Ubuntu Servers :: Make SSD Root And Mount HD Partitions / Filesystems
Jun 28, 2011I'm setting up an Ubuntu server to replace my aged Pentium IV Slackware box. It's a Dell Inspiron 560 with modest core-2 duo processor, 8 gigs of ram, and a pair of good sized hard disks. I came upon a good deal on a couple of 40gig Intel SSDs. I'd like to use one in the server. I'd like to use the SSD for the relatively invariant stuff, because they write slow, and are life-limited in the # of writes. So:
/bin
/usr/bin
/boot
/etc
/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib
/mnt
/opt
The best way IMHO to achieve this would be to make the SSD the root, and mount hard drive partitions/filesystems to it to places such as:
/var
/media (Here you read and write giant files. Hard disks do this just fine. One will work especially fine if one particular hard drive is dedicated to this.)
/root
/home
/tmp
A quick "df" yields a list of filesystems. There are four that are not tied to any device!
/dev
/dev/shm
/var/run
/var/lock
(df also discloses that the root filesystem is presently standing at 502megs. Guess it'll fit in a 40-gig SSD). These deviceless filesystems worry me. Are they created magically on boot? What's required to make the system magically create them on boot? If I copy the filesystem over to the SSD and redo the grub config, will it Just Work? Web searches reveal subtleties WRT mount points.
Ubuntu Servers :: Unable To Mount Usb Printer
Apr 29, 2010I am trying to mount my usb printer in Ubuntu Server 9.10. I'm trying to do this so that the usb printer will be picked up by vmware server so the Windows XP guest I have on there will then be able to access the printer as if it were hooked up to it directly. I found a few posts online and this is what I've done so far. I found in a couple of posts that they said I should uncomment out the following lines in /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh. Well I found that the file didn't exsist. Someone posted up their copy of it so I copied that code into the mountdevsubfs.sh script. That code is the following:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: mountdevsubfs mountvirtfs
# Required-Start: mountkernfs
# Required-Stop:
[code]....
I also added this line to the bottom of my /etc/fstab file
Code:
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto 0 0
When I go ahead and run the script it errors out on this line:
Code:
. /lib/init/mount-functions.sh
I went to go look in /lib/init and the mount-functions.sh script doesn't exist. I've googled this and I haven't been able to find anything. why am I missing /lib/init/mount-functions.sh and how can I get that script?
Ubuntu Servers :: VMWare Guest - VFS Unable To Mount
Jul 21, 2010I've built a customized 2.6.32 kernel over Ubuntu 10.04 server (physically) -note: it is the same version that comes with the livecd-. Then I added my stuff, cloned the disk, applied it to 3 different hardware boxes and it works perfectly. But when I put that image on a VMWare Workstation 7.1 or VirtualBox machine it doesn't load... I get a "kernel panic: not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block 0,0". So, I've created a new vm, I've installed ubuntu and it booted without a problem.
I ran my kernel patching as I did on the physical machine, but when I rebooted with the new kernel, I got the same error. So, the problem seems to be something in the customized kernel, but specifically going over virualized copies. By the way - In a previous version, specifically Debian 5 with kernel 2.6.18, I did the same stuff about a year ago and the machine loads perfectly in any virtualized environment. Then, the only thing left to think about my problem is that some grub parameter or kernel driver or something is messing up with booting. The customization of the kernel is only the patching for IMQ stuff.
Ubuntu Servers :: Unable To Mount NFS4 Driver?

Ubuntu Servers :: Unable To Mount New Storage / Enable This?
Aug 24, 2011My 11.04 installation is running beautifully in VM on ESXi. I'm trying to add storage so I added the disks, assigned them in vmware to the vm, then tried to mount them when I received the error code...
my setup:
HP Microserver, booting vmware from USB drive. Hardware RAID card (Adaptec RAID 2405), 2 x 250GB HDD in RAID1 (datastore1) with VM's, 2 x 2TB HDD in RAID1 (datastore2) - the storage I'm trying to add.
A search of the above errors yielded many results, all of them were different scenarios to mine.

Feb 10, 2011I am running an Ubuntu Server on a VirtualBox VM running on my windows machine. So I've created a self-signed certificate using the following tutorial: [URL]
From this tutorial I'm left with 3 files:
server.key
server.csr
server.crt
Then I found this very similar tutorial that has an extra bit on installing the certificates in apache: [URL] So I followed it's instructions which boil down to this:
[Code]...
So I'm thinking this should work now. However in Chrome I get: SSL connection error Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have. Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error. IE8 gives me a typical "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" Note that [URL] fails while [URL] works fine, so it's definitely something in my ssl setup I'm thinking.
Ubuntu Networking :: Unable To Mount Location / Failed To Mount Windows Share
Jul 26, 2010I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 running Ubuntu v10.04 with a wireless card.My desktop is a Dell Optiflex running WinXP.The desktop is connected via ethernet cable to a Linksys wireless router. Certain folders on the desktop are set for sharing. Up until early last week I was able to access the desktop folders from the laptop with no issues.Suddenly I am now getting this error "Unable to mount location Failed to mount Windows share" whenever I try to access the desktop folders from the laptop.I suspect an upgrade is the culprit, but not sure.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Mount A USB Drive In Rc.local With /sbin/mount And UUID Instead Of Fstab?
Feb 6, 2010I run a headless Ubuntu 8.04 server, which acts as a web, email and file server. I am sticking with 8.04 as it is a LTS release and will upgrade to the next LTS when it is released.
I have two external USB drives, that I need to mount at boot. I have been using /etc/fstab up until now, with the following entries:
Code:
However, as I gather from doing searches is quite common, occasionally I get an error during boot (causing the system to drop to a recovery shell) because the USB drives take time to wake up and the system hasn't found them by the time it reads /etc/fstab.
From doing searches, it seems there is nothing you can do to fstab to fix this, so you need to mount them using an rc.local script instead, using:
Code:
The problem is, as I have two USB drives, their /dev/sdxx location changes between boots. I thus want to use UUID codes as I do in fstab, however I haven't found anything about this.
Does anyone know how I can use the mount command and UUID to mount a drive in rc.local and what options I have to use the mount the drive with the same options that I am using in my fstab entry? Obvisouly, I can't refer back to fstab using the mount command, because then I will still get the boot error issue if they are listed in fstab. And there is no space internally for the USB drives as there is already two internal drives.
Ubuntu Servers :: Mount Does Not List CIFS Mount Options On 10.04.2 LTS?
Apr 4, 2011Linux box info: root@mytestbox:~# uname -a Linux mytestbox 2.6.32-30-generic-pae #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 23:01:33 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
Windows box info: Windows Server 2008 SP2 Enterprise I've verified via --verbose output that mount.cifs is indeed processing the passed on options.
root@mytestbox:~# mount -t cifs //10.1.1.10/Test /root/testwin --verbose -o credentials=/root/testcreds,rw,nocase,noperm,noacl,nounix,noserverin o,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
[Code]...
Yet, when I type mount all it reports is (rw,mand). The share works just fine, and I can see the masking (all files are showing as rwxrwxrwx as expected etc) but mount is not listing the options?!
Is this normal expected behavior? Is there a bug report on this? I've google'd to the best of my capabilities and could not locate any such information which is why I decided to hit the forums prior to filing a bug.
Ubuntu :: Unable To Mount Internal Drive - Error: Mount Exited With Exit Code 1: Helper Failed
Aug 5, 2010I have 2 internal drives. One is for the OS and one is for the Data. I tried to get the Data drive to mount automatically at login using some crap I found on a linux blog. Safe to say it didn't work and now I can't mount it with the OS on the OS Drive.
It mounts from a live CD and all the data is perfectly safe. When I try to mount the drive I get this error message: "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/data" What have I done wrong and how can I make it mount again? Preferably this time at login.
