Ubuntu :: Missing All Files On Secondary Drives?
Jan 28, 2010
My system is setup like this: 1 250 gb HDD, with a 20 gig partition for /, 200 gigs for /home and the rest is a swap file. I also have a 1 TB (ext3) and 1.5TB (ext4) hard drive that are also installed, mounted to /Shared_1TB and /Shared_15TBI just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and everything seemed to be fine. I installed all the updates, install the Nvidia proprietary drivers and got my HDMI audio working. I went to try and play a video to see what would happen.... there are no files in /Shared_1TB. It is totally blank. I tried making myself the owner, and while this worked it didn't help anything. I tried unmounting and remounted, however it kept saying it was busy and wouldn't remount it. At this point I was a little panicked, so I threw in a LiveCD and low and behold once I mount it in the LiveCD all my files are there.

I am learning software raid 1 with centos 5.5. I created the raid with out any problems and removed the first drive to check there was no problems and it booted. I have installed the old drive back in the system as hdc and need to resync the drives (used old drive as partitions correct) I thought I could use raidhotadd but id does not seem to exist anymore. how I resync the drives in the array hda primary and hdc secondary using mdadm

This is probably a stupid questions but it's a pet peeve of mine. I have three hard drives you have to actually open them before they show up in other areas/on the desktop.Is there a way that when ubuntu starts they just automatically are detected?

So, at the moment I have a 7TB LVM with 1 group and one logical volume. In all honesty I don't back up this information. It is filled with data that I can "afford" to lose, but... would rather not. How do LVMs fail? If I lose a 1.5TB drive that is part of the LVM does that mean at most I could lose 1.5TB of data? Or can files span more than one drive? if so, would it just be one file what would span two drives? or could there be many files that span multiple drives drives? Essentially. I'm just curious, in a general, in a high level sense about LVM safety. What are the risks that are involved?
Edit: what happens if I boot up the computer with a drive missing from the lvm? Is there a first primary drive?

Is it possible to somehow setup a secondary group of log files that log every action taken on the server where your average user wouldn't know that they're being logged. Perhaps if a hacker got in and messed around or something you'd be able to see what they did, but they wouldn't have permission to modify the file.

I've been running various releases of Suse Linux on my home PC for about 6 years (currently running Suse 11.2). The old hard disk in that machine is starting to experience read errors, so I bought a new disk to put into the PC which otherwise works fine.
So I figure now is a good time to give Ubuntu a try. I plan to install the KDE version of ubuntu on the new drive, but once that's finished I will want to mount the old disk and copy as much as I can off of it onto the new disk (JPEGs, old documents, stuff under my home directory.
The old disk uses Reiser. I have read various threads concerning problems with mounting Reiser FS disks under ubuntu, but many of them are old so it's not clear to me what the current status of support for Reiser in ubuntu is.
I am planning to do the following:
1) Remove the old disk from the PC, put the new disk in its place.
2) Install kubuntu on the new disk.
3) Put the old disk back into the machine along with the new one with the old one being the slave/secondary disk so that when I power up the machine, it will be running ubuntu off of the new disk.
At this point I will want to mount the old disk so I can then start copying files off of it.
What do I need to do to mount the old disk, keeping in mind it uses the Reiser file system?

This is driving me mad, so bear with me. I'm not sure this is a Slackware issue, in fact I'm sure it's not, but you all have helped me in the past so it seems like a good place to start. Also, I don't really know exactly how much of this information will be completely relevant to my problem, but I really can't pin it down.My server is running 64 bit Slackware 13. It was running fine, mainly just serving files on the LAN, with some occasional SSH activity. I was slowly moving hard drives to it from my desktop system (all 1 or 2 terabyte drives). They were previously formatted with NTFS and were filled with files, so it took me a while to move data around, format a drive, and copy the data back. I decided to use ext4, for no particular reason other than it was the newest, so if I end up having to reformat these again, I'm open to using another filesystem. Right now, I've got two 2TB drives and three 1TB drives, but one of those is still NTFS, so it is of no concern at the moment.
At this point, I had just added the two 2TB drives to the system. These happened to be the new WD Advanced Format drives with 4k sectors. I found a way to manipulate fdisk so it would start the partition on the correct cylinder or whatever to take advantage of the new format. I also ended up using GPT instead of MBR because it had more usable space.
two 2TB drives, GPT, ext4, 4k sectors
two 1TB drives, GPT, ext4
one 1TB drive, MBR, NTFS (not important)
This setup was working fine for a few days until I had to take the server down to move some wires around. When I booted the server back up, I discovered the two 2TB drives were missing. They showed up in /dev but wouldn't mount.

How to properly integrate these RPMs into our system?
Option 1: we could take those missing OS RPMs and install them?
Option 2: can we package the missing files from missing OS RPMs into the existing Linux-xxx.rpm?

I changed to wubi last night, i decided to go that way cause i was informed it was a safe way to try giving it a try for linux and ubuntu without any special effort needed to be payed and easily deleted if i am not pleased.Thankfully i am pretty satisfied with the results, i pretty much dealt with most of the issues i have faced so far successfully and i am running it ok beside one important thing.See i am using my laptop, which has a hdd of 250GB.On my Vista there are 2 different hdd C+E by default, they separated my hdd.So while i have windows on C and E is pretty much used for my additional data(see movies, music etc) when i installed wubi i installed it on E, thought it would be better and it had more space.
Now though, while i can access threw ubuntu all my files that were located on C(vista) i cant access any of the E ones, and search file dont helps either.The "vista hdd" as ubuntu describes it, its a 250 gb disk on computer, which means it should contain both of the vista disks.But sadly thats not the case.i cant seem to be able to find them anywhere.

Our computer is loaded with Ubuntu, and my wife and I have separate accounts, which is fine. I have a backup drive with data and music and, if I want to reinstall or back something up, I have to log in as each user to do so. That is OK security wise, but I want to do a complete reload and would prefer to be able to access her home folder from my account, back it up to the other drive, reinstall and then copy everything back so she can use her files.
Also, I have a couple of files in my home partition that she wants access to occassionally. I would like her to be able to access my home directory to get to those files. If I put them on the backup drive, she cannot open them as I have the permissions. We also run KMyMoney, and would like to be able to use the same file whichever user is logged in.

I dual boot Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7 and am running EXT4 file system on the ubuntu partition.
When I try to save files in Ubuntu to the mounted drives that contain Windows and other data, it writes successfully but when I try to view it in Windows 7, I cannot see the written files.

syslog, messages and kern.log are incredibly huge files that are taking up a lot of space on my hard drive. Is it safe to remove them and/or to reduce logging so it doesn't take such an enormous amount of hard disk memory? If so, how can I reduce the logging so it doesn't produce logs that are 10s of GB in size?Also, mounting a drive places it into the folder /media. Will it become problematic if the size of the mounted drive exceeds the amount of free space available on my Ubuntu partition?

I have a set of Mac software RAID 0 drives that my friend gave me for spring break. I need to access a file on the drive in the Extra folder on one of the drives. It contains some startup settings that need to be changed before I can boot it properly. I loaded up ubuntu and tried to access the drive but only the top level files are readable and when I try to access the Extra folder it says "permission denied." The info on the folder permissions tab is User ID: 501 and Group ID: dialout. Owner permissions = r/w, all other groups/users = none. How can I make Ubuntu read/write to this Extra folder?

I am making the transition to either Ubuntu or Kubuntu in the next couple days. I have been running the Win7 evaluation version which is pretty much just Win7 Ultimate.Two are internal, four are external. All of them are NTFS. So are my pen drives (512MB and 8GB). Will these Linus distros be able to access these drives? If so, to what degree? Everything I have read online so far seems to give Linux a mixed track record when it comes to working around NTFS security, etc.

I have created 2 files and put them in a folder in ubuntu 11.04 64bit. The partition is ntfs and is shared b/w ubuntu and win7. The partition doesnot have win7 installed on it, win7 ubuntu and data partition are three seprate partitions of a disk. when i logged in win7 the files and folder newly created were missing. then i logged back in ubuntu and they were missing from there to.
I have edited /etc/fstab =>
"# data Drive
UUID=C8E8EC38E8EC2682 /media/data ntfs auto 0 1"
so that the partition mounts itself at boot up, thats it I do not specifically unmount it, i just shutdown the pc normally. also win7 is hibernated, but its on sda0 its a different partition.

Ok so I transferred about 6 or 7 gigs of music and videos to my laptop in 2 folders and 1 file just in the d:/ folder. This leftme with just one gig of space left on the drive. Now I turned of my computer and the next day when I turned it on, the files were gone or so I thought. The files are still taking up the space and when I tried defragging in windows, the files showed up under files not defragged and so did their old directories, but they still do not show up in ubuntu or windows explorer, I cannot navigate to them or open them, yet they are still on my hardrive and taking up space. How do I either get access to these files or delete them to free up space?

I have upgraded both my desk- and laptop to 10.04 a week ago, and with practically no problems. However, today both have problems during boot. It takes longer than normal and when I open the log-file I get a message "Could not open the following files". There is a long list of files in /var/log that couldn't be opened as "No such file or directory": pm-suspend.log, wpa_supplicant.log, syslog.0, jockey.log.1,kern.log.0, auth.log.0, daemon.log.0,debug.0, messages.0, dkms_autoinstaller and finally "/var/log/btmp: The file is not a regular file or is not a text file". Seems problem started after a kernel update today.

I had a drive failure on my media server. I have replaced the drive and since my backup was a bit out of date I lost some material.
I thought, no biggie, I'll get everything back in order and just use the Missing Files list in Rhythmbox to figure what's missing.
Problem. Though the file count diminishes as Rhythmbox scans the library for file changes, nothing is being added to the Missing Files list. I have done this on two machines (one the server itself, the other across a Samba share). Same behaviour.
I have never seen Rb count down files and not add them to the Missing Files list.

When I download something on ubuntu, I sometimes copy it over to my mounted Windows drive. When I then reboot into Windows, the files aren't there. They're missing. (It used to work before - now it's strangely stopped). When I log back into Ubuntu, the files are gone again!

Just completed downloading kubuntu-9.10-dvd-amd64.iso and found that a few files were corrupted. Would rather not download again since I have a slow connection and this download took almost 80 hours!!
Tried torrent---doesn't allow downloading files in the iso.
The corrupt files are listed at the end. Can some kind soul provide a link to these files?
1. ./install/netboot/pxelinux.0
2. ./pool/main/l/language-pack-ku-base/language-pack-ku-base_9.10+20091022_all.deb
3. ./install/netboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
4. ./pool/main/n/network-manager/network-

My computer crashes occasionally and all of the files that have been written in the last few hours seem to disappear. On XFS sometimes they turn up in lost+found after xfs_repair. The files in ext4 seem to be gone for good.Is there any way to force linux to flush the meta-data more often or something so my files stop disappearing?

I have tried to compile several programs from source code and have into a similar error in each case. I try make the program and I get an error like: fail program confsdefs.h. Reading further into the log file, I see there is a long list of missing library files when I compile something like Samba 3.5.x:
[Code]...
I have searched for dependency information and used apt-get to add anything I can find. How can I identify and find the dependencies for source? I have checked the source documentation though typically does not list required packages. My other question is how to check the path used to locate the libraries? Given the length of the missing library list, I think the problem may be configuring make.

Regardless of the fact that editing these files is necessary for good functioning of my system, my standard 10.10 ubuntu installation seems to lack these files:
XF86config
Xorg.conf
/etc/printcap
Am I the only one who witnesses this in ubuntu? Perhaps I need to apt-get install some things? Knowledge about these files is important for my study.
