Hardware :: Force The Installer To Accept Custom Partition Layout?
Dec 12, 2009Upgrading fc10 to fc12 with a fresh install. Made several partitions with fdisk. mkfs failed."Bad superblock at block 1.Need blocks 1 to 4 to create file system. Aborting.Tried mkfs -c, badblocks, dumpe2fs,no joy. No backup superblocks,because I had already fdisked.
Repartitioned starting at cyl 10. mkfs worked fine then. FC12 installer still could not initialise disk, however. I guess it looks at block 1, to initialise before it offers diskdruid, so it never gets to see my custom partition layout. How can I force the installer to accept my custom partition layout? Is a bad superblock at block 1 a fatal, throw-the-disk-away fault?
Ubuntu Installation :: Mount Or Not To Mount - Can't Create A Partition
Jan 2, 2010I'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.

Ubuntu :: Partition Is Slow To Mount
Jan 10, 2010I'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.
Ubuntu :: Cannot Mount Root Partition
Jan 13, 2010When I try to boot I get this error message:
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the systemwait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
-Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/c946b41f-2f8f-4a28-8478-11a50d6fc0e8 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
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.
FYI Acer Aspire 7535G Kubuntu 9.10 AMD64

Ubuntu :: Set Up Boot Partition To Not Mount
Jun 19, 2010I 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.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Can't Mount Its Own Partition (/dev/sda1)
Feb 26, 2011I turned on my laptop today and noticed a load of unfamiliar startup text so I knew something was wrong. Now whenever I startup my laptop, GRUB loads fine but when I try to start Ubuntu it says the following:
Quote:
mount : mounting /dev on /root/dev failed : No such file or directory
mount : mounting /sys on /root/sys failed : No such file or directory
mount : mounting /proc on /root/proc failed : No such file or directory
[code]....
so all I'm left with is this BusyBox command prompt. I'm on a live Ubuntu CD right now and if I try to mount /dev/sda1 either in the terminal (with the mount command) or with the GUI it just gets stuck.
Quote:
This will provide you with a list of your drives and partitions, you need to pick the one that your root file system is installed to, it will be something like /dev/sda1 but in my case I can't even mount /dev/sda1. When I run sudo fdisk -l heres what I get
Quote:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
[code]...
thats weird because I rebooted with a live Ubuntu CD and didn't even try to mount /dev/sda1 this time. The instructions were to then try to mount the drive from the GUI so heres what happens when I do that: it attempted to mount it for about a minute then gave me this error message When I tried again heres the error it gave me The problem seems to be that /dev/sda1 can't be mounted for some reason.
I don't know what that error message means and I don't know what else I can do to further diagnose /dev/sda1 and find out why it can't be mounted. Ordinarily I'd just reinstall Ubuntu but I have a couple of lab reports that I had saved on that partition so I'm in trouble if I can't figure out how to access the partition.
EDIT: At the end of that other thread someone recommends to use testdisk to recover the data from the partition. All I really need to do is get those lab reports back but I had them saved inside a Windows 7 guest on Virtual Box. Will this complicate matters a lot for me?
UPDATE: I tried to reinstall Ubuntu and it wouldn't work. Seems this is a bigger problem than I suspected. Does this mean my harddrive is corrupted? I can still use the Windows 7 partition but I take it that the Ubuntu installer not working is a bad sign.

General :: Unable To Mount Ubuntu Partition
May 9, 2011I was dual-booting Ubuntu (10.10) and Windows 7. I installed Backtrack in addition to these 2, and the Ubuntu GRUB was replaced with the one from Backtrack.
Now when I boot, only Backtrack and Windows 7 are listed in GRUB. When I run fdisk from Backtrack, I see all partitions, and running a Partition Manager lists the Ubuntu partition as a Linux partition. However, the partition manager says that it is unable to read the contents of the partition, and that it is unable to re-read the partition table.
Also, the Ubuntu, Backtrack, and Linux Swap partition are all listed under the same Extended partition.

Mar 28, 2010recently i was trying to mount my partition automatically at start up ...so i gone through some tutorials on the net nd made some changes in /etc/fstab file (i made a back up before making any changes). when i was changing permissions of folder in which i tried to mount my all partitions i got my system screwed up.then it was showing following error at start up and GUI was not turning up. "could not update ICEauthority file " also my sudo was not working so first i restored original fstab file through recovery console then i googled out about above errors. I found some solution now my system is working but showing strange behaviour like:
> ubuntu is not detecting any of my hdd partition
> disk utility is not working (showing no error)
>fdisk -l shows nothing
> no new software is getting installed via ubuntu software center (shows no error when clicking on install but nothing turns up)
>i cannot restart or shutdown my system from GNOME it only logs off my session (although through terminal its working)
>no media player showing sound controls enabled
>gnome not showing ethernet or sound volume icon in upper panel (although net is working)
>users and groups from system->administration menu is not working (error:cannot load configuration)
i think most of the administrative tasks are not working.........i googled out but found nothing satisfactory..i dont want to reinstall it, coz i m not very experienced with linux n it took about a whole month to customize my ubuntu 9.10 on my college internet...
Ubuntu :: Can't Boot - Need To Mount Encrypted Partition?
May 2, 2010Times like this Ubuntu makes me want to pull my hair out. When I enter my pass on the login screen, it brings up a "Could not update ICEauthority file" error and then goes to a black screen. I've tried to fix this problem for the past 2-3 hours (searching google, these forums, etc) and at this point, I just want the data off my drive so I can restart with a fresh install of Ubuntu. I used the "gsku nautilus" command to mount the disk from a Ubuntu Drive boot, but it's not letting me have access to the encrypted drive. Does anyone know of a work around for this?
