Ubuntu :: Swap Partition Access / Cant See That Partition
May 21, 2011I've recently just installed ubuntu 11.04 but seem to have made a big mistake. During the install process I was asked to specify a location to be used for swap. Not really understanding what this meant I chose another partition on my drive with some free space but also a lot of my data. Needless to say I now cant see that partition. Is there anyway for me to access it? or to at least recover the information I need from there? its about a 200gig partition, and it used to be ntfs.

Ubuntu :: Unable To Access Partition?
Jun 7, 2010Is there any point of installing Samba when dual booting between ubuntu and Windows XP? I'm able to access my XP partition from Ubuntu with no problems and share files with no problem. Unfortunately it doesn't work the other way. When I'm in my XP partition I'm not able to access my Ubuntu partition. Is there another problem I have or something else I need to do?
View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: How To Access Windows Partition
Oct 18, 2010I have a desktop, a cellphone. I do NOT HAVE a disk drive, a USB stick or anything of the sort.
The desktop has two operating systems on a single hard drive: Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7. I need to get internet access in Windows 7.
The cellphone is a Galaxy S Vibrant, and is tethered so that I can connect to the internet through it. In Ubuntu, the tether is automatically supported. I just shove a USB cable between the cellphone and the phone and I've got internet in Linux. But in Windows, the tether needs drivers. I can't connect to my phone in Windows without them.
So, I pretty much have to put the installer in Windows from Linux, so I can run it, have internet in Windows and not get fired tomorrow.
I have $0, so picking up (or borrowing) something I can use to talk between the two computers is not an option.
But in Ubuntu, I do not see my Windows partition. It's not in media and it's not in mnt.
What can I do to get a damn file over to Windows?
Note in bold and italic to show that it's important: NTFS-Config only shows my Ubuntu drive, it seems.
EDIT: Oh boy, I screwed up.

Jan 1, 2010I have dual-boot XP/Karmic.I have an external HDD for backup. One partition is NTFS for the XP stuff. The second partition is ext4.I was practicing with the SystemRestoreCD, which provides a Linux root console.I can create and delete directories on the ext4 partition, but not on the NTFS partition. The error message says "read-only file system".I tried to use chmod and chown to change permissions and owner.I assumed that as root, I could do anything.How can I access the NTFS partition, and do anything that I need to do?All my current XP stuff on the HDD was backed up from within XP, using standard software (Cobian Backup), and normal user privileges. But I want to practice for when my XP OS is damaged.

Oct 3, 2010I installed Ubuntu 10.10 to dual-boot with XP Home on my Asus 1005HA netbook. The main hard drive is an OCZ Vertex 2 SSD. I've tried all the common tools for accessing the Ubuntu partition from inside XP, but none of them appears to work. Ext2IFS didn't let me assign drive letters - in fact, it doesn't seem to detect the Ubuntu partition at all. The Ext2IFS config tool in Control Panel looks like this (the SSD is 120 GB, and the Linux partition is 10GB as I recall):
explore2fs doesn't even start. Linux Reader can't open any drive, including flash drives and external HDDs.
I can't think of anything irregular about my system except the SSD. Could that be it?
Ubuntu :: Could Not Access Contents Of A Mounted Partition?
Jan 4, 2010I had my hard disk partitioned as below:-
Size Label Mount point File system
52 GB Multimedia /MM ntfs
52 GB Backup /ABackup ntfs
52 GB Extras /Extras ext4
27 GB root / ext4
60 GB home /home ext4
The problem is that I cannot access the /MM and contents. I tried Properties > Permissions and changed applied the changes to subfolders and contents too. Now I can access /MM but not the contents. All are marked with a lock logo.There are numerous folders/files.Changing the permissions individually is a hectic work.possible to do it in a command line/script?
Ubuntu Security :: Access Partition From Another Machine?
Jan 18, 2010I have installed an Ubuntu server and it running OK. Before making it a production server, I want to make sure one day if the OS corrupts accidentally, I can still access the users' files on the hard disk.
I burned a Ubuntu desktop live CD, and booted it with this machine. There are 2 hard disks on the server, both could be mounted automatically. However, I can only access some folders like lost+found.
The questions are:
1. how can I access the other folders, given I have the root password of the server.
2. is there a way to access all folders without knowing the users + passwords?

May 4, 2010I have installed 10.04 on my MacBook Pro 6,2, and am trying to access some files stored in my User directory on the OS X partition of the laptop. I get a permission-denied error, but I figured this was a similar issue to the one mentioned in the stickied "How to Install Ubuntu 9.04 on Intel-Based Macs" thread.However, the suggest fix,Code:sudo usermod -u 501 -g 20 richarddoesn't exactly work for me. I tried this, but found myself suddenly logged out of my main account. On the log-in screen, only my second account showed up. Luckily, I was able to log into that, and re-usermod my main account back to it's original userid number.I am guessing that my strange error had to do with the abnormal (for ubuntu, at least) userid?

May 23, 2010I have a dual boot machine and recently did a fresh install of 10.4. It no longer asks for a password to access the Windows partition and I full access to it. This seems insecure to me and was wondering if someone else came across this. I thought I saw this topic discussed before but I can not seem to find it now. Is this a bug or a new unpleasant feature?I don't think it makes a difference but I do have a separate encrypted home partition on this fresh install. I have also done two fresh installs. (Well three...once testing out KDE but didn't try the Win partition. )

Sep 12, 2010I installed Ubuntu using the WUBI.EXE installer and everything worked fine until I forgot to uninstall Ubuntu before I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate. Now I am running Windows 7 and cannot access Ubuntu or get rid of it. So I have a partition on my harddrive with memory I cannot access. I want to somehow get rid of Ubuntu and give that memory back to Windows. [I can see the Ubuntu boot option but I cannot access it]. Upon selecting the Ubuntu option (Windows is the boot manager BTW) I get this message.....
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings and click "next."
3. Click "Repair your computer"
If you do not have this disc, contact your computer administrator or manufacturer for assistance.
File: /wubidr.mbr
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
However Windows Runs fine, I just cannot access Ubuntu.

View 5 Replies View RelatedRed Hat / Fedora :: Access A Partition Within LV
Feb 9, 2011I have several disks in one large raid5 array, which is /dev/md127.This one raid device is using lvm2, and is a physical volume in a volume group called lvm-raid.I then have many logical volumes within this volume group for various things, including virtualization.I have a VM (using kvm for full virtualization, set up using the graphical virt-manager) which uses one of these logical volumes as its disk. From the host, this logical volume is /dev/mapper/lvm--raid-lv_webserver, with a major number of 253 and a minor number of 6.
ical volume.
I am thinking I need to use mknod to create /dev/mapper/lvm--raid-lv_webserver1, but I cannot figure out the appropriate major and minor numbers to use. When I test is with a mount command, it always tells me "mount: /dev/mapper/lvm--raid-lv_webserver1 is not a valid block device". how do I access partitions within a logical volume?
Hardware :: Cannot Access LVM Partition
Mar 4, 2011I just made some partition changes to my laptop (wiped ntfs partition clean) and afterward my / file system will not mount. My partition layout is still the same but somehow my Logical Volume doesn't realize it's a logical volume anymore. What's stranger, though, is that my /boot partition in the same LVG is unaffected and I can boot just fine. I just get a failure when it comes time to mount the / partition.
Of course I recently deleted my / backup and all I have is a /home backup now. This means I don't know how the heck I'm supposed to find the partition metadata or UUID. I would gladly pay for software to get this fixed now because I need the information on that drive. I have to use this laptop for my Java and C++ classes and I'm already 2 days late on a C++ project.
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# dd if=/dev/sda6 of=/tmp/LVM2.dd bs=512 count=48 | strings
48+0 records in
48+0 records out

Ubuntu :: Can't Access Data On Mounted Partition After Upgrade To 10.04
May 4, 2010Yesterday, I upgraded to the 10.04 verion of xubuntu. Looks fine. However, I keep my data on an NTFS partition of my dual boot laptop, and am finding that I can't access it.
