OpenSUSE Install :: Unable To Write To Any External Filesystem
Nov 2, 2010
Whenever I try to write to /opt, /usr/src, or /usr/local, I get "permission denied."
How do I fix this? The portion of the fstab for the filesystems in question is:
Code:
/dev/sda9 /opt ext4 user,noauto,noacl 0 0
/dev/sda6 /usr/local ext4 user,noauto,noacl 0 0
/dev/sda10 /usr/src ext4 user,noauto,noacl,exec 0 0
/dev/sdf1 /mnt/hd2 ext4 user,noauto,noacl 0 0
[Code]....

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.

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.

I switched a external 500GB usb HD from FAT to ext4, because the box it's on no longer has windows.It mounts fine and I can read it - but not write.I have some inkling as to what to do, but prefer your opinions first.

My wife is purchasing a netbook with no internal CD/DVD writing device, so we plan to purchase an external CD/DVD USB-2.0 read/write device. Our local PC shop has the following 3 external USB-2.0 DVD read/write devices:
(a) Samsung DVD-Burner SE-S084F/RSBS [not listed on Samsung site - too old ? ]
(b) LG DVD-Burner GE24NU21 USB2.0 [not listed on LG site - too old ? ]
(c) Super-Multi Portable DVD Rewrite (GP10 Lite USB2.0 Slimline) GP10NB20 (mentions Mac OS/X support, which is encouraging)
None of those are listed in the openSUSE HCL. Has anyone successfully used any of these with GNU/Linux (my google surfing on this revealed no GNU/Linux complaint nor any success stories) ? Or is there another such external USB-2.0 read/write DVD burner device that is recommended ?

I am trying to install the reiserfs drivers to read/write to my external drive. But keep getting command not found. Although the system can get man pages for modprobe.
modprobe reiserfs
bash: modprobe: command not found
I also need to know how to add myself to the sudoers file. I have already tried visudo but this has not worked.

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.

I'm having some issues writing files through dolphin (smb://computer_name/) to a Windows SBS share. It seems that every time I try and write a file it simply creates a 32KB file.
I was previously able to write to this (Opensuse 11.0 / 11.1 / 11.2) and nothing has changed on the Windows server (besides for windows updates).
I'm running:
Opensuse 11.3 KDE Version 4.5.2 (KDE 4.5.2) "release 10"
Dolphin Version 1.5

we have a data transfer network drive, shared via nfs and samba.But now I got the special demand to make any of the files read and wirteable, regardsless of the permissions they had before.With acl I get the right permissions (via default values) but the standard unix permissions overwrite this. e.g. when I have 644, it does not care that the group has write permissions)Does someone have an idea (except chmod via cronjob )

I'm running openSUSE 11.1 32-bit and I'm trying to use my external USB DVD-RW drive. I've tried loading two 11.1 discs in the drive and both of them fail.After putting the dvd in the drive I mount with::mount/dev /scd0 /media/cdrom
and it comes back with:mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so.Second question is can I use this external USB DVD-RW drive to install linux from, or does it have to be an internal drive? If so is there anything special I need to do to get it to look at the drive during boot. I take it this is dependant on a BIOS setting. This is all assuming of course I can get my dvd's to read.

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

When I connect my logitech cordless optical mouse to my laptop I am unable to access it's settings under system settings. The setting options are greyed out and it says
You have a Logitech Mouse connected, and libusb was found at compile time, but it was not possible to access this mouse. This is probably caused by a permissions problem
How or where can I set the permissions so that I am able to access the mouse settings? I've googled around and found lots of references to the above message but no solutions.
The mouse is one of those optical wireless (radio) mice

I'm trying to get an external HD to mount on my Dell Laptop running OpenSuse 11.1. When I connect I get the following:
Quote:
dmesg:
usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
usb 1-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb 1-5: New USB device found, idVendor=0bc2, idProduct=0503
usb 1-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=54, Product=69, SerialNumber=95

But am left scratching my head. I don't think its showing up in the etc/mtab - which i think it is supposed to?

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.

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.

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

I have a nfs exported filesystem but after each reboot I have to restart the NFS server twice to make it actually export the filesystem.
First restart always fails with:

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)

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.

Upgraded from 11.1 to 11.2 using GUI (YaST and Wagon)
Machine stops on boot and says:
fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. The root file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it read-write do: bash# mount -n -o remount, rw /
Attention: Only CONTROL-D will reboot the system in this maintenance mode. shutdown or reboot will not work.
Give root password for login:
I write: mount -n -o remount,rw /
And then reboot with CONTROL-D.

I have an application which uses 256k as blocksize. And I would like to have a filesystem which handles I/O blocksize as near as possible to this blocksize.
I can not use EXT3, because that will be to small blocks. I was getting into problem to use XFS; because that has some dependencies to the PAGESIZE in the kernel, it can not use bigger blocksizes than the PAGESIZE in the kernel.
What more opertunities do I have? Or how can I get XFS to work with bigger blocks.?
