My computer has three drives: one with windows7,one as a storage drive, and an ide drive. I have ubuntu 10.04 installed on a seperate partition on the storage drive (+swap partition).I have "/etc/fstab" automatically monut these drives on startup:
Code:
/dev/sdc1 /media/win7 ntfs-3g quiet,defaults,rw 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/storage ntfs-3g quiet,defaults,rw 0 0

I have recently mounted my iPod Touch using ifuse, and it works with gtkpod and I'm very pleased about that! However, I'm interested in finding out how openSUSE recognises what devices are mounted? Because the device manager in the task bar doesn't recognise that it's mounted... Dolphin doesn't recognise it and neither does Amarok. Only gtkpod, which is good, but I want other applications to recognise it. Do I need to mount it in a specific location? Currently it's at /mnt/iPhone. Or do I need something in fstab (I'm just guessing here).

SO, my USB mouse and keyboard no longer mount on boot. If I unplug the keyboard and mouse, then re-insert them, they work fine.
I have 3 disks in my PC which are partitioned equally as I use them for Raid 1.The first partition on every disk is a simple ext2 partition for booting. No Raid there. So I mount them as /boot and /boot2 and /boot3. So I can backup my /boot to the other boot directories. That worked for some month and this morning I just want to look if all directories have enough free space left. So I did a df -h and got this:
Code:
Dateisystem Grove Benut Verf Ben% EingehÃĪngt auf
/dev/mapper/system-root
6,0G 301M 5,4G 6% /
udev 1,5G 292K 1,5G 1% /dev
/dev/sdb1 122M 29M 87M 25% /boot
/dev/sdc1 38M 21M 16M 59% /boot2
...
/dev/sda1 122M 29M 87M 25% /boot
As you can see /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 are both mounted on /boot
Here is what mount says:
Code:
/dev/sdb1 on /boot type ext2 (ro,acl,user_xattr)
/dev/sdc1 on /boot2 type ext2 (ro,acl,user_xattr)
...
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (ro,acl,user_xattr)
This is no Problem for me as I could just remount it correctly, but I would like to know if this problem is known. I did not change anything by now and this PC is a server which is running 24/7, so I can deliver more debugging Information if someone is interested.
This is probably me looking but not seeing an option somewhere. I re-installed 10.10 over 10.04 by formatting the root partition but keeping the home partition the same, to save me a lot of work. (64 bit) However, now when I mount a CD, DVD or USB stick, they don't appear in Dophin's "Places" window. What have I missed please?

View 11 Replies View RelatedWhen booting opensuse 11.2 or 11.3 there is automatically created a folder in /media to mount my external usb drive (in /media/disk). The problem I have is that sometimes these folders are not automatically removed when I shut down. On the next time boot this device is mounted at /media/disk-1 or /media/disk-2 which throws off for instance Krusader or Amarok. Also the folders that are not removed seem to have really strong permissions such that I can't even browse into them in Krusader or Dolphin. I have to manually clean the /media folder as super user so that when I reboot, they are in /media/disk. Does anyone know how to ensure that opensuse removes the folder(s) upon shutdown?

Currently when I insert a removable device, it is auto-mounted as readonly. To use it I have to do this every time.
Code:
sudo umount /dev/xxx
pmount xxx
This applys to every removable device I have, and did not exist on my previous distro. Debian amd 64 Squeeze [URL]
Sometimes when I try to display the mounted device in linux it displays devices which are not currently mounted. I want to correct this this using script.

Unfortunately, it gets confusing very quickly, I'd like a simple bash script that goes something like this (this pseudo-code would be most like REXX):
pair.1 = (/dev/sdb1, /dev/mmcblkp01)
pair.2 = (/some/other/device, /yet/another/device)

Seems simple enough, but I've never written a bash script and wouldn't know where to start.
On my computer I have one IDE drive that is my boot drive and a mirrored SATA raid set. When I login as "root" and mount the SATA volume it's always there. When I logout or shutdown if I login as root it's always mounted. I want to do the same thing for my own user ID. I did a search on having volumes mounted when I boot but they seem related to older versions of Ubuntu. It almost seems like a permissions problem since the "root" ID mounts the volume when I boot and my user ID does not.
View 6 Replies View RelatedOK got a couple of external USB hard drives and my mp3 player that are fairly often connected to my laptop. When updating the files on my mp3 player the other day I noticed something that seemed weird.After deletion of files there is same amount on the disk. After ejecting and reinserting things are still the same. To have the files correctly updated I have to Unmount the drive, then I see it flushing the .Trashes folder and actually freeing space on the drive.
Now the same thing seems to happen at Shutdown of the PC, files are not being updated and are still being seen by the mp3 player/hard drive. Think new files are being seen but old one not removed but not 100% sure.Is there anything I can do to force Ubuntu to correctly Unmount all drive at Shutdown so I don't have to do each one manually first? Or is there something else I am missing?
What is the syntax if you want to create a symlink to a resource on a mounted drive? am I missing something?

I dual boot Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7 and am running EXT4 file system on the ubuntu partition.
When I try to save files in Ubuntu to the mounted drives that contain Windows and other data, it writes successfully but when I try to view it in Windows 7, I cannot see the written files.
most of the partitions on my computer are ntfs type and need to be mounted via ubuntu so how can i share the entire partition or folders from it and for it to mount automatily when remote computer reqest to enter one of those partitions?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have installed Xubuntu on an old laptop which has a floppy disk.
On the desktop where mounted drives will normally appear, it constantly shows the floppy disk on the desktop even though there is not floppy inside, so I have disabled the desktop from showing mounted drives, however now anything else like a CD or USB drive will not show up on the desktop. Is there a way to choose what types of devices are shown on the desktop?
I have considered disabling the floppy from the BIOS(assuming that is possible), but I would rather not go down that road just yet.
there are some drives in my system that appear to be always mounted (were at some point) that I cannot get rid of - i checked fstab, and do not appear there - 2 are related with the use of truecrypt, and 1 is from an exernal HD

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I'm running Fluxbox as my window manager in Xubuntu. I use ivman to automatically mount any usb devices.Now I was wondering if it's possible to have conky display all mounted drives and some information about them.I saw you can do {$ifmounted /media/blah} but this would assume I have a set number of devices preconfigured in fstab. It doesn't account for some random guy's flash drive, or a buddy's smartphone.
I know mount | grep sd outputs a list of mounted drives. So then could I somehow format that output and pass it to conky? Or do you guys have any more clever ideas on how I could accomplish this?

I am using Karmic Koala and not finding uniform behavior regarding internal hard drive mounts. I have placed commands in fstab to mount partitions at boot. One a separate hard drive and the other a separate partition on the boot drive that I set up during OS installation. After boot, GParted shows both of these partitions mounted on the right points (in my case, /dd and /opt). Both the mount points have rw permissions for all. But neither "ls -l" in the terminal nor nautilus shows the drives. They are evidently invisible.I searched the net for hours looking for an answer to this and couldn't find it. Hope someone knows why this is going on.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a headless 8.04 server with 2 USB drives attached. I'm trying to move everything off the 1.5TB drive onto a few 300GB drives (so I can then use LVM on the 1.5TB drive and move everything back onto LVs.)I check the drives using 'fdisk -l'. They show up as sdc1 and sdd1. I mount them and start a cp operation.When I run fdisk again, the drives are no longer sdc1 and sdd1. Now they are sde1 and sdf1 (and of course, they are no longer mounted.
What could be causing this and how do I fix it?I need to fix this ASAP because the 1.5 TB drive seems to be going bad. Every few seconds I hear a big "click" as though the head arms are smacking against a stop. (This is the 2nd brand new 1.5TB drive that has started doing this!)
Basically I have changed the default mount names for my windows partitions in Ubuntu. They were /media/data, /media/data_,/media/system reserved, etc
They are now /media/C,D,E,F
I have rebooted etc after the changes and when I look in Gnome places or in Nautilis the OLD names still show up.
HOWEVER when I run Nautilis as the root user all the CORRECT NEW names appear.
ALSO - if I create a BRAND NEW user account and login as that all the OLD names show up?
So this is something to do with ROOT access or whatever that is not allowing the names to be updated somehow?!?!?
As I use these disks in windows (obviously) I DONT want to change their labels. and basically this SHOULDN'T be the solution everyone is suggesting!
Root can generate the new names automatically based on the mount point in FSTAB why can't other users - and HOW to do do it MANUALLY?
