Ubuntu :: Add A New Hpfs Disk With Utf16 Encoding Files System?
Aug 2, 2011
How is it possible to add a new hpfs disk with utf16 encoding files system? I would like to add my windows 7 device at the boot beginning automaticly? I could mount in gnome with nautilus with a one mouse click.
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name

I am trying to access a Magneto Optical disk written under OS/2 hpfs filesystem. I cannot locate a dang thing about support of CentOS for OS/2. I found a module for Linux OS/2 support that dated back to 1993, have no idea how to compile it, used alien to create an RPM package, said compiled succesfully, still can't mount the drive (/dev/sdb) with filesystem type -t hpfs. Can anyone out there help me, or does CentOS just not do this?

My system decided to crash on me, hard. It was humming along happily for about 2 months and now doesn't boot. If I boot from hard-disk, I get grub. Launching the first kernel choice hangs. I thought maybe the install was corrupt, so I booted from usb install disk. The usb hdd didn't boot; something about an error trying to access /dev/sda . Unplugging the internal disk and plugging in the usb install disk does result in the system booting. Plugging in the internal disk in a running system usb-booted system does not result in the system detecting the disk.
How do I know if the disk is physically broken? This seems unlikely since it does manage to launch grub consistently. Or is this still possible? How can I try to mount whatever is left? The usb install disk doesn't even list the /dev/sd*. Any pointers on how to reformat the drive if it's not being mounted?

I'm trying to convert the encoding of multiple files in a directory and I try to do it as follows.
Code:
#/bin/bash
find . -type f -name *.txt -exec iconv -f GBK -t utf-8 "{}" -o "{}.utf8" ;
find . -type f -name *.utf8 -exec mv -f "{}" `echo "{}" | sed 's/.utf8//'` ;
The first command goes well by generating utf8 files from all txt files, but the second command fails with error message. Could someone enlighten me about the mistake in the command and share a workable solution?

I have been having a problem with K9 Copy whenever I try to convert a DVD to MPEG files using the method without encoding, but for some reason lately it seems to be splitting each episode into about 6 or 7 pieces instead of just one. I never usually have a problem with this, but for some reason it seems to be doing this whenever I try to rip something. On a side note, I am running on Obuntu 9.10 and have K9Copy version 2.3.0 installed. I have tried installing several other versions, but it does the same thing with each.

I am only using the 128 character set defined in the original ANSI standard. But as a whole how are the files implmeneted differently. I am not concerned with the display, i.e. if a tab is displayed with 6 or 8 characters but the actual internal representation in memory
One differnce I've hear is the use of (Windows) vs. for line termination (Linux).

Is there an app or find parameter that can search for video files using a specific (DivX for example) encoding? On Windows, you can do this, so I was hoping there would be some way on Linux whether it's with find or another app. I want to find all (*.avi OR *.divx) on my file system with the DiVX fourcc tag (i think that's what its called)

I am using OpenSuse 11.2 (64 bits) with KDE 4.3.1. My hard disk partition contains 3 areas : / + /home + swap. Frequently the / area is filling with, I suppose, temporary files until it is full (15 Go) and that in a very short time, typically about 5 mn. Then, these files are cleaned by the system, when disk space is needed I suppose. The point is that during this time, the system goes slower and slower until the "cleaning". That seems to occur only when Firefox (3.5.6) is running so I suppose that these files are temporary internet files.

When i work in Ubuntu on a dual boot system with a shared NTFS data-partition where Windows is hibernated, and then reboot and continue working in Windows from the hibernated sesion, strange things happen. Files disappear, files that i worked on suddenly have the content of another file.

I opened this thread in Ubuntu forums with no luck at all. Hope someone can give me a clue of what happens.URl...Recently, gnome has been warning me about low disk space, always less than 1.5GiGs. The problem is, baobab (disk usage analyzer) tells me that there are something like 50GiG free. I am sure that I have the free space ( I can write big files ) but the system keeps reporting low disk space.

Recently installed ubuntu 10.10 and rather like it but been trying to setup and configure everything so its a feasible alternate OS.
I have a problem where one of my hard drives doesnt show up in places.
The drive works fine in windows.
The information provided to me by Disk Utility says:
Model: ATA WDC WD 10EADS-00L5B1
Partitioning: Master Boot Record
Device: /dev/sdb
Partition Type: HPFS/NTFS (0x07)
Now i have a total of 4 drives, windows 7 on one, linux on one, and 2 storage. Linux recognizes my main windows drive and my 2 TB storage drive, but not this one for some reason. I assume it has to do with the partition type? Disk utility just shows its parition bar image as 'unknown' so yeah. Now there is one error during boot related to this but i can't read it fast enough to remember it all, all i see is the sdb label real quick.

I tried to tag late onto a question similar to mine on stackoverflow (Find Non-UTF8 Filenames on Linux File System) to elicit further replies, with no luck so far, so here goes again... I have the same problem as the OP in the link above and convmv is a great tool to fix one's own filesystem. My question is therefore academic, but I find it unsatisfactory (in fact I can't believe) that 'find' is not able to find non standard ascii characters.
Is there anyone out there that would know what combination of options to use to find filenames that contain non standard characters on what seems to be a unicode FS, in my case the characters seem to be 8bits extended ascii rather than unicode, the files come from a Windows machine (iso-8859-1) and I regularly need to fetch them. I'd love to see how find and/or grep can do the same as convmv.

I have a nice spare K6 machine with a 66G drive and OS/2 Warp 4 installed on the primary partition, which is all of 2G, formatted in HPFS. Like DOS, OS/2 can only be on the primary partition. I have set up and formatted 3 additional partitions as ext2 or ext3 using qParted. GRUB is a great bootloader, but does not seem to recognize the primary partition at all, making multiboot difficult. Is there a way of getting GRUB to recognize the HPFS?

I wish to install ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop PC, but before I do that I need to back up my HDD. Due to alot of filenames show as having a wrong encoding, ubuntu will not let me copy the files. We are talking hundres of files in many sub folders.
The way I see it, I either have to:
1. have ubuntu back up my files in annother way (and not simply dragging and dropping as I have tried)
2.use some sort of tool to convert/fix the filenames so I wil then be able to back them up.
I've tried the following using convmv as mentioned here, but with no succes.
Code:
convmv -r --notest -f windows-1255 -t UTF-8 *
I'm using a live cd, thus the files are not located in my home folder, but on a separate parrtition.

I've recently switched from Windows to Ubuntu Studio (11.04), and my only remaining problem is the encoding of the file names in my music collection. The music files are on a D-Link DNS-323 NAS, and were put there in Windows. The files with accented characters look like this in the terminal:
04 V? ?kur? ?.m4a
and they look like this in Nautilus: This is the relevant line in my /etc/fstab:
Code:
//192.168.0.6/Volume_1 /media/dns_323 cifs iocharset=utf8,username=admin,password=speaker,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
Many people seem to have solved this problem by adding the iocharset part, but it isn't working for me. I also tried nls=utf8.I've looked into using convmv to change the file name encoding, but I'm having trouble with that, too. I've read that Windows uses UTF-16, but when I try:[code].....I only half understand any of what I've tried to do,

This is the third 9.10 install to do this on two different laptops, so wondering what's up...
In both cases, the goal was to leave a large chunk of unpartitioned disk after the Ubuntu partitions, for a second OS install or a filesystem Ubuntu cannot create like NTFS.
When I install with manual partitions, the system can't boot and asks for me to insert a system disk and press any key. When I reinstall telling Ubuntu to "use the entire disk" it then works.
First laptop, first try:
Remainder of the 500GB disk is free space.
Fails to boot, "insert system disk".
First laptop, second try without the /boot partition:
Remainder of the 500GB disk is free space.
Fails to boot, "insert system disk".
"use entire disk" works perfectly.
Second laptop, first try:
Same thing, non-system disk or disk error, insert system disk.
Second try "use entire disk" is currently in progress but I expect the same to happen.

I had done a new lucid install to a 1 TB RAID 1 array using the alternate CD a few weeks back. I messed up that system trying to some hardware working that lucid doesn't have drivers for yet, so I gave up on it and reinstalled to a single 80 GB disk that I now want to move over to the RAID array.
I moved all of the existing files on the array to a single folder, then copied all of the folders from the 80 GB disk over to the array with permissions and symlinks (minus the contents of /proc and /sys, which I created empty).
These are the commands I used:
Quote:
p -a -d -R -v -t /media/raid_array /b*
cp -a -d -R -v -t /media/raid_array /d*
cp -a -d -R -v -t /media/raid_array /e*
cp -a -d -R -v -t /media/raid_array /h*
[Code]....
I tried to change fstab to use the 689a... for root, but when I try to boot, it's still trying to open /dev/disk/by-uuid/412d...
So then I booted from the single disk again and chrooted into the array, then ran update-initramfs -u. I got 3 "grep: /proc/modules: No such file or directory" errors, and "cat: /proc/cmdline: No such file or directory"- so I created directory /proc/modules, created an empty file /proc/cmdline, and ran the initramfs update again. Then I tried to shut down, which hung (probably because I was doing all of this from a terminal window in Gnome), so I killed the power after a couple of minutes.
It's still trying to use /dev/disk/by-uuid/412d... to boot.
What am I missing? I assume I just have to change the UUID to mount as root, but I don't know how.

After installation of debian, using the squeeze net-installer, on a HP elitebook 6930P, i get the following error. "non-system disk or disk error"
It is right after boot process, and just when it should load grub. Grub is installed in the MBR. Windows7, is installed as well, and is not an option to remove. (Should not be the problem though).
/ is set with the bootable flag.
The installation went without any issues, and I have actually tried to install twice with the exact same thing.

My dual proc, dual core Opteron MSI Master2FAR motherboard failed, and I try to boot a disk, used on this board as boot disk, on an Intel based Gigabyte GA-965-DS3. Both systems are x86_64 architecture.
The OS is on both systems is openSUSE 11.1.
On booting the disk on the Gigabyte, the disk is seen correctly by the BIOS, but not by the OS, and there is no /dev/sdX; no /dev/disk/... either. I am taken to a login shell from the ramdisk.
When I just mount this disk on the Gigabyte (booted with the Gigabyte's original boot disk) everything seems fine. No suprise to me, since the disk was fine, and was unmounted gracefully and physically taken off the MSI before the board failed.
I think that the cause lies in the fact that the harddisk controller on the Gigabyte is different from the MSI, and the driver for that controller is not available at boot time.
I have two questions:
- is my assumption correct, or is something else going on?
- if I am right, is there a way to get this disk booting on the Gigabyte (or on another system, for that matter)?
You might want to ask why I want to boot this disk on the Gigabyte in the first place, since I can mount it and see all data on it. I have a reason for that, but telling that story would make this topic too long, and it's too off-topic. Most certainly I will get to that in another topic.

I'm new to openSUSE, this is the first time i try to install openSUSE version 11.4. on my IBM Thinkpad T43 (on which SUSE Linux version 8.0 has been running before without problems). I have downloaded the ISO images and successfully burned the ISO images on a blank DVD. Having placed my openSUSE DVD in the drive and rebooted my laptop I can see the boot screen.
I then select installation with arrow up/down and press enter. Choosing language and keyboard layout works fine, as well as accepting the license agreement. However, when it comes to 'System Probing' the installation stops at 'Search for system files'. The cursor shows a little turning disk but the rest of the screen is blocked.
