Ubuntu :: Blkid Not Recognizing Filesystem ?

Jun 5, 2010

My ubuntu server has 4 2TB disks attached im using udev on boot to mount the disks suddenly one partition of such a hd cant be mounted it seems that udev isnt recognizing the filesystem anymore, all other partitions work as expected using blkid i get a list excluding the failed partition the mount command either doesnt recognize the filesystem but if i mount using -t ext3 i can use it without problems fsck.ext3 doesnt find any errors.

So my question: what i could try to get it up and running again? not sure if the problems began since a power outage.

General :: Identify Pen Drive With 'blkid'?

Aug 21, 2010

I just 0 & 1'd a pen drive, and now I dont see it in 'blkid' output. Is there a way to know where the device is on the system, so that I can format it with a filesystem?

Ubuntu :: Modprobe, Framevuffer, Udevadm, And Blkid Causing Slow Bootup In Lucid?

Sep 1, 2010

my brother's computer is pretty slow, but was working fine with ubuntu karmic, but I decided to finally upgrade him to lucid the other day, and recently his bootups take, at worst, 10 minutes,when in karmic it took way less. It just sits on a blank screen (not even a blinking cursor)

His pc's specs are:
1.4 Ghz processor (single core)
on-board graphics (no graphics card)
two hdd's one 80GB and one 150GB (the 150GB is split into 3 partitions)
465.7MB of ram 4.1GB of swap

I've attached his bootchart and it seems that Modprobe, Framebuffer, udevadm, and blkid are taking the most time to load, but I dont really know, i'm new to linux. Also how do i disable bootchart now that iv'e used it. p.s Heres he same bootchart just in case the one attached gets shrunk by ubuntuforums [URL]..

Red Hat / Fedora :: Filesystem Check After Power Outage - WARNING: "Running E2fsck On A Mounted Filesystem May Cause SEVERE Filesystem Damage"

May 18, 2011

I am very new to linux, and I have a question regarding the filesystem check (fsck). The power recently went out and when I tried to restart linux the following error appears:

*/dev/sda1 contains file system w/errors, check forced it then goes on to say..

*An error occured during the file system check. Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot when you leave the shell. Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue) I wasn't sure what to do, but checked some other online forums and they suggested running fsck manually - so I typed in the root password - and used the command, "fsck -A -V ; echo == $? ==" it then gave the following message

*WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage
*Would you like to continue (y/n)

Again, I wasn't sure what to do so i just checked no. I then manually turned off the computer and was prompted at the beginning to press Alt-3. I was brought to another screen and it informed me one of the drives was degraded and suggested rebuilding the array. I tried doing this, but it still brings me back to the original error of, "/dev/sda1 contains file system w/errors, check forced," and the process continues.

Also, when I tried to rebuild the array, I didn't backup any of the data on our home directory before doing this (which was probably a big mistake). After being prompted to type the root password, I was able to give the ls command and look at all the directories...the home directory where our data was stored was empty and I am afraid I may have lost some information. Is there a possibility that data was lost when I was trying to rebuild using the old drives?

Ubuntu :: Finding Filesystem Type/repair Broken Filesystem?

Jul 9, 2010

I have a following problem: Recently my drive with Ubuntu 9.4 has mysteriously stopped working, i.e. when I switch the computer on it informs me that GRUB didn't find the filesystem. Well, I suppose it happens.

First, I though it was due to the drive dying, but I popped it in an external enclosure and HDTune told me the drive was fine. Wanting to recover the files on the drive before reinstalling I first tried to mount it in said external enclosure under Windows (I have Win Ext2 driver installed which used to work just fine). This time, however, drive gets assigned a letter but upon opening it Windows popped up an error saying that the drive was not formatted and whether I would like to format it then.

Unfazed by this streak of failures I tried to mount it under Linux but, alas, to no avail. I might have tried every single -t operator under mount command but it still won't budge and let me mount.

General :: Detect Filesystem Type (can't Mount Filesystem Image .img)

Mar 11, 2011

I am trying to mount a file image, like this

mount -o loop /tmp/apps.img /media/apps

But I get the following:

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

I try ext3:

mount -o loop /tmp/apps.img /media/apps -t ext3

dmesg says:

error: can't find ext3 filesystem on dev loop6.

I've also tried ext2, vfat etc. How can I detect the filesystem type of apps.img?

General :: External Drive Read Only - WARNING! Running E2fsck On A Mounted Filesystem May Cause SEVERE Filesystem Damage

Mar 24, 2010

I've had a look at some similar threads but as I'm very new to linux they're already a bit technical for me. Sorry, this calls for someone with patience. I gather from other threads that disconnecting an external drive without unmounting is a no-no, and this seems to be the likely cause. Now the disk is read only and I'm unable to change any settings through the usual control panel on ubuntu. I'm just not familiar with the terminal instructions. I tried to cut and past a few command lines from other threads but I got some warnings that proceding could damage data. Like this one: WARNING! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 Not Recognizing Only Hdd?

Mar 11, 2011

I am trying to install a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10, but I am finding it is not recognising my only HDD in the machine. It is working because I am running Windows 7 x64 on it.

Here are my machine specs:

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+
Motherboard: XFX MI-A78U-8309 GeForce 8300
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8300 + 8400
HDD: WDC WD5001AALS-00L3B2 ATA (~415GB)

The installation knows when my IDE drive is plugged in, but I want to install the boot sector in the WDC drive.

WUBI also fails to install on this current drive, though can setup the boot sector OK.

Ubuntu :: Virtual Box Is Not Recognizing Usb Printer

Mar 26, 2010

I am trying to make my Lexmark P4350 printer work so I downloaded Virtual Box on my laptop and installed Windows XP on it. This printer worked great with XP on another computer. I have done all the updates to XP and it seems to be working just fine but when I go to the printer set up, it is not showing up. I have tried it where I plug in the printer while Virtual Box is running, but it didn't seem to make any difference. When I plug the printer into the usb port, Ubunto starts searching for the drivers but the Virtual Box doesn't.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.4 Not Recognizing HDD On Install?

Jun 21, 2010

I am trying the 10.4 version from last months APC DVD (I have used 8.4 (liked it) and 9.4 (failed to install) and I am trying to install it on my spare rig to see how it all goes.

System Specs:

Intel E6850 @Stock Speeds (normally OC'd to 3.2GHz)
G.Skill 2GIG DDR2 800Mhz RAM
WD500GIG SATAII Green HDD
Gigabyte P35 Motherboard (latest Bios)
Nvidia 9600GT Palit Sonic GPU

I boot disc from post, goes through the 1st 3 steps, select time zone etc and it wont find my HDD but it will find my USB mem stick when its plugged in.

I will keep fiddling in the bios to make sure that I have everything correct (it works fine when I installed w7 about 2 hours earlier)

I am installing it without dramas on a old P4 1.6GHz s478, 512mb Ram, 40GIG IDE and a old Geforce MX460 GPU and its at 53% so I know that the disc / version is good.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: DvdFab Not Recognizing DVD?

May 2, 2011

Since I upgraded to Ubuntu Natty, dvdFab has not recognized any DVD I insert into the drive. The program loads through Wine with no problems, and the disk is mounted by Ubuntu, but no dvd drives are recognized by dvdFab. I guess it will be a conflicting setting or something, but I would like to know if there is a solution, because my DVD player is knackered and only accepts DVD5's -not double layers any longer.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Not Recognizing Blank DVDs

I'm trying burn an ISO to a DVD+R. but I cannot seem to get it recognized. The drive will read a CD-R that I have, but not the DVD. I have found quite a few threads about this, but none had any working solutions. Does anyone know what I could do? Could it be because the bottom of the disc is blue rather than silver?

Ubuntu :: Recognizing Usb Bootable When Installing?

Jan 17, 2011

I currently am dual booting linux mint and windows 7. My only hard drive is partitioned in two, one for linux mint and one for windows 7. I installed linux mint with a usb bootable.

I want to replace my linux mint with ubuntu, however, my the usb bootable ubuntu isn't being recognized. I restart the laptop with the usb inside, but it just goes to the grub screen that lets me choose between linux mint or windows 7. The boot order has USB in first position as well. I used the usb creator as suggested on the ubuntu downloads page to create a usb bootable too. I've done this installation before with both ubuntu and mint... but now it's not working.

I tried "sudo update-grub" within linux mint with the usb plugged in, and restarting afterwards, but I still can't see the usb in the grub screen.

Ubuntu Networking :: Jaunty Recognizing Net Adapter

Jan 5, 2010

I managed to get the older, weaker box on the net and running simply by plugging in the Belkin N-wireless adapter, discovering the Network Manager icon (this really should also be accessible from the system pull-down menu), left clicking to see all the local networks, selecting mine, and inputting the security key, and rebooting. Voila!)However, on the newer, more powerful box, the network Manager gives me nothing but "Wired connection" at every boot (there is no such connection), I created a wireless connection under the settings (accessed through create VPN settings), but the Manager sees no wireless networks. Reboot solves nothing Network Manager is not seeing anything, I suspect that the card although powered by the USB, is not being seen by the system.

Ubuntu :: Virtual Box Not Recognizing External Harddrives?

Jan 9, 2010

I am trying to accomplish the simple task of renaming my harddrives on Ubuntu, but the developers of Ubuntu decided that they didn't want anyone to have the ability of accomplishing such a simple task in an easy way!

I have been trying to get Gparted to work so I can rename my harddrives, but it doesn't want to work. (What a surprise!) So I decided it might be easier to simply install virtualbox and rename the harddrives through the virtual Windows system. The only problem is that Virtualbox won't recognize the harddrives, so I can't bloody well rename them!

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Audacity Not Recognizing FFmpeg?

Jan 17, 2010

I installed Audacity to convert an mp4 to an mp3. Now, I don't necessarily need Audacity to do this, but for the time being I'm more concerned with getting Audacity to work properly as opposed to getting an mp3 onto my iPod.

In Audacity, I went to Edit>Preferences>Libraries. For the MP3 Export Library, Audacity recognizes LAME, but under the FFmpeg Import/Export Library it says "FFmpeg library not found." I hit the Download button and read this page on how to install FFmpeg, noticing the warning about needing FFmpeg 0.5 or later on Linux.

I fired up Synaptic and searched for "ffmpeg," chose the vanilla version and installed it along with two dependencies which I don't exactly remember but I bet they were libavformat52 and libavdevice52.

Back in the Audacity Preferences window I chose the "Locate..." button to point to the newly installed libraries, but Audacity is not recognizing/installing them successfully. I've tried pointing to the following files:

/usr/lib/libavformat.so.52
/usr/lib/libavformat.so.52.36.0
/usr/lib/i686/cmov/libavformat.so.52
/usr/lib/i686/cmov/libavformat.so.52.36.0
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libavformat52

[Code]....

Did I install the wrong version of FFmpeg or libavformat? Any pointers?

Ubuntu :: LV Extended 9.10 Not Recognizing Added Storage

Mar 26, 2010

I have learned a little about LVM through tinkering but on my new setup I am having trouble. I am running Ubuntu 9.10 Server with Gnome desktop 64 bit. I started with a 2TB HD and setup LVM with a LV for my data ("Storage) that mounts at /storage. That is full so I then added a second drive 500GB, formatted, added to VG and then extended the LV "Storage" with the 500GB partition. Now the LV reads as ~2.2TB which is right. Everything is successful up to this point. Except now when I go to the mounted LV at /storage Ubuntu shows it as full and only as ~1.7TB. The 500GB were never added!

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Installer Not Recognizing Windows 7 Partition?

Jun 10, 2010

I've previously installed ubuntu using wubi. But this is the first time I've tried installing it directly on the hard drive. I bought a new 320 gig hard disk and divided into 3 partitions of 50gig for windows 7, 30 gig for ubuntu and and the remaining for data. I installed windows 7 on the 50 gig partition. When I tried to install ubuntu using usb boot device, it says no operating system found and all my hard disk is muddled up and I can't see my partitions.

Now I go into live cd mode and see if I can mount my partitions and there I can see all the partitions. I formatted the 30 gig partition which was previously in NTFS to FAT32 and tried to install ubuntu directly from the live cd into the 30gig partition. But still the installer cannot see either my partitions nor my windows 7.As of now I'm using VMplayer and running ubuntu on a virtual machine. But would really prefer to have it installed on the hard drive to derive its full power.

Ubuntu :: Samsung YP-K3 MP3 Player Not Recognizing Files

Jul 27, 2010

I am trying to use my Samsung YP-K3 player with Ubuntu 9.10. Many people report that Ubuntu fails to recognize similar players and some fiddling with Amorak is necessary. However, my system recognizes the player fine, and I can copy files to it without any difficulties. However, the player itself fails to recognise the files that are copied to it via Ubuntu. It will play the files that were previously copied to it via Windows fine, and I can go back and copy edit the playlist in Windows and everything works accordingly, it just seems Ubuntu is copying the files over in a non-supported format or something, which is weird, because they're all just standard MP3 files, many of which were originally created under Windows.
