I keep getting this error message. i don't want to go back to windows but if I can't fix this I'm afraid I will have to so I can listen to my podcasts. Does anyone know how to fix this error?
View 9 RepliesI created a encrypted volume on top of software raid1. These are my steps:
1. Create logical partition on sda
2. Create logical partition on sdb (same size)
3. Change type to partition to 'fd' for both partitions
4. Check that the both partitions are same size and type
fdisk -l /dev/sda && fdisk -l /dev/sdb
5. partprobe
6. Make sure there are no remains from previous RAID installations on /dev/sdb by running:
mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda6
mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdb6
7. mdadm --create /dev/md4 --level=1 --raid-disks=2 /dev/sda6 /dev/sdb6
8. watch cat /proc/mdstat
9. update mdadm.conf
mdadm --examine --scan | grep mdx >> /etc/mdadm.conf
10. Load twofish module
[root@localhost ~]# modprobe twofish
11. # cryptsetup -y -c twofish-cbc-essiv:sha256 create ftdata /dev/md4
Enter passphrase:
Verify passphrase:
12. mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 -R stride=8 /dev/mapper/ftdata
13. mkdir /ftdata
14. Mount the encrypted volume: mount -O noatime /dev/mapper/ftdata /ftdata
It mounts successfully this first time. When I cd /ftdata, I can see the lost+found dir
Now, I unmount the volume
cd ~
Code:
umount /ftdata
cryptsetup remove ftdata
And now, if I try to setup my encrypted volume like this:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# cryptsetup create ftdata /dev/md4
Enter passphrase:
mount -O noatime /dev/mapper/ftdata /ftdata
I get this error:

So why is it that I can't mount my encrypted volume after the first time? I am giving the correct password when it asks to.
I have a problem in my ubuntu 10.01 that it can't load a drive/volume in ubuntu. When I tried, it said: "Unable to mount location Error mounting: mount: /dev/sda1: can't read superblock". And when I boot my pc with 'Windows', it said : "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" under a blue screen. What can I do to solve this problem?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI didn't have Linux until the day Windows crashed on me for the gazillionth time. I was simply playing some music in Windows Media Player as the entire PC froze. No CTRL+ALT+DEL, no alt F4... so I was forced to hard-reset my computer using the ON-button. After that it never launched Windows again simply because it didn't feel like it. Now, we're not here to find out why Windows is a bitch about all this, my real problem lays somewhere else. Seeing as a lot of important files were on my Windows drive I figured I could just install Linux on the other drive and fetch the files from there. The problem is I can't. Every time I attempt to open the disk I get the following error:
Quote:
Cannot mount volume.
Unable to mount the volume.
Hibernated non-system partition, refused to mount. Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Operation not permitted. The NTFS partition is hibernated. resume and shutdown Windows properly, or mount the volume 'read-only' with the ro-option. Or mount the volume 'read-write' with the remove_hiberfile-option.
Code:
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /media/disk -o remove_hiberfile
I've tried both the ro-option and the remove_hiberfile but in both cases I'm given this error in the console:
Quote:

Choice 1: If you have Windows.. click on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in Windows task bar to shutdown Windows cleanly..
Choice 2: If you do not have Windows then you can use the 'force' option...
And thus looping me back to the first command, upon entering I will again receive the first error. Things I have tried:
- said commands or slight variants
- re-installing windows (gets stuck during installation)
- used the Ultimate Boot CD in an attempt to access and copy the files from my Windows Drive onto an external hard drive / my Linux drive
- clicking the Drive icon furiously for a period of time in hope of a different result (which obviously did not work) Seeing as I can't screw open my laptop and take the drive out I'm really hoping there is some way for me to connect to the drive from Linux and extract the files.
- most likely my Windows system files have gone corrupt and I will need a format, but I'm not willing to do that unless I'm a 100% sure there is no way for me to extract the files first. I have an Acer ASPIRE 7720G (laptop) running an Intel Core Duo T7500 and have 2 physical hard drives (each as one large partition) of 500GB, further more it has 4GB DDR2 RAM memory and a fancy graphics card.

How do I configure my Debian installation to mount external USB drives to mount points based on the volume names of the drives? For instance, if I have a thumb drive with the volume name of "SWORDFISH," how do I have Linux mount it at /media/SWORDFISH? I'm aware that this can be setup in FSTAB, but that requires that I know the UUID of the device beforehand and that I take the time to set each external device up in FSTAB first. That does nothing for me when I have a thumb drive that has never been plugged into my computer before.
This seems to be setup by default in Ubuntu/Kubuntu, but is not working for me with a fresh installation of Debian Squeeze and KDE4. I've spent the past 2 hours Googling for a solution and have turned up nothing. UPDATE: My results are inconsistent. Sometimes Debian mounts devices to mount points based on the volume names, and other times it gives them generic mount points (e.g. /media/usb1).
I have two internal hard drives.I just installed Debian Lenny in the smaller 80GB. But when I try to access the other hard drive it shows:
"Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume"
info:
-The 80GB is on dual boot with Windows 7 and Debian Lenny.
-The 500GB secondary hard drive is NTFS filesystem.
I plugged in USB(single fat32 partiton of 2GB) and got message window Cannot mount volume. Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume.

I have inserted my handy drive. However, when I right click and select unmount I get the following message:
An application is preventing the volume "New Volume" from being unmounted
So I try from the command line:
umount /dev/sdb1
And I get the following message:
umount: /media/New Volume: device is busy.
All I have done is copied some files to my handy drive. So I am not sure what process is keeping my handy drive busy.Is there any command that I can use to see what process of anything else is using the handy drive?
I am trying to burn some data to CD/DVD, but when i insert a CD/DVD into the drive i get the 2 error messages shown in the screenshot below. The burn medium is not even recognised anymore by the PC.

My Windows-system has broken down and I can't reach my files on the hard drive, because i'm unable to boot Windows.

Choose one action:
Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly.
Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for your own responsibility.
For example type on the command line: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/OS -oforce Or add the option to the relevant row in the /etc/fstab file: /dev/sda1/media/OS ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0

I'm trying to reinstall ubuntu because I messed up a bunch of stuff but I need to back it up on this hard drive which won't mount in any linux distro.
It's been days that I've been with this and I'm getting to the end of my wits.
I tried to create a RAID-5 volume with three identical 1tb drives. I did so, but I couldn't mount the new volume after a reboot. Mdadm --detail told me that of the three drives, two were in use with one as a hot spare. This isn't what I wanted.
So I deleted the volume with the following commands:
mdadm --stop /dev/md0
mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd
mdadm --remove /dev/md0
Then I rebooted the machine, and used fdisk to delete the linux raid partitions and re-write an empty partition table on each of the drives. I rebooted again.
Now I'm trying to start over. I purged mdadm, removed the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file, and now I'm back at square one.
Now for whatever reason I can't change the partition tables on the drives (/dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd). When I try to make a new ext3 filesystem on one of the drives, I get this error:
"/dev/sdb1 is apparently in use by the sytem; will not make a filesystem here!"
I think that the system still thinks that mdadm still has some weird control of my drives and won't release them. Never mind that all I want to do even now is just make a RAID-5 volume. I've never had such difficulty before.
I suspect that one of the disks is broken in my lvm setup. I need help verifying this. The only trouble is that everything looks okay in my eyes.
When i try to mount the logical partition. The system hangs.

I'm trying to mount an LVM2 volume, but all the instructions I see online say to mount the Volume Group, such as 'mkdir -p /mnt/VolGroup00/LogVol00'but I don't know how to figure out the name of it. I see the drive in Palimpsest, and that's all the info I know.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have three partitions in my disk (Ubuntu, Debian, and Home).

I have a 2nd hard drive that I have encrypted using true crypt. Is it possible to set this up with key files (or some other way) to auto mount when linux boots. I need it in true crypt because there are some work programs I dual boot to use in windows, and need to have access to the drive in XP from time to time, and true crypt can mount there as well. But 90+% of my time is in linux and I would like to have it auto mount through fstab (or whatever way it needs to be). My entire linux setup has been set up with encryption through dm crypt and LUKS (except for /boot). So I would think having a key file stored on the computer and an auto mount fstab would be just as secure as however secure my LUKS setup is. So any way to auto mount a true crypt 2nd drive volume?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am not well versed in using Ubuntu. I was using Win XP Pro SP3 on my old machine. I decided to make the move to Ubuntu. No problem since all files on the primary drive of the old machine were just OS related. I kept all of the important stuff (music, documents, reg codes, etc.) The computer had no problem importing the songs on the external drive to the music library. I am playing songs and loving it. Now the problem... when I am starting with ubuntu I don't find the drive and I can't mount it.
I get a box stating:

When I installed Ubuntu, I created an 52 gb encrypted partition which shows up in the disk utility, and in the window that opens when I click on the "home folder" icon. I get my normal windows partition, and under that the 52 GB LVM2 partition. But when I try to access it, I get this error.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubunutu 10.04 Netbook Remix onto a Dell Vostro A90. During install I selected "Require my password to log in and to decrypt my home folder", and this is working great.
What I would like to figure out, is how to have a second encrypted volume that lives on my SD Card that is also decrypted automatically upon login.
I've tried a variety of things, but they all require me to re-enter my password at some point during the boot/login, once for user login and the other time to decrypt/mount the volume. I am trying to avoid this, and hopefully will only have to enter my password once. Maybe I can piggyback on the default Ubunutu home directory decryption and make it all appear seamless?

I am running wheezy + xfce. When I attempt to mount any external volume in Thunar, I get a message saying "Unable to mount-- not authorized." This is problem #1. A bigger problem that I think is related is my wireless. Logged in as a normal user, I cannot connect to any wireless networks using network-manager. My wireless card is functional and I can see all the networks around me, but when I click on one to connect, nothing happens. No password prompt, nothing. Strangely, when I log in as root, wireless works flawlessly. I am a member of the netdev group.
