I had a centos Linux 64bit installed on my server.Unfortunately I don't know how but my OS crashed and now I have no way to get back my DATA except for rescue disk. I have a Linux 64bit loaded in my server with rescue but I have tried many ways to mount my hdd in Linux and was not succeed.
root@rescue ~ # fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 750.1 GB, 750156374016 bytes

I am tasked with setting up 3 out of the 6 servers and dividing up 500GB of space in the most efficient manner amongst the 3 servers. The space is in a pool which can be assigned to virtual drives. Each virtual drive can be assigned as disk0 or disk1 and so on to one or more servers. They'll be running CentOS.
On the second try I came up with this scheme:
shared sda1 -- /boot (ext3)
shared sda2 -- /home (ext3)
[code]....
I've just started playing with virtualization and I started my first VM. I would like to know if it's possible for the host machine to mount the partitions of the VM when it's closed. Right now the VM uses /dev/vg0/vm1 and has 3 partitions on it. I tried mount /dev/vg0/vm1 ~/vm1 at first before I remembered that I'd need a way to mount a specific partition inside the logical volume, not the volume itself!

I need to mount a partition that is on a server (via samba).
I am doing the following in my fstab
Quote:
//server/www /media/www cifs rw,user,allow_other,default_permissions,credential s=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,dir_mode=0777,file_ mode=0777 0 0
I can mount it but it just allows me to access with the root user. How can I do it to get access with any user?
Additional Data: I added "rw,user,allow_other,default_permissions" because I thought that would solve de problem but it didn't.
what now trying to mount partition get this error this is the partition ubuntu 9.10 is installed on and upon reboot error no device with a long string. mount: can't find /dev/sda6/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
so now that I believe I've successfully mounted the partition how do I direct the bootloader to this partition /dev/sda6 on /media/11076e45-e27d-470b-bb6d-6894f7809a0c type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit)
I've just bought a HP mini compaq laptop. The laptop doesn't have any CD/DVD "reader". So i was forced to download the .iso file to install ubuntu in addition to Windows XP that was present when i bought it. To do so i used UNetbootin, and i used my only hard disk as a live CD. But when i wanted to install ubuntu, they told me to create a partition. The problem is that i can't. I have only one partition sda1(nfst) which covers the whole stockage memory, and an empty space(8Mo). I can't acceed to any of the resizing or modifying options to edit the nfst partition. The only options are manage flags and umount. When i click on this one, they tell me : # umount /cdrom : cdrom is busy.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've tried to get an opensuse box I have to share a directory via NFS. I've failed each time, but I thought that the third time, I'd enlist some help from the forums, if I could. how do I know that the nfs server and not the client is the problem? Short answer is: I don't! That's why nfs (and many netwrk problems) are laborious, you're troubleshooting needs to take place at both source and desitination. Next question, what do I have set up so far? Well, I did download the nfs server kernel stuff (two months back) and /etc/init.d/nfsserver start seems to get set up OK. No errors and the daemons nfsd, idmapd, mountd area all running. So, I *think* that part is OK. I have the share set up properly in /etc/exportfs and have "exportfs -r" it.
OK, now onto the trickier stuff: the client and iptables. On the client pinging to the nfserver box is perfect, and I have rpcbind running. the reported error is "mount.nfs: mount system call failed" though from experience nfs errors don't mean a whole lot.However, I will go off and check now and see if I need a mountd running on client-side too.Then there's iptables .... ouch, that could be a long and painful trek. I don't see any specific ports being blocked, and it's the iptables that the default v11.2 opensuse came with. I did turn them off and the problem was the same, so whether wishfl thinking or not, I'm hoping it's not an iptables issue.
i have installed nfs server on my redhat machine.when i want to mount shared data from client(suse)machine the following error occur."mount.nfs: mount to NFS server '10.3.31.146:/home/usbtest' failed: System Error: No route to host"
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have servers installed with RHEL 4 2.6.9-89.0.9 ELsmp. I tried using uuid and label in /etc/fstab to automount usb drives to mountpoints that I specify after reboot. Unfortunately, it just does not work in all my RHEL4 servers. After every reboot, /etc/fstab will be automatically modified and all configurations related to my USB drives will be changed. Irregardless of whether i use UUID or LABEL in my /etc/fstab.However, it works on RHEL5. But, upgrading is not an option in my environment. I have been googling around looking for alternatives but everything seems to point back to using UUID or LABEL in /etc/fstab. Anyone has tried something that works? Please help me, thank you.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIn Linux how do I mount a OS-X partition * by name * that is on the same host? I once used gnome-mount like this:
gnome-mount -o ro -d /dev/sda2 or gnome-mount -o ro -p "Macintosh HD"
But, alas, gnome-mount seems to be no more. RIP.
I can do this:
gvfs-mount -d /dev/sda2
(which generates a whole lot of errors but does mount the partition in the /media directory.)
This is a related question: [URL]. But how do you do it by name?
is there a way to mount another partition on any OS really, and then in a window in the current os, boot and run that partition?
for example, im in Ubuntu and i mount my seperate arch-linux partition. then via some magical software, boot it and run it in a window, so now i am in ubuntu checking my email, and simultaneously in archlinux on facebook in a commandline using links or something.
I bought an IOMEGA Screenplay Director HD and i want to mount a partition from it using my linux. When i ran fdisk, i get:

one of my partition(actually its ntfs) are not detected in my Ubuntu,its say "unmounted".. here the screenshot with GParted :[URL]...(the highlighted area is the partition that i mean,/dev/sda1)
i try mount the partition(using mount -a) but i got the error message like this :
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

i can't format that partition because i need to get i386 folder to get my windows back.i already try to install windows but my harddisk wont detected,it happened too to windows recovery console.there is a hidden partition,comes with the netbook,it use too get back to the factory setting with OneKeyRecovery,but it useless if the partition is messed up,thats why i need the i386 folder to get OneKeyRecovery workin again..
Toshiba Satellite Win 7 which won't boot past BIOS - left with non-blinking cursor.Hitachi hard drive partitioned into 3 part - 1.4 gb MBR / 222gb Windows C:/ 20gb HD Recovery. Unfortunately owner did not make recovery discs. Data is not critical but would be nice.
Hitachi DFT drive test utility does not see the drive - error is no controller found
Pulled Hitachi drive and placed into external USB case. Plugged into PCLinuxOS installation. Drive Spins up OK
PCLinuxOS sees and CAN mount the ntfs-3g MBR AND the HD Recovery partitions but will not mount the Windows C;/ drive partition. Google finds lots of threads about downloading ntfs-3g package to mount the partitions but this is not the problem as Linux sees and mounts the MBR and Recovery partitions.
Is the Hitachi partition table corrupted? What tools to use to fix?
I have a dual-boot machine and want to know if there's a way I can mount the windows 7 partition in sid.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a dual-boot with Debian and Windows7. I used Synaptic to install the ntfs packages, and Debian detects the windows partition, but when I double click it, it says something like "Failed to mount. Invalid mount option". Now I can mount it and navigate the folders, but ALL folders and files have permissions set to 700, and I can't change the permissions to access any of the files. Sure would be nice to be able to access my windows partition.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI used Ubuntu for years now, but since the latest decisions got public I deceided to try something new: Fedora. I installed the system as a dualboot,Ubuntu and my old data. Because Fedora got installed inbetween of two partitions,ad to do the partitioning manually. I just made one partition /dev/sda4. During the installation process I got asked about the password for my /dev/sda1 partition. Of course, I entered it. So far so good.Now, everytime when I boot, the boot process stops and asks me for the password of the /dev/sda1 partition. However, the boot process does not go on, unless i press STRG+C.After the log in, I can also not access my data, by entering the password (GUI).The only way I can acces the data on that partition is:
Code:

I installed 15. I have reformatted the 500mb /boot partition, didn't touch the swap partition, formatted the / partition. Trying to boot, I receive a "cannot mount selected partition". This is a fresh install. I rebooted into the Live CD to do some FS Checks, and got kernal crash, black screen, lots of kernal output while in live CD trying to do FS checks. The only line that looks like it holds any info that may be relevant is the last of the lines that says: Kernal Panic - Not Syncing: Fatal exception interupt PID 1161, comm:irq/21-0000:01: tainted: g d (kernal version) Panic+0x91/0x19c
I did an FS check on /boot and it came back fine. I did an FS check on /, and it came back fine. But then I told it to do an FS check on swap and got the warning that swap is currently mounted, and that if I proceed, it could cause serious system damage, and asked me if I wanted to proceed. I chose no, and it crashed.

Nope, i explicity made sure i installed ext3 on boot this time, and it still gives the same boot error, AND i KEEP getting that kernel crash.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm experiencing something pretty weird with single partition of a physical disk that contains other partitions. I have observed twice already that after a boot that particular partition is not available, i.e. it does not appear to be mounted. When I tried to manually mount that partition, I got the message "not mounted or device busy". Unmounting the device showed that it was actually not mounted, although I cannot fathom what would keep the device busy. It is the only partition on that physical disk that has this problem, which is good because my root partition is also on this disk.
The first time I had this I tried rebooting a couple of times (after, unsuccessfully, trying the manual mount) and it seemed to work. The partition became available again.This time I was still busy googling for it when suddenly the partition became available, i.e. it had mounted. After a reboot it stayed that way.As I am unable to comprehend this and quite convinced that it will pop up again in the future, I wonder if someone else has seen this or knows what is going on.All partitions are formated as ext3 and I'm currently running karmic (clean install), although the offending partition has not been touched since 8.04. My machine is a Dell Studio 17 laptop.
When I try to boot I get this error message:
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:

Booting from my 9.10beta livecd sudo fdisk -lu shows my root partition (sda5) but blkid doesn't, and there's no way to mount it.
I know similar questions have been posted before but they all involve using fsck or e2fsck, which don't work with my ext4 filesystem.

I was reading this about setting up boot partition to not mount automatically. [URL]
Quote:
Some users don't want their /boot partition to be mounted automatically to improve their system's security. Those people should substitute defaults with noauto. This does mean that you need to manually mount this partition every time you want to use it. Add the rules that match your partitioning scheme and append rules for your CD-ROM drive(s), and of course, if you have other partitions or drives, for those too. Now use the example below to create your /etc/fstab: how to set up a boot partition.
