I've been having a lot of problems solving my HDD mounting problems and renaming. It finally worked, but I had to delete everything from fstab. As crazy as it sounds, it worked, when I turn my computer on, they automatically mount. They are all working fine. I will attach screen shots too. As you can see my fstab is blank, I was just wondering, is this a problem? Or is it totally normal?

What would be the best way list disk and partitions in the fstab file?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had two hd's in my box forever. for more space and backup reasons. Well I have started running the Debian Squeeze distro since December. I've had many issues, some are still unresolved. but now I'm running into major headaches with the fstab. Specifically dealing with/wondering why UUID's are used instead of the old /dev/hd? I was a little annoyed when I tried Kubuntu to find /dev/sd? used instead of /dev/hd? but that was workable. But the UUID's are a nightmare. Here's my problem.
My main box is finally giving up the ghost. The mobo is dying. So in order to do some tests I took my hd bundle (my two hard drives with their cables) physically out of the box and temp installed them in a test box. I wanted to do some benchmark and other tests. I got all kinds of errors. I found that the system wasn't recognizing the UUID's listed in fstab. My concern is when the new mobo gets here next week I won't simply be able to plug the hd's in like I always have been and just let Linux reconfigure itself (Debian used to be good about this). I really don't want to have to clean reinstall if it's not needed.
So for this I have two questions. WHY developers decided to drop using /dev/hd? or even /dev/sd? ?
And is it possible to revert fstab's listings back to the old /dev/hd? settings. In debian fstab had lines commented out showing how each partition was listed in it's /dev/hd? status during install.
I'm getting really sick of all these archane changes in ALL aspects of linux that don't seem to have any good explaination or need.
I've apparently changed my fstab file and now my boot drive fails to mount. The original file is still there "fstab.BAK". How do I rename the current fstab to another name and rename the fstab.BAK to fstab? Since this is read only in the /etc directory I have not been able to make this happen from a command prompt.

My general procedure is to look up for the new program name in the "applications" tab, but I know that won't always do the trick.

The uptime of my box is 22 days and the logs that were in it before I cleared it were from months ago.Is there a daemon I can check or another file I can mod to get logs writing again?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a small ubuntu server setup and I would like to create a directory that can be written to by a select number of users. I have a backup directory setup and I want to enable my account as well as three others to be able to read/write to that directory. So far I haven't had any luck.
The owner of the backups folder, a directory on a separate disk mounted under /srv/storage, was owned by root and under the root group. I added the group backups and then changed the backups directory group to backups. I then used chown to change the backups directory to 775 to enable group members to write to it. I then tried to touch a file in the backups folder but no such luck. I did notice that when I run groups, my user account isn't shown as belonging to backups but is shown under the /etc/group file. I even made sure the GID of backups is in fact below 1000.
Anyone have an idea on how to create a shared directory that everyone can create, modify and delete any file? I believe my problem is related to the fact that root is the owner of the backups directory.

i am write in the forum because i am a bit of resignated. i tried almost all distries and just suse i can install on my notebook without any problems. actually the install works on all other linux deviantes too but the boot records arent written - except for opensuse - but i dont like opensuse. ubuntu is the system which i have choosen and makes a very handsome impression to me. but back to the main problem my notebook is a sony vaio with 4x64 GB SSD cards. 2 ssd's - raid 1 with windows 7 and the other 2 ssd's (volume1) should be ubuntu. the devs are in /dev/mapper/isw_bic_fifbgib_Volume12 till volume 17
i tried to install the boot files to mbr, on volume1, volume2 to the /boot, to a sd card, to a memory stick but ubuntu wont boot from SSD. i just can boot with cd but its not a option for me.
I am posting a thread here for more help. I posted a thread about this problem [URL]..History: This was a clean install of 10.04.1-64b see attachments for lshw and lspci output. An updated bios was needed to be able to turn on the wireless chip, that was done following [URL].. see post #8 there is some issue, the manufacture removed the updated bios from the website.
If I was to guess it has something to do with driver rtl819xSE. I also noticed some 'static' at the lastmountpoints the usb drives. I think the problem here is that this would cause an idle drive never to park and sleep maybe shorted drive life, the logs would become over bloated with this spam, also eat up a battery on a laptop.
I recently downloaded a source file from [URL] and wanted to compile it for fedora. I found that the source was written for ubuntu as all the instruction in README file was for ubuntu machine. Can I compile the source for fedora?

I've been having trouble writing to DVDs on one computer, and I am trying to figure out whetgher the problem is hardware or software related, or, perhaps, both. The brasero CD/DVD writer puts the md5 checksums of each of the original files in a hidden file on the DVD. I think it then calculates the sums of the copies and compares, but the last time I did it, it told me it had permission problems with the drive, and that failed. When I put the DVD in, udev finds it and mounts it in /media with me as its owner. Apparently, brasero mounted it some other way, and presumably that caused the problem.
Secondly, after I brought it up again, I went into the /media mount point and did md5sum on the files there. One of them a gzipped tar file, produced and input/output error. Yet if I use cmp to compare that file with the original it finds no difficulty. So what is going on? Finally, I have tried to write shell scripts which use cmp to compare the original files with the copies. The general form is
cd XXXX
find $* >> /tmp/X
for i in `cat /tmp/X`
do
cmp $i YYYY/$i
done
where XXX is the mount point in /media and YYY is the original directory containing the relevant files. This works fine except that if the file names have spaces in them, the shell script treats each word as a new file name. So I need some way to arrange things so that `cat /tmp/X` returns the complete file name. Nothing I've tried works.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am a complete noob at this and I need a hand. I was about to throw my computer out of the window when I decided to throw the windows out of the computer so to speak. So, I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 and tried to install. I had a grub rescue after the installation (file system unknown), which I have seen discussed here. Being the noob that I am I decided to try 10.04 because it said it had full support. With this install I get a similar error during installation: grub cannot be installed in boot sector.
So, basically there is an issue with grub and the boot sector. I checked in my BIOS options to see if there was an option that prevented the writing of a boot sector or something, but I have not been able something like that. So, I am wondering if it is possible that Ubuntu does not really erase/format the selected disks or something, leaving any difficulty there.
Does anybody know? Or better yet: what exactly do I need to do a manual grub install?
I have 50 gigs worth of raw Digital Performer sd2 files originally saved on a fat32 external hd.
I don't have a spare fat32 laying around but I do have an ext3 disk (I run ubuntu 8.04 at home).
I have a feeling that saving these files to ext3 will render them unusable if they're ever transferred back to fat32.
I swear I've been burned by this before.
What would you do here?
Tar them first? A friggin dmg file?
I'm looking for a terminal emulator that does the same thing as gnome-terminal or konsole, except written in Java.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI went and fdisk'd a USB disk and put the Fat32 filesystem onto it. Then I thought I ran dosfsck over it which I thort formatted the disk - apparently not. Then I copied a bunch of files and directories to it. Now I am unable to recover the files and data. In the rare instances when I perform a sloppy mount I see directories named 001, 002, 003 and 004. These directories variously contain files named 001, 002, 004 (no 003) etc.
