I've been seeing issues with this for the last few months when getting kernel updates. Never on every reboot, but this last time has been somewhat stubborn. Usually I can go back to the previous kernel, boot, reboot and I'm good. But not this time.My fstab:
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
[code]....
On rebooting or initial start up intermittent problem:"The disk drive for /home is ready yet or not present." It seems to happen on a cold startup and if a change is made in init/default file. (addition of the numlockx package modifcation.) So far a second or third restart will find the directory and complete the start-up.
On a 120 gig hard drive I have these partitions:
4 gig swap
25 gig /
90+ gig (the remaining space) /home
I tried to upgrade to the newest ubuntu version (10.04 I think). Now I can't even boot my computer. After the initial "boot" stuff, the ubuntu screen comes on and then locks up in the process. I get the message "The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present. Continue to wait; or press s to skip mounting or M for manual recovery."I've tried "waiting" overnight to no avail. I tried the "S" command to skip and got the message "[141.233783] Adding 1502036k Swap on /dev/sdb5. Priority-1 extents:1 across:1502036k"
I think the manual recovery is what I need to do. When I type the "M" for manual recovery I get a maintenance shell with the last line being.Can anyone please give me some commands to fix this problem? I have an OLD ubuntu boot disk. How can I get my computer to boot from it? I tried hitting "esc" while booting up to no avail. I also tried hitting F1 while booting up. I think that used to allow me to boot from the CD drive...but doesn't work now.
I have an annoying issue when loading Ubuntu it gives a message sdc1 and sdb1 being not ready. I have to press S to skip the two messages and continue loading.
The problem is that sdc1 is my DVD drive and sdb1 is my USB drive, so naturally they are not always present.. Its really annoying, is there anyway I fix this so it stops doing this every time I reboot.
Also I think its connected but if I do boot without these present, when i do plug for instance my usb drive in once loaded, it will not mount, I have to reboot with it plugged in.
I upgraded my computer from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 and now the OS doesn't boot correctly. I keep getting the same error msg after selecting Ubuntu from the grub: 'The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present.' Underneath that line is the other msg: 'Continue to wait; press S to skip or M for manual recovery.'
I tried them both and if i press S then it gives another err msg: 'The disk drive for /tmp is not ready or not present' ; 'Continue to wait; or press S to skip or M for manual recovery' now if i press S then it shows a black screen with this msg:
Code:
mountall: Plymouth command failed
mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth
How do i recover my system now... I don't want to reinstall the whole of ubuntu 11.04 but i just want the old system back or Ubuntu 11.04 back in working order. I f i continue to wait nothing happens except the screen goes black. I know theres a way through the command line but how?
I shut down my Ubuntu 10.04 (recently upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 to 10.04) and moved it to another location with a different monitor, keyboard, mouse. When I booted, a screen came up stating:
Quote: The disk drive for /mnt/foobar is not ready yet or not present. Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery
I was upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 and the laptop turned off.Once I rebooted, I got this Message :Code:The disk driver for / is not ready yet or not present continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.My laptop Model: Toshiba Satellite A200.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install 10.10 from a Live CD over my 9.04 (it would not do the upgrade automatically due to apparently lack of disk space.) at the end of the my best guess at the process (alas, Linux is pretty much a plug and pray operation for me.), on rebooting, I get the message: "the disk drive for / is not ready yet or not yet present" I must have messed up at the Allocate Drive SPace / Edit Partition step. I have three existing partitions:
7Gb for OS previously 9.04
35GB for data (which I clearly don't want to mess with)
a a bit for Swap.
So, I have clicked on the 7GB partition /dev/sda1 and have another window, Edit Partition, which is asking me: New partition size (I would just leave it at 7007) Use As (I presume I can leave it as EXT4?) Format the Partition (NO unchecked?)and Mount Point? Now here is where I don't have a clue. The pull down options are:
/, /home, /boot, /tmp, /usr, /var, etc.
not knowing any better, my first time through I just picked "/" and that is what got me to the message "the disk drive for / is not ready yet or not yet present" So what should I be specifying at this point?
I've tried to use that thread to help but to no avail, i tried to use this:

BUT I CAN'T OPEN A TERMINAL!!! as i am at a point where the screen says: Continue to wait, press S to skip or M for manual recovery. so if i run this command : gksudo gedit /etc/fstab my computer whines about there being no way to show this on the screen, I have tried this:
Use a non-graphical editor, like emacs or vi. Try Ctl+Alt+F3 -- you should get a login prompt. Login to an account with admin privileges (like, the first account you created, for example), and then type 'sudo vi /etc/fstab'; that will open /etc/fstab in the vi editor. Make your changes, save them, exit the editor, reboot... but if you're not used to working with a non-graphics-based editor, you'll have a bit of research to do. It's not hard, though, just tedious.however i have not managed to make it work.
Due to complications, the laptop running Ubuntu had a hard reset during the 11.04 update. Now when I try to turn on the machine, I'm met with: "The disc drive for / is not ready yet or not present Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery" Anyone with a similar experience or the technical knowledge able to help with this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOkay, so I found a couple articles about the new BTRFS for Ubuntu that became available on 10.10, and I was wondering if some people could clear some stuff up for me. I am going to be upgrading my desktop box from 8.04 soon (I know,long time coming, but I had some hardware compatibility issues with recent releases that have been addressed on my end) I'm pretty new to a lot of these terms, so a detailed explanation would be awesome if you don't mind.
1 - Is this file system ready for the home user?
2 - Are there significant performance gains over ext4 and is it stable? If not now, will it be in the future?
3 - When a new subvolume is created, does that act like a partition? For instance, would a home folder in it's own subvolume act like home on a separate partition in the event of a reinstall or upgrade to the root filesystem? If not, what would be the specific advantages to using a subvolume?
4 - When creating a snapshot, is it bit for bit or a compressed image?
5 - Does compressing the root filesystem save a significant amount of disc space?
6 - Is there anything else that would be important to know about this filesystem?
If I have some things confused or misunderstood, it is because I am just starting to understand how some of the foundational stuff in my OS works
after my recent update in ubuntu 11.04 64bit that installed a new kernel, my first boot into the os stalled for a long while. i think it said it was checking the disk but did not show any signs that it is working. i left it for half an hour or so and had to force restart it.
from then on, my ubuntu gives a black screen when i boot. choosing recovery mode it tells me it cannot find /home saying /home is either not ready or not there.
i tried to do a fsck and it says fsck.ext4 Unable to resolve UUID=e8629....not impt. probably the /home partition that is messed up. i used gparted to look at my partition and true enough my /home partition is now an unallocated partition space.
this is my setup. i have a win 7 ubuntu dual boot

I have my Epson C46 working on my Ubuntu 9.10 machine, my XP machines are showing the printer as ready and will send a test page to the Ubuntu printer but it doesn't arrive at Ubuntu - doesn't show in the print job list on Ubuntu but does in XP??
File sharing is now working in both directions.
I've been trying to resurrect an old laptop (think Pentium 800 old ) by installing Ubuntu on it. I thought I was in the clear after downloading and booting, but then I get stuck at the 'Ready When You Are' screen. This is Ubuntu 10.10I have seen previous such issues caused by caps in the username, but I've not been prompted to even enter a username yet so I really don't know what could be causing this, and I don't know where to begin searching.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to start a service that depends on networking being started, whenever the computer is rebooted. Is this easily possible from an /etc/init.d script? I have tried creating a script here (conforming to the standards), but I'm really doubtful that it's even running on boot, let alone working. When I test it manually, it works.How can I make a script that runs on boot which runs after networking has been started?

On a cold start-up or after some package installations on re-start I get this message:
"The disk drive for /home is not ready yet or not present".
My disk partitions are:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI took out this 120gb HD from an old computer which I recycled. I took out the SATA cable and an IDE cable just in case I would need them for the installation. This would work great as a backup HD for my current 320gb HD. I have never had a backup HD, so I don't know how it works. I have numbered my concerns to make for easy reference.
1. First, however, is one concern I forgot to address. When I looked up the documentation for my computer (Inspirion 530), it mentions that "NOTE: For additional drives, extra screws are not shipped during initial purchase of the computer, but are shipped with the additional drives." This is terrible! Had I known, I would have taken out some screws from the old computer, but now it is gone, and I don't know what kind of screws I need. I don't even know where to buy them.
2. In terms of installing the new HD, I read that all I need to do is connect the SATA cable and the power, and then boot up to BIOS, where I would "activate" my drive. Then, Ubuntu should be able to identify it immediately. Since I am thinking about doing a fresh install to 10.04, I am thinking about formatting this new drive to ext4, and then backing up my important documents/pictures/music onto this second drive.
Finally, I would boot up to the 10.04 live disc, and simply do a fresh install onto the 320gb HD, knowing that my files are backed up on the 120gb one. Would this procedure work fine, or would Ubuntu have trouble identifying the HD?
3. My final concern is regarding automatic backups. Assuming that I am able to install the HD perfectly, and get a fresh install of 10.04, I want a program or mechanism to help me backup on a regular basis. I know that Mac users have a convenient program called "Time Machine" but there is no such counterpart for Linux. I also know that there are some command-line utilities that I can use, but I would like to stick with a GUI.
I was running Kubuntu Natty Narwhal installed on my USB disk and a download in Firefox was in progress. There was a power failure and now when i try to boot it up it first says:invalid environment block and when continued says: /tmp not yet readyIt cannot automatically fix it. Skipping the mount or ignoring doesnt work. And i dont know what's going on so i cannot fix it manually.

I connected everything properly and my computer found the drivers and told me the printer was ready for use. However, when I tried to print out a test page the computer said it was printing, the printer was flashing as it should, but nothing was printing out. Is there some switch I need to turn on or off? Is there something that I need to type in or delete somewhere? The old printer was a HP deskjet and it did work even if it was a little slow being that it is over 8 years old.
