I am trying to get my computer to mount an external folder on a different machine with :

Hey guys by mistake I've deleted my root partition, now I'm trying to recover my data which is located in /home/user I was able to mount my home partition to /home by executing mount /dev/sdf10 /home and I was able to mount my external by executing mount /dev/sda1 /media The problem is I can not copy anything to it, it says "operation not permitted" I've tried the following
mount -o rw /dev/sda1 /media
mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 /media
I've even tried -t with vfat, ntfs, fat32
and also
chmod 777 /media
I get no errors while trying this but as soon as I try to copy or touch a file in the directory it denies me.
I haven't used encryption previously but through that for better security, I would enable it on one of my disks. I went though the process and when done, copied data to the device etc. My house had a powercut the other day and I noticed that the device did not mount automatically upon restart. Unfortunately, I have forgotten the de-cryption password and have lost access to my data. Is there a way of either recovering my password or getting the partition to mount without the password so I can access the data, copy/back up and then re-create the partition without encryption?

does anyone know that if i can boot from an external hard drive with "openSUSE" installed on it?
how about FireWire, will it work?
i'm trying to set up a triple boot for me newly bought iMac.
Sometimes openSUSE boot ends with these errors:[url]
(I do not know why it prints an error on Ext2 filesystem when the disk is formatted Ext4...)

Here is my Fstab:
Code:
I have installed "open-SUSE 11.4" on a "500GB Free Agent External Hard Drive". I didn't have any problem in booting since last week that I booted it from my laptop. Also I did it before several times from then when I try to boot it e.g. from an "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz" PC the time between loading INITRD and starting boot sequence messages lasts nearly 30 minutes!(i didn't actually measure it but it take a long time in the same order). after starting boot sequence which is showed on monitor everything looks normal. e.g copy of files would be done by speeds between 2MB/s to 30 MB/s depending on the targets.I used to use the external hard derive to boot from different laptops and PC's from start but I didn't have such a problem anytime.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop that came with no OS. It has no internal HDD, so I formatted a 320gb external HDD and installed openSUSE 11.3 from another computer onto the external hdd. I can't seem to boot from the external hdd on the laptop though. I have it set as the primary boot source in BIOS. Is it possible to boot from external hdd or am I missing a step?
View 7 Replies View RelatedThis sounds strange, but my laptop (running 11.2) won't boot correctly unless my external HDD (ext3) is on and plugged in. If I don't turn it on, it hangs at the start of udev. If I press ctrl+c, the system continues to boot, but the keyboard and mouse don't activate... don't function, etc. But I can press my power button and it does shut down. Going through dmesg (during a successful boot with the external HDD on), I saw this (not sure if it is relevant):
Code:

The device sdb1 is the HDD.
Now, I don't know much about udev. I can tell you that I have no sdb1 lines in /etc/fstab, and I have no autofs references to it.
A while back when 11.0 was recent i upgraded my computer to an hp pavilion desktop which only had SATA which wasn't compatible with my 500gb IDE hard disk. I then decided to buy a compatible hd (500 gb as well) and use an external hard drive case to put my old one into(which plugs into the USB ports) i currently have the external 500 gb partitioned with a linux native mounted at /home, and my other with NTFS and linux native mounted at /
Prior to updating to 11.2:I could power on my external hd(Thermaltake A2396) after grub and it would boot up no problem. if i turned it on too late or before grub was done it wouldn't load and i would have to log in as root in repair mode, turn the hd off then back on, wait for a couple of lines to pass(I assume the drive being detected) then mount /home, and init 5This didnt really bother me for the previous versions of suse much because i just had to remember to turn on the drive After updating to 11.2:the only way to boot is to wait, do the power on/off, mount /home, and init 5this gets to be quite annoying after a while and i was wondering if anyone knew a way to get it to mount itself while its booting. let me know if you'd like me to post any more info
1. When booting standalone (no extra display) everything works just fine

Just installed 11.3 on my computer, however when I connect an external NTFS harddisk I receive an error message. When I open dolphin to connect to an internal NTFS partition I receive the message:

Anyone having an idea how I can fix this?
I have a server that has 2 dirty volumes, both of which are very large. One volume contains live data, the other is just a rsync'd copy of that data, which isn't critical to the users. The e2fsck is taking forever in single user mode, so i'm wondering if there is a way after the volume with live data becomes clean from e2fsck fixing everything, if i can boot the server and have it skip mounting the other dirty volume (/dev/md1) just this once, so i can get the server up with the live data available to users. Then with /dev/md1 unmounted with the server up, I should be able to e2fsck that until it comes back clean, then do a mount /dev/md1,Please let me know how I could do this, I'm running RedHat if that matters. I'm quickly running out of time here,

View 9 Replies View RelatedUsing OpenSUSE 11.4 on a backup server. At boot, it needs to connect to the main server's NFS share. Watching the text scroll up the screen, it's obvious that the system waits for anything up to several minutes showing 'mounting NFS...'. Once it (eventually) passes that point, the rest of the boot procedure is as fast as expected.
If NFS is disabled at boot, normal boot times are restored. If the NFS client is restarted via 'rcnfs restart' once the system is up and running, it's instant. If NFS is disabled at boot and started manually afterwards, it start instantly. Once running, NFS behaves normally. The backup server has two ethernet ports, connected via a switch to the main server, which also has two ethernet ports. All ports are configured via DHCP from a router, with all addresses reserved on the router so that all important devices are kept at the same locations.
Just the last day or so, I've noticed a long pause when I boot my laptop, with lots of disk activity. dmesg says:
[Code]...
Why would there be a 15-second pause (during which the disk is slammed) between mounting root and mounting swap? During this time I see nothing but a blank purple screen, there are no cycling dots or text scroll. Is this normal and I'm just freaking out over nothing because there's no indicator of progress?

I'm using Opensuse 11.4 updated from 11.3, update from 11.2 updated from. I'm mounting at boot time (in fstab) some shares from an opensuse 11.2 server. Mounting worked fine in 11.2, 11.3 and also in 11.4 but suddenly (maybe an automatic update?) It stopped working.... sometimes.
Sometimes they are mounted properly but sometimes they aren't. When mount fails I get a log error: "rpc.statd is not runninf but is required for remote locking. Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local or start statd"
If I run manually (as root) mount -a the shares mount properly always, so I thought it was a problem of timing (the service starting late) so I tried to get a script to run after the network initialitation, the script does: "mount -a". But it doesn't work either.
My server with Opensuse 11.1 doesn't boot anymore.This afternoon I've installed imagemagick over yast. After that the server still works for a couple of minutes. Then it stops working (I'm not sure if it's because of the installation). so I had to reboot it.But it never came up again.It doesn't boot anymore.I get the boot menu and can make my choice. But it doesn't matter what I choose (standard or failsagfe) the only message I get is:

i have Ubuntu 10.4 installed. i have a external hdd that is formated as HFS+.
When i connect it, nothing happens in ubuntu but the hdd lights up at least..
I have an 3.5 sata hdd that I use as a external hdd. Everything has been working fine untill last week I pluged it in and nothing will show up I cant get the option to mount it. When I open gparted, the blue LED will blink a few times on the hdd. When I go to change devices in gparted all I get is /dev/sda. If I plug in an thumg drive then I will get the options of /dev/sda and /dev/sdc. So I think that it knows that /sdb is there
ps. my friends thinks it might be a logical error, I'm not sure what that means.
i have a script in /home/rpcaldeira/server.sh to start my source dedicated server. But i would like to start this on boot time. get this to start on boot time? I'm running openSuse 11.2 in Text Mode.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use evergreen for 11.1 on a hosted server. I just did a "zypper up" and I can't boot anymore!I still have access to the server through a recovery system a bit like the openSUSE rescue. But my main mail server in on this machine, so I don't have anymore access to the evergreen mailing list (of course I can subscribe from gmail of else, but i try first here).
I can reinstall from my hosting provider, but I just missed the point that this reinstall is not from 11.1 but to 11.4, and that mean I have to reconfigure most of my service, and this takes time.is there a way I can reinstall original 11.1 base? may I stop the evergreen repo, do zypper up and be undergraded?important notice: this server use a provider kernel and lilo, not the evergreen kernel. I now have a 2.6.38 kernel next time I will try simply issuing "lilo".

I am having trouble getting my portable hard drive to mount after partitioning it for VFAT. I originally had it partitioned as NTFS but I realized that my Xbox 360 will only mount VFAT filesystems.

I'm trying to mount some file systems in the /sys directory with the nosuid option. Upon executing the command:
mount -o remount,nosuid /sys/kernel/security
or
remount nosuid /sys/kernel/security
/etc/mtab will show that they have been applied, but upon restart of the machine, the nosuid option is removed.
Soooo, the question is why are they being removed? Can /sys files carry the nosuid option?
