I have the French ISO files for rosetta stone and to install them I need them to be mounted as a CD so the actual program will find them and extract them. I attempted using Furius to shove them in a loop and that didn't seem to work.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI don't know anything about Unbuntu I installed it because I had a virus and I didn't have a copy of windows. I have an extra HD with lots of media on it. At first it seemed to show up but then it disappeared. I did the sudo commands and the disk shows up as sdb. I have no idea what I am doing or what to do and all the guides keep talking about adding partitions and programs I have to dl from the net. This is a stand alone computer with no net connection.

View 1 Replies View Relatedsyslog, 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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to mount some CIFS shares (NetApp) to my Ubuntu 11.04 desktop (64-bit).I am mounting it as a domain user with admin rights and full control over the share.ter mounting it as root, all the files are owned by root and I can't modify them from my non-root user.Here is how I am mounting the share:
mount -t cifs -o domain=example,username=example-user,password=mypassword //myfiler.example.com/myshare$/mydir /mnt/myshare/
This share is a qtree under a volume with security type set to NTFS. (Although I have also tried security type = Mixed) We don't configure user-level access to shares on the filer, we create directories and lay down permissions on those from the Windows side. (Although I have tried explicitly adding my domain user to the access list for the share)
I want to mount my partition that was previously under Windows. I have mounted it through YaST2 to /docs with ext4, made formatting, the folder is shown, but I can not create any file or enter any folder on it (however I can enter folder /docs where only 1 folder "lost and found" exists.

I have a question?! have a linux server which was administered by my good friend who has passed away and I have been asked to take over. the server has debian installed (installed oct 2008 and would have been the latest version) and I am looking to backup the smb shares to a external usb disc. I have formatted and mounted the disc and found a script he wrote to automate the backup run from a cron tab. Looking through the script the mount commands dont look quite right to me particulary as the owner will swap drives every day. everything else appears to be working fine! the command to mount in the script is'
mount /mnt/usb
and unmount;
unmount /mnt/usb
I think it should be' mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb
and to unmount . umount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb
am I talking nonsense here or I on the right track?
First of all, in whether I have interpreted this correctly: [url]
Where we want all users to be able to restore backups. This involves nfs exporting and mounting the backup directory ON THE SAME MACHINE, no...?
I have been trying to fix this all day, and can't figure out why its not working.
All my /etc/fstab /etc/exports /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny must be correct as the file mounts (after booting, but NOT ON booting) with:
All the necessary (I think) services are starting on boot:
On bootup I receive the error:
Code:
I have other filesystems mounted from another server which all mount fine. Its just this one.

I'm getting this error while booting.
Just the last day or so, I've noticed a long pause when I boot my laptop, with lots of disk activity. dmesg says:
[Code]...
Why would there be a 15-second pause (during which the disk is slammed) between mounting root and mounting swap? During this time I see nothing but a blank purple screen, there are no cycling dots or text scroll. Is this normal and I'm just freaking out over nothing because there's no indicator of progress?

I am having permissions errors every time I try to mount a windows host. I have a linux server and all the windows computers can see that computer and its files, but we wanted to start backing up the linux machine to one of our other computers. so I tried to mount one of the computers. here is the sequence of events:
Code:
$mount -t cifs //192.168.1.194/Admin$ /mnt/Anita-comp
password: (I have no password so I left it blank)
Mount error (13): Permission Denied
I tried all sorts of passwords we use around the office and none of them worked.
I then decided to try mounting one of our other computers. this one looked like it worked fine. no error messages at all. (I left password blank) so I look in my filesystem and the mounted drive is not in the /mnt/Anita-comp file. What gives?
I get a SD card. Put in the SD reader. It's empty. I go to my super-important-pictures-to-a-monthly-relatory folder and select all files. Select them for MOVE. Paste them on the SD card. When the move/paste process is finished, i click on the "Eject" button on top of the SD card name. Card's ejected. I can't access the card anymore. I take out the card and put on my other computer. From 300 pictures, there are only 10 available, the remaining ones are there, but with 0bytes and unrecoveable. I panic. I go back to my main computer, my pictures are not there anymore. The pictures were on the Home folder. I panic again. I reset the computer and boot on the LiveCD. I install foremost, scalpel, photorec and about everything till my USB drive complains about being filled up. I run everything and I can't recover my files. I'm in the danger of getting fired. Things like that makes Windows sounds more appealing. When you securely remove a pendrive, things get REALLY pasted there before screwing everything up with a removal.

i have Ubuntu 10.4 installed. i have a external hdd that is formated as HFS+.
When i connect it, nothing happens in ubuntu but the hdd lights up at least..
Heres the background: Im running 10.10 desktop on an Asus EeePC. Ive managed to rectify most common problems, but it will not mount a USB. It does not come up in the places menu - I have to manually mount it in the terminal.
However, i can only READ the documents, i cannot edit or save documents to the USB disk - it opens ion read only mode. (Im using open office 3.2 by the way).
I have tried doing this with a new document. It will not save, it is saying the location does not exist and cannot mount the USB. I know this is a mounting USB problem exclusively as it will save documents and allow me to edit them from the home folder, the desktop and the documents folder.
I have an 3.5 sata hdd that I use as a external hdd. Everything has been working fine untill last week I pluged it in and nothing will show up I cant get the option to mount it. When I open gparted, the blue LED will blink a few times on the hdd. When I go to change devices in gparted all I get is /dev/sda. If I plug in an thumg drive then I will get the options of /dev/sda and /dev/sdc. So I think that it knows that /sdb is there
ps. my friends thinks it might be a logical error, I'm not sure what that means.
How do i mount these they are in a separate computer

I've been having a nightmare mounting my iPod to 11.04. It's just one of the older 4gig ipods I've been desperately trying to mount on as my only computers run Ubuntu.
First it wouldn't even try, it gave me the superblock error. Then I stupidly proceeded to format the iPod with disk utility, thinking that the file format was to fault. Now, it does appear in my home folder, but clicking on the iPod icon, it gives me- "unable to mount Ipod : mount: special device /dev/sdc2 does not exist".
I detected a strange problem in my box , whenever I tried to open a VCD which normally a .dat files , the CD cant get mounted , so after long time , when I try to eject it shows , probably no media in the drive .
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a folder on my drive, which I would like to try mounting as a iso9660 cd. I've tried
mount -t iso9660 131/ ~/mnt/ -o loop
but mount complains that it is a folder. Is there any way to fake it into thinking it's a dvd? The contents a friend of mine copied are in fact dvd contents from a dvd, and I'd like to be able to view without opening up the "vob" files.
convince mount that a folder is a cd?
I'm using a software that needs to read data from a cdrom. The instructions say to mount the cdrom (mount /mnt/cdrom). I understand that I need to mount the cdrom to /mnt/cdrom. I created a folder "cdrom" under "mnt". Then I tried to mount the cdrom by typing:
sudo mount /media/ /mnt/cdrom/ This didn't work. Under "media" I have another folder with the actual cd content so I tried to mount it too, but again with no success. I keep getting an error that "media is not a block device". What I am doing wrong?
