Ubuntu :: Unmounted Partitions Don't Show
May 4, 2010
I just upgraded from Karmic to Lucid and have the following problems:
(1) My unmounted partitions used to be visible in "Places" on the left of Nautilus, so I could mount them when needed, but now they are not there. Also,they do not show in "Computer" view
(2) When I open Disk Utility from System/Administration, there is nothing at all showing - it takes quite a while to start up, but when finally the window opens, no devices or partitions are shown.

I have been setting up my laptop as a dual boot with Win7 (yuckkk!) and Ubunutu 11.04. My HP Pavilion dm4 came with 4 primary partitions used by Windows! (Again, yuckkk!) I got rid of Windows_recover partition (I don't remember the exact name) converted that primary partition to an extended partition and then installed Ubuntu in virtual partitions. All that works.What I don't like is that the partition HP_TOOLS shows up in Nautilus, and if you click on it, it self-mounts and makes that partition accessible.

I have recently installed debian jessie on my laptop , during installation i didn't mount 2 of my partitions , now when i want to access them i have to give the root password every time i click on them , i searched the google , i found that i have to add a line in fstab file : so i i checked the partition that i wanted to mount (by typing fdisk -l) , and i added this line to the end of the fstab file :
Code: Select all/dev/sda3 /mnt/2 ext4Â users,noatime,auto,rw,nodev,exec,nosuid 0 0
(i had created /mnt/2 before ) ..... and this is the output of fdisk -l :
Code: Select allDisk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x4a373773
[Code] .....
After adding the line at the end of my fstab file , something strange happened , i rebooted the computer and mate didn't come up , it was a console like screen , i had to access fstab from there to delete the line and enter mate . i did this for 2 times and both times the same thing happened . How can I mount my partition permanently ?

I went to install the 10.10 RC yesterday but to my surprise when I got to the partitioning stage it showed up my drive as being blank, with no existing partitions.
Has anybody else had this issue? I'm not sure what to do as I had the same issue on the beta, I just assumed it would be fixed.
I have a 500GB Sata HDD and i'm running an AMD64 processor so the RC was the amd_64 version.

I am using direct mounts because I like being able to cd to the directory and use tab completion..versus indirect mounts where you can not do that since the directories are virtual.But, why does the /proc/mounts show these directories mounted(I have not cd to them)? Are they technically mounted? The reason why I use automount is because if I ever have power failures at least not all filesystems that are not being used will be unmounted and not corrupted.
Code:
localhost init.d # cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0

I am booting from a USB stick live CD image of Kubuntu 10.04 Beta. When I run the installer, and choose the "manual select partitons" option, it lists only my full hardisk, whereas I have atleast 5 partitions on it, and none are shown. Could anybody help me with this? I want to install on one of the partitions and leave the rest intact. I am dual-booting BTW.

I know I do fdisk -l /dev/sda and see all the partitions on that disk, and I know I can do mount and see all the mounted partitions. Is there a way to do both at the same time? Ideally what I'd like to see is the output of fdisk -l but with an additional column that shows if a partition is mounted or not.

Entries from fstab:
Code: Select allUUID=04E2891117C6D1E8 /mnt/Movies auto user,nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
UUID=22C19F6A209C7999 /mnt/Storage/ auto user,nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
UUID=366C25EB7664050D /mnt/Recovery/ auto user,nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
UUID=2983C8A82A5FEF6C /mnt/Down/ auto user,nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
The only one that shows in PCMANFM is the Movies partition. All others listed here are missing.
I checked syslog and it looks like they all mount correctly.
This puzzles me since all of them have the same options set.

On my desktop, I try to instantly put some disks into sleep using hdparm, for some tests. Though the disks are unmounted, they wake back up in seconds. How can it be? How can I track which process wakes a disk up with what operation? I think unmount disks should default to standby during system load.

I have two internal disks that are accessible from my ubuntu. I installed ubuntu using wubi, and those two disks are the same disks I use on Windows. One of the disks contains windows system files.These disks were easily accessible from ubuntu, I could mount/unmount anytime I wanted and had no problem with editing files. I did something I can't remember, I was just following some instruction trying to solve problem with my SD card reader. turned out it wasn't the right solution (but I fixed the SD card issue using some other instruction).

Typically when I'm given a SAN attached to one of my servers i'm not given any information on it. Usually I can get my with an fdisk -l to tell me what's out there. Twice now I've had to ask what the connection device is. What command can be run other than fdisk -l, I've seen something ran people by another guy but was not able to write it down at the time and have forgotten it.

When I remove "safely" my usb pendrive all my hard drives and partitions get unmounted. It's not permanent I just have to close the session and start again but sometimes it's kinda annoying because I'm in the middle of a lot of work and have to close everything... and if I'm working with a file in that drive sometimes I lose it...

I have a Debian OS installed (6.0), installed on a single partition, which was running out of space. So I copied all the data in /home to a spare partition, then edited fstab to mount this new partition as /home.
This works fine. But now of course I have the /home data both on the new partition (the one that is now being mounted and used), and also still on the original partition, though this directory is no longer mounted by the OS, so I can't directly 'get at' the data to delete it.
I could easily get into the partition from another OS and delete the unneeded /home data of course but I was just wondering; as this data is no longer 'seen' by the OS, will it be overwritten automatically by the OS when it needs more space, as it does with data that has been deleted from the filesystem, or would it be reserved somehow, still using up space?

I have two volumes, both with 800GB total used on them. lets call them /vol1 and /vol2. /vol2 is just a cron'd rsync'd copy of a folder on /vol1 which is a live share for many users.If I temporarily suspend the cronjob doing the rsync's from /vol1 to /vol2, is it safe to unmount and e2fsck /vol2, then remount it somehow?
Both /vol1 and /vol2 say the filesystem state is not clean when i do a tune2fs -l on them both. According to tune2fs both will check themselves upon restart, but if I can do /vol2 since it isn't the live data beforehand, that will cut my downtime in half the next time i restart the server.But I also wonder that if I can do this, then i remount /vol2, will the "not clean"-ness of /vol1 just be rsync'd back over to /vol2 the next time the rsync runs?

From the graphical desktop, click on:

I have a dual boot laptop Ubuntu 10.10 + Windows XP. When browsing my Windows C Drive in Ubuntu I decided to create a share to the windows "my documents" folder. The problem is that the windows drive is not automatically mounted at launch of ubuntu and as a result I get the following errors:
Code:
Could not find "/media/14F0AD48F0AD30C2/Documents and Settings/Lucas Redding"
and a search box is launched (See Attached Image).
I have tried to look at the Samba and Nautilus settings but I am unable to find any that automatically mount the windows drive.

Under KDE (3.5) in Lenny, whenever I "safely remove" a SD card, I get the following message
"The device was successfully unmounted, but could not be ejected"
The message is obviously ridiculous, and the crashing windows error sound that accompanies it very annoying.

How can I see all the physical hard drives on my Ubuntu system — regardless of whether they're mounted — as well as their partition info, sizes, &c.? I have three physical drives, but only one seems to be mounted. I'd like to mount the other ones too, as I have some data on them.

Using Clonezilla to try to backup (as image) my partition. It gives me an error saying, "Error! No unmounted disk are found! To use clonezilla to save or clone a disk, the source disk must be unmounted! "
So I tried doing these commands: url. (2nd post down) but they didnt recognize the unmount command. Plus when I did mount to see what was mounted, i did NOT see an sda1 or anything like that. I got a bunch of other stuff. ?
Is there another command to unmount?

I'm using some software that using mount point such as truecrypt. I also mount shared folder on other machine (fileserver) and publish it using ftp. The problem is when the truecrypt volume dismounted or the shared folder mount point loosing connection to the fileserver, user can write to the mount point without knowing that they actually not writing to the truecrypt volume or to the shared folder.
My question is, when sometime the server reboot and truecrypt volume is not mounted yet, how to prevent write to the mount point? I dont run truecrypt mount automatically for security reason.Some question for shared folder, if fileserver restart and the shared folder mount point got disconnected, how to prevent write to the mount point?

I know there are many threads about recovering damaged superblocks. I've spent 3 evenings reading them and trying what they suggest. Invariably the commands do nothing except to report bad or missing superblocks. I've removed the physical disk from the machine and am working with a dd image file (/mnt/image). I can mount what used to be hdc1 and read its files with no problem. I'm trying to recover partions hdc6 and hdc7.$ mmls /mnt/image -b

I did a zypper dup upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4 with no errors. My shutdown command has always been halt -h and during shutdown, I would always see verbose info about the drives being umounted, the "term" signal being sent, and the "kill" signal being sent. Since the upgrade, I only see the "term" signal being sent, followed by shutdown. On every boot since the upgrade, the system goes through several hundred lines of file repairing as the file system is not clean after shutdown. For whatever reason, the hard drives are apparently being killed before the umount is complete. I have changed no settings. The problem exists whether I do a shutdown from the KDE menu, or run halt -h as su from a terminal.

To workaround the kio_smb madness, I set up shares to be mounted via /etc/fstab. It works flawlessly until I suspend my laptop. Coming back from suspend, samba mounts are not being re-mounted automatically. Since I'm new to opensuse, I wish to ask you:
Is there a polished way to make this happen, in opensuse approach?
Or shall I just go and toy with scripts in the init.d (or what is it in suse)?
As much as I could figure, I checked in yast, and smbfs service is signed as "Yes".
