Typically when I'm given a SAN attached to one of my servers i'm not given any information on it. Usually I can get my with an fdisk -l to tell me what's out there. Twice now I've had to ask what the connection device is. What command can be run other than fdisk -l, I've seen something ran people by another guy but was not able to write it down at the time and have forgotten it.
View 3 RepliesI have lots of HDD on my PC and I just mount them to access files, I am wondering if these drives are turned off when unmounted? because I want to remove them physically on my computer unplug its IDE and power cable while ubuntu is running, wont it damage the drive even if its unmounted?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from Karmic to Lucid and have the following problems:
(1) My unmounted partitions used to be visible in "Places" on the left of Nautilus, so I could mount them when needed, but now they are not there. Also,they do not show in "Computer" view
(2) When I open Disk Utility from System/Administration, there is nothing at all showing - it takes quite a while to start up, but when finally the window opens, no devices or partitions are shown.
On my desktop, I try to instantly put some disks into sleep using hdparm, for some tests. Though the disks are unmounted, they wake back up in seconds. How can it be? How can I track which process wakes a disk up with what operation? I think unmount disks should default to standby during system load.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two internal disks that are accessible from my ubuntu. I installed ubuntu using wubi, and those two disks are the same disks I use on Windows. One of the disks contains windows system files.These disks were easily accessible from ubuntu, I could mount/unmount anytime I wanted and had no problem with editing files. I did something I can't remember, I was just following some instruction trying to solve problem with my SD card reader. turned out it wasn't the right solution (but I fixed the SD card issue using some other instruction).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Debian OS installed (6.0), installed on a single partition, which was running out of space. So I copied all the data in /home to a spare partition, then edited fstab to mount this new partition as /home.
This works fine. But now of course I have the /home data both on the new partition (the one that is now being mounted and used), and also still on the original partition, though this directory is no longer mounted by the OS, so I can't directly 'get at' the data to delete it.
I could easily get into the partition from another OS and delete the unneeded /home data of course but I was just wondering; as this data is no longer 'seen' by the OS, will it be overwritten automatically by the OS when it needs more space, as it does with data that has been deleted from the filesystem, or would it be reserved somehow, still using up space?
I have two volumes, both with 800GB total used on them. lets call them /vol1 and /vol2. /vol2 is just a cron'd rsync'd copy of a folder on /vol1 which is a live share for many users.If I temporarily suspend the cronjob doing the rsync's from /vol1 to /vol2, is it safe to unmount and e2fsck /vol2, then remount it somehow?
Both /vol1 and /vol2 say the filesystem state is not clean when i do a tune2fs -l on them both. According to tune2fs both will check themselves upon restart, but if I can do /vol2 since it isn't the live data beforehand, that will cut my downtime in half the next time i restart the server.But I also wonder that if I can do this, then i remount /vol2, will the "not clean"-ness of /vol1 just be rsync'd back over to /vol2 the next time the rsync runs?
I accidentally unmounted filesystems using umount -a command.How to recover from this.

How can I see all the physical hard drives on my Ubuntu system — regardless of whether they're mounted — as well as their partition info, sizes, &c.? I have three physical drives, but only one seems to be mounted. I'd like to mount the other ones too, as I have some data on them.

Code: Select all/dev/sda3 /mnt/2 ext4Â users,noatime,auto,rw,nodev,exec,nosuid 0 0
(i had created /mnt/2 before ) ..... and this is the output of fdisk -l :

After adding the line at the end of my fstab file , something strange happened , i rebooted the computer and mate didn't come up , it was a console like screen , i had to access fstab from there to delete the line and enter mate . i did this for 2 times and both times the same thing happened . How can I mount my partition permanently ?
When I remove "safely" my usb pendrive all my hard drives and partitions get unmounted. It's not permanent I just have to close the session and start again but sometimes it's kinda annoying because I'm in the middle of a lot of work and have to close everything... and if I'm working with a file in that drive sometimes I lose it...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been setting up my laptop as a dual boot with Win7 (yuckkk!) and Ubunutu 11.04. My HP Pavilion dm4 came with 4 primary partitions used by Windows! (Again, yuckkk!) I got rid of Windows_recover partition (I don't remember the exact name) converted that primary partition to an extended partition and then installed Ubuntu in virtual partitions. All that works.What I don't like is that the partition HP_TOOLS shows up in Nautilus, and if you click on it, it self-mounts and makes that partition accessible.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm using some software that using mount point such as truecrypt. I also mount shared folder on other machine (fileserver) and publish it using ftp. The problem is when the truecrypt volume dismounted or the shared folder mount point loosing connection to the fileserver, user can write to the mount point without knowing that they actually not writing to the truecrypt volume or to the shared folder.
My question is, when sometime the server reboot and truecrypt volume is not mounted yet, how to prevent write to the mount point? I dont run truecrypt mount automatically for security reason.Some question for shared folder, if fileserver restart and the shared folder mount point got disconnected, how to prevent write to the mount point?

I have a dual boot laptop Ubuntu 10.10 + Windows XP. When browsing my Windows C Drive in Ubuntu I decided to create a share to the windows "my documents" folder. The problem is that the windows drive is not automatically mounted at launch of ubuntu and as a result I get the following errors:

Could not find "/media/14F0AD48F0AD30C2/Documents and Settings/Lucas Redding"

I have tried to look at the Samba and Nautilus settings but I am unable to find any that automatically mount the windows drive.
I know there are many threads about recovering damaged superblocks. I've spent 3 evenings reading them and trying what they suggest. Invariably the commands do nothing except to report bad or missing superblocks. I've removed the physical disk from the machine and am working with a dd image file (/mnt/image). I can mount what used to be hdc1 and read its files with no problem. I'm trying to recover partions hdc6 and hdc7.$ mmls /mnt/image -b

I did a zypper dup upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4 with no errors. My shutdown command has always been halt -h and during shutdown, I would always see verbose info about the drives being umounted, the "term" signal being sent, and the "kill" signal being sent. Since the upgrade, I only see the "term" signal being sent, followed by shutdown. On every boot since the upgrade, the system goes through several hundred lines of file repairing as the file system is not clean after shutdown. For whatever reason, the hard drives are apparently being killed before the umount is complete. I have changed no settings. The problem exists whether I do a shutdown from the KDE menu, or run halt -h as su from a terminal.
View 9 Replies View RelatedTo workaround the kio_smb madness, I set up shares to be mounted via /etc/fstab. It works flawlessly until I suspend my laptop. Coming back from suspend, samba mounts are not being re-mounted automatically. Since I'm new to opensuse, I wish to ask you:
Is there a polished way to make this happen, in opensuse approach?
Or shall I just go and toy with scripts in the init.d (or what is it in suse)?
As much as I could figure, I checked in yast, and smbfs service is signed as "Yes".
As i understand, after autofs unmounts disk (network or otherwise) it keeps spinning. It costs energy, so i wonder is there any way to put hard disk to idle state after autofs timeout kicks in?

Secondly, the drive is not mounted in the FS, but when I run gphoto2 I get the following error:

What command will unmount the drive. For example in Nautilus, I can right click and select "Safely Remove Device". After doing that, the /dev/sg7 and /dev/sdg devices are removed.
