Ubuntu :: Ext4 Primary Partition Mounts Read Only In Nautilus?
Jul 11, 2010
I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 and Linux Mint 9 with an ext4 (sda3) data partition to be shared between both. My issue is when I go to that partition and mount it within Nautilus it mounts read only. I've searched around but I have not found the solution. I don't have a problem mounting it using fstab and mounting at boot. But, I know I have to be doing something wrong for it not to work correctly through Nautilus.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 25G 3.2G 21G 14% /media/7e66f3a0-e35d-40b0-8427-4abfd3b53d8a
/dev/sda2 25G 9.8G 14G 42% /
/dev/sda3 56G 32G 21G 61% /media/data
I partitioned the drive like this. Ubuntu sda1 primary partition ext4 25gb, Mint sda2 primary partition ext4 25gb and Data primary partition 56gb. I then installed Ubuntu 10.04 first, then Mint. Both Ubuntu and Mint mount that partition as read only.

I'm trying to convert big ext4 partition to logical. I was able to do that with Arconis Disk Director Home 11 with swap and ext3 partition, but it doesn't recognize ext4.
Unfortunately I can't copy 2TB data to another HD Now I have:
Pri /boot ext3
Log / ext3
Log swap swap
Pri /media/X ext4 <- 2TB
When I do that I be able to install Ubuntu Server next to CentOS. And I will add partition /home(ext4) for both and "/"(ext4) for Ubuntu.

I just got a new WD Studio External USB 2.0/FW800 hard disk drive, it is formatted to HFS+ with Journaling (hfsplus) and I use it for both an iMAC and a PC/Linux. The problem is that on my PC (Linux - Ubuntu 9.10) there is always some kind of read-only error whenever I try to edit, create, delete anything on it. I tried it on my iMAC and I'm able to read and write on it with no problem.
The mount command on Linux gives me: /dev/sdc3 on /media/My Passport type hfsplus (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit) Clearly indicating that it ("My Passport" on /dev/sdc3) is mounted as "rw" (read and write, not read-only). I tried connecting it via Firewire 800 and USB 2.0 and both give me the same results. I also tried fixing it in my iMAC using Disk Utility but it reports on problem and I clearly safely "Ejected" it before unplugging it from my iMAC.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 64bit (Kernel 2.6.32-22-generic) and sometimes my /home partition is remounting in read-only and i have no idea why. Normally I only use programms like Firefox, Rhythmbox, Evolution and Netbeans 6.8. Should I switch to the EXT3 filesystem?
dmesg shows me the following information:
Code:

Recently i formatted my HDD into 5 partition namely :-
1) Win Vista
2) Ubuntu /
3) Home
4) Swp
5) EXT4 (Purpose is to share files between ubuntu and vista)
I'm wondering if its possible to install Virtual Box on both OS but pointing only to 1 virtual machine.
Also if its possible to permanently mount the shared partition on both OS.

What happens on my computer is this: when I insert my Walletex business card-shaped pendrive into any USB port, everything works fine, and so does unmounting using the right-click "Eject" option.However, when I try to unmount the device using the other context menu option, "Remove device safely" (or something like that; sorry, I'm using a localized version of GNOME), it does unmount it, but then mounts it right back on. The weird thing is that after it does it, if you try using that same unmount option again ("Remove safely"), it actually works! And I can replicate this issue every time: the "Eject" context menu option works the first time every time I try it, but the "Remove safely" one, when used for the first time per device insertion causes an unmount and then a re-mount, and works the second time you try it

I had 5.4 machine. Upgraded to 5.5 today via yum upgrade. All went fine. Rebooted. Wanted to convert root partition to ext4 (I have three partitions: /boot, / and swap). All of them on software RAID 1 (root is /dev/md2). I did the following for converting
yum install e4fsprogs
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/md2
nano /etc/fstab # I indicated here that my /dev/md2 is of ext4

I am trying ti set up a NFS server using the guide on [URL] However, the NFS mounts on the client side as a read-only file system, so I cannot modify nothing. Here is my /etc/export file on the server side:
Code:
/home/acrocephalus/ 192.168.1.35 (rw,async,no_root_squash)
and this is my /etc/fstab file relevant line on the client side
Code:
192.168.1.33:/home/acrocephalus/ /home/acrocephalus/AcrocephalusServer/ nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr
Then, I mount the system using the command
Code:
sudo mount /home/acrocephalus/AcrocephalusServer/
.
how to mount the NFS with full read-write permissions?

I am trying to add/delete files from my HTC Evo through ubuntu via enabling file sharing on the device. Ubuntu detects the drive, and mounts it up so that I can browse/read files off the device. However, I am not able to do any writing to the device because it is mounted as "read-only". The only wierd thing is that it worked last week, and I have not changed any settings on my system. Where should I start? Is the auto-mount for USB drives located in "/etc/fstab"? because here is the contents of that file, and I dont see anything for usb mounts:
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

Trying to go through some old hard drives I'd saved from a Mac we tossed years ago. Using a Sabrent USB adapter (USB-DSC9) I connected it to the Debian box and it mounts as /media. Here's the weird thing: although I can read all the random stuff, the directory with all my actual documents shows up as "you do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents". When I try to fix this with chmod, it tells me that the drive is read-only. Grr.
How do I mount the drive so that it's not read-only?

I am running Fedora 14 with kernel 2.6.35.74 x86_64 and I am having an issue with a Vfat partition that is shared with Windows 7 on a dual boot setup. this partition contains my mozilla profiles and it occasionally mounts as read only in Fedora. I wont be able to write to it and root doesnt seem to be able to write to it when this happens. I checked this by trying to redirect an output of ifconfig. My fstab entry looks like this.
Code:
UUID=5830-75A8 /home/joe/share_storage vfat rw,umask=0000,uid=500,gid=joe 0 0
and ls -l
Code:
drwxrwxrwx. 8 joe joe 4096 Dec 31 1969
These two (fstab and ls -l) always look the same whether the partition behaves as read only or not.

So I tried adding a new, 2nd hard drive to my Ubuntu 9.04 desktop for some additional storage and only managed to kill my system so that it won't boot up anymore (I just get a blinking cursor after the BIOS does its thing).I could sure use a little help getting back to a functioning system, and then adding the second drive. I tried following the instructions from this link to add the 2nd drive:
(So the forum rules won't let me post the link, neato. Here it is with spaces added):

Around 2008 i seem to remember PartEd on the command-line was able to rescue deleted partitions and gave a choice of whether to recover the partition as a Primary or Logical Partition. I have tried testdisk but didn't really grok what i was doing. I successfully moved a "Windows Recovery" partition to the end of my hard-drive, immediately after the drive's Extended Partition.

I just installed ubuntu via the windows executable and I couldn't mount my NTFS partition. I found this a little odd and I checked fdisk and it seems to think I don't have an ext4 partition as my entire internal HD is displayed as NTFS.
Here's the fdisk output:
When i try to mount the NTFS partition /dev/sda2 i get the following output:
I can't make heads or tails out of this. Anyone know what's going on here?
Windows recognizes that 30GB were taken from the NTFS partition for my linux install. It reads the max partition size as 465GB. fstab reports the NTFS partition size as 488GB.

I have 4 partitions. One is Ext4 for Karmic, one is NTFS for WinXP, and the other two are Ext4 where I keep all my stuff.When I boot into Karmic and open Nautilus, none of the last three are auto mounted. When I click on one of them, instead of a window popping out asking me for a sudo password, I get a message as shown below.f I try to mount via sudo in terminal it works, but the files for me are then all read-only. Again, if I open Nautilus as root, all works fine.What I want is the following:- for all 3 partitions to automount on startup;- for all 3 partitions to be owned by me and not by root.I tried editing /etc/fstab, but to no avail. Neither did running "chown" help.
/etc/fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

I want to install 11.04 next to my working 10.04 system. First I need to make room for the new system so I have booted from a live cd and started GParted. In GParted the partition with the 10.04 system on it, /dev/sda1, has a red circle with an exclamation mark in it and I cannot resize it. When I doubleclick on /dev/sda1 there is the following warning
Quote:
Failed to change to directory '.'(Stale NFS file handle)
Failed to change to directory '.'(Stale NFS file handle)
Unable to read the contents of this file system!
Because of this some operations may be unavailable.
The following list of software packages is required for ext4 file system support: e2fsprogs v1.41+.
The 10.04 system is working and has worked like a dream for a couple of years and the machine has never had any other system on it. Why would the live CD not be able to read ext4 fs?

I want to convert a vfat partition into an ext4 partition. This is on my wife's machine and she deleted the Windoze partition as she now prefers Linux. Here is the (edited) output from fdisk -l:-

/dev/sda5 59006800 234227699 87610446 83 Linux
I want to change /dev/sda4 to 83 to free up space for Linux without losing the partitions in this 'extended' partition!

I have multiple ubuntu machines and I connect to one through an NFS share. I have done this for a few years without issue. However, since re-installing ubuntu and upgrading to 10.4 I have a problem with my system hanging when the remote shares are lost.
Basically, I can power down the machine downstairs, and my main machine then has a fit. I can not open any folders in ubuntu, nor can I shut down. If I try and shut down the system hangs, last time it hung for 8 hours before I had to kill the power.
These are the lines in my fstab
I don't know what I've done wrong, or how I can prevent this from hanging. I have googled the heck out of this as well and can't seem to find an answer either.
