
Through an Ubuntu rescue disk (this is what Hetzner provides) the disk can be mounted without problems.
( I installed a fresh openSUSE 11.2 with a similar configuration and got the same results after the update)
The server is a hosted installation from Hetzner in Germany with just the basics for LAMP setup.
The disk setup is as follows using software raid1:
swap /dev/md0 (/dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1)
/boot /dev/md1 (/dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2)
/ /dev/md2 (/dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3)

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Mounting Hardware-RAID 1 NTFS Partition?
Mar 5, 2010I have a dual-boot setup with winXP and openSUSE 11.2. I have both XP and SUSE partitions on a 160g HDD and then a Hardware RAID 1 array of 2 320g HDDs. The RAID arrray contains all my media/data files on an NTFS partition. For some reason SUSE shows both individual 320g disks mounted in the file system, but not the RAID array. If I attempt to browse either of the disks, I get an error and can't view them. How do I mount the RAID NTFS partition?
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Mounting A Partition On A Partition Unstable?
Jan 19, 2011I have come across the following statement: " When a FAT32 partition is mounted at '/media/windows', all access to '/media/windows' and everything below it is transparently handled by the Linux kernel using the 'vfat' module. Applications need not know they're dealing with anything else. However, mounting a partition at a location inside of another mounted partition is unpredictable, unstable, and generally a bad idea. "
Is it correct? Most of my partitions are mounted on /home, which is on a separate partition; and I have one "level 3" partition. I have been using Ubuntu for nearly three years so far with no problems (except for /home losing it's format once).

OpenSUSE Install :: Create A Live USB Stick In A Pendrive With Files Available For Windows?
Nov 14, 2010I've put openSUSE several times in USB flash drives. I've used the old method with dd ... and the new one with dd_rescue ..., shown in SDB:Live USB stick - openSUSE This way a partition is created (sdb1 or sdc1 or ...), with the Linux file system (ID: 83). One of the problems of this system is that all the data of the pendrive is deleted. Another problem is that sometimes openSUSE doesn't load completely and I cannot use it. And another of the problems is that even if I create another partition (for example to make the Live USB persistent and "remember" the configuration of my computer) and I put some of my photos, songs, films there when I plug the pendrive in a computer running Windows XP I cannot access the data. (What about Vista and 7?)
Other Linux distros can be put in pendrives using the FAT file system (for example W95 FAT32 (LBA), ID: c). This way my personal data or files (photos, documents, ...) can be opened from a computer running Windows XP (and the personal data is not erased when putting the Linux in the pendrive). So I would like to know how to create a Live USB drive with personal files that are avaiable for many Operating Systems, including Windows XP. Perhaps the solution is to put openSUSE in a FAT file system, or put it in Linux file system but create another partition with FAT file system (for this openSUSE should avoid the 1st partition, sdX1, that should be for the personal data, so Windows XP can access it).
Fedora :: Mounting Partition Upon Startup
Mar 31, 2010I've migrated back to Fedora as I am just displeased with the majority of debian based distros and Sabayon at the moment. Fedora has grown up quite a bit since FC9 and I'm here to stay. I keep all of my media and documents on a seperate partition on my disk and am wondering how I can have it set to automatically mount it upon startup. It gets kind of annoying having to re-enter my password every reboot just to mount the partition that 90% of my time is spent on.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Mounting HDD Image Of LVM Partition
Mar 13, 2010I have a dedicated server that Ubuntu 9.04 operating system has been installed on it. Before this dedicated server, I had another server that according to some reasons, it was put aside and I requested my datacenter support team to attach previous server's HDD to my new server in order to transfer its information to the new server's HDD. On the disks of previous HDD, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS OS had been installed and most of its capacity was full, but while I mounted that HDD on the new server, the contents of the primary partition were visible but the contents of the extended partition weren't visible. After some inspectings, I observerd that the extended partition type is converted to LVM. Before this, I didn't deal with this kind of partition. I tried to mount this partition but I failed. I read many articles about this problem and implemented instructions on the HDD but the LVM partition was never mounted that returns many different errors and even I pursued the reasons of this errors but non of these remedies didn't solve this problem. Since the datacenter had determined a specifies time for transfering information. then I had to return the SCSI HDD on the specified time, so I was forced to make an image of the hard disk by "TestDisk" software. I've made that image from the LVM partition which its capacity amounts to 150 GB but still I'm not able to mount the image according to instructions on the different related websitres. Since I'm really dummy in Linux Fle System field, I request you to help me to mount this image or extract its contents.
