Ubuntu :: Unable To Mount XFS After Electricity Failure

Dec 16, 2010

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64, with 2T HDD x5 grouped as RAID5 using RAID controller (dell perc 6/i), result in a 8TB disk, and I put it to a single partition in XFS. Just now one light bulb went wrong and caused whole house power fail, sadly during that time I'm copying some data to that partition. After I clear the power issue and turn on the computer, the partition still can mount, so I continue copying, and that gives me some IO error. I assume it is some kind of problem that need a file system check, so I unmount it, and run xfs_repair.

However xfs_repair shows the partition has not been unmount so I restarted the computer. After restarting, during the loading screen the system prompt me that it cannot find the file system, and I pressed 'S' to skip (btw 'M' for manually maintenance, but I didn't try) Then there comes the problem: the partition cannot be mounted anymore. I tried using palimpsest (the disk utility) to check, the partition shows normally (i.e., there's a 8T disk with a single partition in XFS), but when I try to mount it, the first time I click 'mount' results in nothing, repeat click will get an error 'The device is busy: A job is pending on /dev/sdb1'.

Checking the process running I found this:
process 'mount', status 'uninterruptible', command line 'mount /dev/sdb1', waiting channel 'call_rwsem_down_write_failed'.
Also other operations with that partition does not work, such as xfs_repair or mount, will just halt (and the waiting channel is 'get_sb_bdev')

Ubuntu Installation :: Shutdown - Restart Failure - No Sound And Unable To Mount After Upgrade

Jul 22, 2010

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 on a dual-boot system with Windows 7. Yesterday I upgraded from 2.6.32-23 to 2.6.32-24. After that, pressing the shutdown button and selecting shutdown or restart (whether on the login page or after I've logged in) will only bring me back to the login page. I can shutdown or restart if I do sudo shutdown now, but I'd prefer to use the GUI. Also, there is no sound now (not a big deal, but still not good). And I can't access my storage partition (not the windows7 partition, but a third ntfs partition with data on it). I get the error message that I am unauthorized to mount. I have the only account on this computer, so I should be authorized. This one is a HUGE problem for me, because I need to be able to access my data for work. None of these were problems before the upgrade.

Oh yeah, and quickstart is not enabled. Also, if I go to Power Management, and try to alter what to do when Power Button is pressed, my only option is Ask Me. I know these have been problems/solutions to the shutdown/restart problem in the past.

Hardware :: Automatically Powers Down The HDD After A While Of Inactivity To Save Electricity Or Disk Spinning?

May 29, 2011

I am curious about a particular matter. Recently I have purchased a small plug computer that I will use as a torrent server and networked file storage. The thing is I will attach an external HDD to this linux box. Now I am curious about something. The HDD is powered on while the box works, but once the work is done the disk seems to keep running and does not spin down automatically - even though there is no I/O happening.

My question is whether I should add a script that automatically powers down the HDD after a while of inactivity to save electricity or is it better to keep the disk spinning? How does spinning down a HDD affect its health?

Ubuntu :: Failure To Mount Root Device On Startup

Jan 14, 2010

Recently installed some minor software, some games and Ubuntu Tweak, I am not sure if that's what caused this issue or not. I shutdown after the installations, then when I tried to start back up the small, white ubuntu logo appears just like it normally does, then it just goes to a black screen. I turned off the computer and restarted in (Recovery Mode). It goes about its thing then it says it is waiting for root file system, then after about 30 seconds it says "Gave up waiting for Root File System" how to fix this without reinstalling?

Ubuntu :: Infamous Mount Filesystem Failure Message

May 9, 2011

I am on Mint8. Discovered that the error message was caused by the program thinking that the true date was 10 days ahead of the date that shows on the display. And the incorrect date goes right along, changing every 24 hrs, the true date never catching up. Short term solution was to set the date 1 yr ahead which then showed on the display. Long term (?) solution fsck eventually worked. We shall see how long.

Ubuntu :: Bash-completion + Mount = Failure To Complete Directories?

May 27, 2011

I've spent some time searching for answers to this and I haven't found much at all.Please feel free to post pointers to other threads that discuss this particular problem, if you find any.The problem is that in bash I want to mount an iso file to inspect the contents with the command:Code:sudo mount myCD.iso CDMount -o loopThe command works fine, but pressing tab to complete either the iso filename or the CDMount directory does not work. The completion suggestions I get are existing mountpoints which The completion suggestions should include the files and directories in the current directory. This worked with Ubuntu 10.04 and not with 11.04.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: 11.3 / Failure To Mount Sd Memory Card?

Jul 17, 2010

My SD card is recognised by OS 11.3 if it is inserted at boot up. If I remove it and reinsert it, the devise monitor states 'no devices plugged in'. This is a problem that I have also had (and reported in these forums) with 11.0, 11.1, 11.2.Now I notice that there is a section for 'removable devices' in the system configuration. But even if I click the box 'enable automatic mounting of removable media' and the sub-box 'automatically mount removable media when attached' the SD card is not remounted, there remain 'no devices plugged in'.

Ubuntu :: Unable To Mount Internal Drive - Error: Mount Exited With Exit Code 1: Helper Failed

Aug 5, 2010

I 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.

Fedora Hardware :: NVidia Driver Installation - Failure To Mount

I am a newbie to linux and having a hard time installing drivers for my card (gtx 260). I'm following this guide: [URL].

I've gone through this a few times, and each time when I think I've followed the steps and reboot, I get nothing. A blinking white cursor once and then a bunch of texts saying failure to mount and sleeping forever another time.

Hardware :: Hard Disk Failure: Couldn't Mount Because Of Unsupported Optional Features

Mar 22, 2010

One of my SATA hard disks stopped responding in the middle of a rsync file transfer to it. I had to kill the process. After that I am unable to mount that partition. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 version. Here are the error messages and what I have tried:

~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so

[Code]....

Here I am at a loss! Is there any way to force checking of the file system and to recover the data I have in there? I have tried the solution posted in [URL], but e2fsck -b <my superblock number> /dev/sdb1 shows "Journal version not supported by this e2fsck."

Ubuntu :: Unable To Play Audio CD's Or Video DVD's - Unable To Mount Disc: Location Is Not Mountable

May 24, 2010

I'm totally unable to play or mount audio CDs and unable to use video DVD's on my box right now. When I insert an audio CD I get a dialog box saying:

Unable to mount disc: Location is not mountable

and if I check messages in the Log File Viewer I see the following text repeated (save for the last line) a couple of dozen times.

Code:

on a similar but ultimately unrelated thread someone was asked to enter a few commands so I tried them and the following was the output:
