Ubuntu :: Mount ISO As CD-rom Not As A Folder?
Feb 15, 2010
I can't run the Macrium Ubuntu Recover CD, it just fails for some reason. But I have Kubuntu 9.10 x64 freshly installed.
I was hoping if I could mount the Macrium Ubuntu Recovery ISO as a drive from within Linux it would "play" and allow me to recover my Vista backup.
I followed these instructions: Mount ISO as CD-rom not as a folder
It works, and the Iso is mounted, but I don't know what to do to get the now virtual "CD" in the virtual "drive" to "spin up" ... to "play"... that is, to "boot"... whatever you want to say.
I'm not trying to play a virtual CD or game, I'm trying to recover my Vista backup when I can't boot Vista.
(I'm actually trying this as an option. My Vista is currently running fine, I'm doing it in preparation for when Vista fails to boot next time ... like it did to me about a week ago.)

I'm installing things in a new Red Hat server and saw that the /var folder is full (100%). I need this folder to have more space or another kind of solution because this server is going to be used as a print server.

I just sat up an openSSH Server with Samba access and all, but don't think about that.here's my question, and as you read you may understand why I posted this instead of googling it, it's un-google-able.can I mount a regular folder like /media/disk1/random to 2 different places ? and if so here's the tricky part:
1: when I end up in that folder, I don't want the direction path to end up like this: /media/disk1/random IE: so I don't want a link to the other folder, I want the OS to think it's a regular folder (in lames terms)the reason is because I want my openSSH clients to move inside a small space, without jumping all over the place, and be able to use the (...) feature in the SFTP client.(don't think about the permissions their already set.)
2: I don't want it to be a synchronized folder, I want the data to be stored on /media/disk1/randomor else it kind of blows the whole file storage server idea straight out of the window.

I need to do the following things and googling didn't help much:
1.mount a volume(or windows share, whatever) into a non empty folder
2.both the original content of the folder and the content of the newly mounted volume is accessible
3.updated and newly created files can be written to the mounted volume or the original folder determined by something like a switch at mount time
4.if files with same names exist both in the folder and on the volume, then which file to be presented to the OS is determined by their last modified date/time.
any one can give a walk-through on how to achieve this?

I am trying to mount the device sdb in the folder /mirror so I issue the command dmd@dolly:/$ sudo mount /dev/sdb mirror. I would now expect to see the contents of sdb in /mirror but instead of mounting in /mirror it is being mounted in /mirror/mirror and the second mirror folder is created during the mount
dmd@dolly:/mirror$ ls - returns no results
I then say dmd@dolly:/$ sudo mount /dev/sdb mirror and look for my mounted files in /mirror and I see this
dmd@dolly:/$ cd mirror
dmd@dolly:/mirror$ ls
lost+found mirror (an additional mirror folder)
mount says
/dev/sdb on /mirror type ext4 (rw)
I'm sure I'm just doing something goofy or otherwise have screwed things up but I've tried this several times with re-boots in the middle and wherever I choose to mount sdb it ends up being mounted one level lower in a folder of the same name.

The solution may to my problem may exist elsewhere, but I had trouble searching/finding it.I just bought a new external drive. The drive is formatted as ext4. I use it mainly in esata mode. Whenever I connect it, it mounts to /media/[UUID], where "[UUID]" is the UUID of the drive. I want it to be located at /media/backup when it is inserted, not in relation the UUID. I have tried putting a new line in my fstab (mount by UUID to folder) to mount the drive. It mounts correctly if the drive is connected to the computer and turned on during startup, but if the drive is off/not connected during startup Ubuntu barks at me. (I press 's' to skip mounting the drive) Is there a way to make external/removable drives mount to a certain location other than /media/[UUID] when they are inserted? I want the drive to mount to the folder while the computer is running, not only during startup.

I'm successfully accessed a local Windows Share folder with the "Places --> Connect to Server" tool, but I can't figure out how to get it permanently mounted so that I don't have to keep logging in every time I boot up. I understand that the solution is supposed to involve adding a line to fstab, but I've tried a dozen variations on it based on various tutorials I've found online to no avail. Is there any way to check and see how the "Connect to Server" tool is doing its magic? Or to make that permanent?

I have an iPhone 3GS that was mounting a couple of weeks ago but now does not. Looking in /mnt I see a folder for the phone but the folder is empty. Phone is listed when I perform
Code:
steveneddy@machine:~$ mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
none on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
[Code].....
Also of note - I took a couple of photos off of the phone at work using an XP machine - just browsing the folder in Explorer, no iTunes. I believe this is where the trouble started. I will monitor this thread the best I can through the week and weekend - I will do my best to post any terminal output or commands at the earliest possible opportunity.

I've recently installed Natty and now I've got a problem mounting two of my partitions via fstab. This is what my fstab file looks like:
Code:
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
UUID=2ea65813-a227-405f-90d2-69598120808e / ext4 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUID=6e4f2339-b796-484e-9473-804b4db1531e /home ext4
[Code].....
I CAN mount them by first executing sudo umount -a (which tells me that the two partitions in question cannot be unmounted, because they are not mounted) and then sudo mount -a (which correctly mounts the two partitions). The mount does not work, if I omit the umount command.

I had my home folder on it's own partition, and I decided to do a clean install of 11.04. when I put the disk, when I went to configure the partitions, I I re-formatted the / partition, and I selected my home partition as my new home partition and I made sure the format was NOT selected. after everything got done getting installed and rebooted. 11.04 just creates a new home directory and does not use the whole home partition.
I still have my data saved on it, when I go to the disk utility it shows the same amount of used space before I did a re-installed. If I go to the files system and click on home it shows my user from the last install and it shows the user from the new install. when I click on the user from last install it shows 2 files: Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop
and: README.txt
get my home partition mounted for my home folder
also when I set up the new install I used the same password for access for the ring keys and for login

I'm looking for a central location on my network of 1 Karmic and 3 XP Pros for my Documents, Videos, Music etc.
I have an empty 1TB drive in my Karmic box currently formatted as one NTFS partition and I was thinking of mounting that drive in the Karmic /home folder.
Will Karmic be all right using an NTFS partition as the /home folder?

I have Ubuntu Server installed in one machine and ubuntu desktop in 3 more machines. What I would like to have is, authenticate the clients using a central user DB and also the home folder for a user should be available in any client machine in which he logs. I see that openLDAP takes care of authenticating clients but what application to use to mount the user's home folder from the server to the client machine on logging.

After buying an IBM/Lenovo USB fingerprint reader model FP06 and installing Fingerprint GUI, have problems to mount my home folder encrypted with eCyptfs. I was using it since the first time i install Ubuntu 10.10 64 bits. After login from GDM, there are some ways to make it work:
1) open a terminal window and type ecryptfs-mount-private. This decrypt the home folder, but need to logout and login again to my personal preferences can be reached (bookmarks in nautilus, in firefox, etc). Each time the PC is rebooted, the same process is needed to made again.
2) before login in GDM, change to a tty1 terminal (ctrl-alt-F1) and login from here. The personal folder decrypt then without problems. Then change to GDM (ctrl-alt-F, login an everything works fine. What could be the fault from GDM to not mount the encrypted folder?

I wanted to create an encrypted volume that was accessible from F12 and WinXP. Using RealCrypt, I created a volume on a NTFS partition and formatted it as NTFS.
mount point: /home/user1/safe
user dir: /home/user1/safe/folder
When I run:
[root@localhost ~]# realcrypt -t --mount --filesystem=ntfs /mnt/winshare/volume /home/user1/safe
The permissions for "/home/user1/safe" change from 755 to 700 and I am unable to access "/home/user1/safe/folder". Also "home/user1/safe/folder" changes owner and group to root with permissions of 700. My guess is that this is being caused by ntfs-3g, but how to pass on uid options in this example. Is this even doable?

I use F10 at home and while away from work on my laptop. Recently I could get the VPN sorted out ( I can now connect to the vpn (ppp0) server at work from home or anywhere else). I am trying to mount a windows folder that is on the work server on my F10 box at home through the VPN connection that is first established.What I know about the windws server
servername
sharename
username
password
When I try this
sudo mount -t cifs //pxxxx/home/abcd /mnt/dir/ -o username=abcd,password=xxxx
I get this error
mount error: could not resolve address for pxxxx: Name or service not known
No ip address specified and hostname not found
I think the VPN connection is established successfully. I have a ppp0 connection under ifconfig with an IP address after vpn connection is established.In windows I just map the network drive (\pxxxxhome) username=abcd, password=xxxx and mount the folder as "abcd on pxxxxhome"
