OS: Ubuntu 10.04 (in VirtualBox virtual machine) how to mount a device for all users. I tried everything and can mount it only for root.
I'm trying to mount shared device in VirtualBox virtual machine.I added record in `fstab` file:
shared /mnt/shared vboxsf rw 0 0
I got /mnt/shared permissons: drwx------I've tried to add options 'rw,user' in fstab, but the option 'user' is not supported by mount program in my system.
I am trying to set up my usb device to be available to mount and umount only for me, not for other users. Using Slackware 12.2Entry in fstab is as follows:
Code:
/dev/disk/by-label/USB /media/usbvfat auto,group,user,noexec,gid=usb,umask=007 0 0
device information:
[code]....
what now trying to mount partition get this error this is the partition ubuntu 9.10 is installed on and upon reboot error no device with a long string. mount: can't find /dev/sda6/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
so now that I believe I've successfully mounted the partition how do I direct the bootloader to this partition /dev/sda6 on /media/11076e45-e27d-470b-bb6d-6894f7809a0c type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit)
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
[Code]....
Is there a way I can allow all users to mount internal media without entering a password, without using sudo, and without making edits to my /etc/fstab file.

When I connect to the same server from windows box, I get this error message:
Quote:
Info: Share: '//COMPUTER/FOLDER' failed to mount: mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
Last two days I was googleing a lot about this but all I tryed didn't work.
Is there somebody share folder works from windows connection?
Cant I get rid of the window which says "authentication required to mount the device" every time when I try to open a common drive?

She does not do command line and there is not a chance in a hot place that I could convince her to do it. Now we have her on the F10 system and we, once again, can't get her to have the right Kung Fu to be able to moun/unmount the floppy drive using the computer icon on the Gnome desktop.
What has changed and how do I get this function back for her? She uses this for business files, so this is somewhat on the urgent side.
I would like to mount a (permanently) attached external USB drive so that it is writable by multiple userids. Currently HAL is mounting the drive as writable to my owner user and readable for group and others. My m/c also runs as an FTP server and I would like said FTP server to be able to write files to the external drive. Just being able to specify a gid would probably do the job for me.
I have googled HAL and UDEV and also attempted to configure usbmount to do this, all to no avail. I am running SLES 10.3. So in summary, can I & how do I either make HAL mount the drive with gid=nnn, or should I not use HAL and simply make an entry in /etc/fstab and make sure a I get the same device address for this USB drive each time I boot?
I installed ifuse (a utility to mount your iPhone or iPod touch via the USB cable) and I want this to be the default way my iPhone is mounted when I connect it. Currently, when I connect it, it gets mounted by the gvfs (Gnome virtual file system) at ~/.gvfs/iPhone. Either one change should be made (the 'default command to execute when this device is connected') or two changes (tell gvfs not to mount, and tell ifuse to automount). I don't know how I can get this to work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm developing a little script that automatically detects the insertion of a usb device and tries to open the directory of this device in nautilus. I am using Python
So far I was able to sample and compare the changes that occur in the output of 'lsusb' command and get information pertaining to the addition and removal of usb devices.
Now I want to know if we can use that information (or some other info present in the usb sybsyste --/sys/bus/usb folder) to determine exactly where this device has been mounted.
I know you might recommend using 'mount' as a quick way to do the same. I have already done that, but the limitation is that mount only gives u the mountpoint information. How does one (using a program/logic) determine which mount point corresponds to which device.
If I were to plug in two devices together, and both were automatically mounted, how will I be able to tell which mountpoint corresponded to which device? the output of lsusb provides no information whatsoever about where the device is mounted. So its kind of a deadlock
from lsusb ive been able to gather : Device name, serial and bus number and device number
Another thing i've noticed is the 'autoplay'. Whenever I insert a my music player into my computer, it gets mounted automatically and I'm presented with options about simply opening the file or playing it with rhythmbox... now if all that was being done was polling the output of mount, they would not be able to know that the device inserted was a music player (that info u can get from the /sys/bus/usb folder only using the device class and subclass info). So obviously the two are linked somewhere...
i want to mount NTFS by normal users so i used the following entry in fstab /dev/sda6 /media/Mostafa ntfs-3g noauto,exec,rw,user 0 0 however when i try to mount the partition i get the following error Unable to mount Mostafa

I have a non-super user on my box which I'd like to give it MOUNT and UMOUNT permissions but I don't know how.For example purposes, the user name is "USER".I don't want to make it into a SuperUser, just give it rights to be able to issue the MOUNT and UMOUNT commands at the terminal.

I burned a .iso image yesterday but today I can't get it to even read the CD in my drive.

I've just upgraded to the new version of Ubuntu (10.04) and I've got a problem with the mounting configuration.
My PC access to a NAS server which is running samba. Everything worked great before upgrading
In the /etc/fstab, I added the following line :

Sometimes when I restart, my NTFS drives will mount in incorrect directories. It seems to only happen when I plug in USB devices such as flash drives, and keep them in when I boot. I have the fstab file configured correctly, but it still resorts to some odd default mounting points. Edit suposedly the device name changes whenever I boot with a flash drive plugged in. Is there anyway to mount a disk to a dir without pointing to its changing device name.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just plugged my phone containing a new SD card (bought this morning) to my PC, in order to transfert some data. The problem is that the device is detected in lsusb but doesn't appear in fdisk output (otherwise I could mount it by mount /dev/device_name /mnt/temp). It doesn't appear in GParted or as desktop icon, even after rebooting my PC keeping the device plugged in.
Is it possible to mount the SD card using the lsusb ID? Here are my outputs (the device has ID 0fce:01a7)

I'm trying to mount my NAS device via NFS with suse 11.1, but up to now it failed. The NAS does support NFS, but it requires a UID and a user name and up to now I could not figure out the correct nfs mount options for that.
If I just make mount 192.168.0.2:/nas1 /mnt a get the error message "mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.0.2:/nas1". So can somebody please tell me the correct options for user name and user id which the mount should use. And, preferable the correct entry for the etc/fstab file to make this mount being executed automatically during startup. I studied the mount(8) and nfs manpages several times, but I do still have no idea how to make it.

Current stable Debian runs on both machines. I connect a digital camera to the USB on the server ("a") and the camera's filesystem is mounted automatically.I want that same filesystem to be made available to the other machine ("b") through nfs.What should be in fstab for that filesystem, or is something else needed in the configuration for "b" in order to access the filesystem which is physically on "a"?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI posted a similar problem sometime last week...but a little has changed(mainly I can access my files now): I recently performed the auto upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 and upon restart of my machine I am presented with 3 screens. The first is a simple "GRUB loading". The second is "mount: mounting none on /dev failed: no such device". The third screen is a series of initializations, i.e. /dev/sda1:
clean, (number of files), (number of blocks)
*setting preliminary keymap...
and so on until it hits the line:
*checking battery status
at which point it will cease loading until i press the power button. The next thing that occurs is it kills all the processes it just initialized and shuts down the computer. I read that this is likely a problem from loading the wrong kernel and I can get into my files (using a boot 9.10 boot key). The problem is I don't know what files to change in order to get my system booting the right kernel.
I got a sort of usb connected device(not an external enclosure) so i can connect a sata hard drive into a machine that only has ide connections but the drive is not mounting. I am not very good at mounting slave hard drives anyway ,,,,never been able to get one happening without help. I am wanting to read this drive as i killed another desktop machine(i think the mb) and i need the data off the hard drive. The drive is shown in a directory and in the media directory. Can't think of what else sorry as i am so tired from testing everything out of the machine that i killed.....

since I installed fedora 13 in my laptop, every time I want to access my windows drive it asks for root password to authenticate! I know there must be a way to fix this issue, i did this in my Fedora 10, but I forgot how I did it.Can anyone plz help me, so that only one authentication is sufficient, every time I restart/ start it asks for authentication which is very boring and I hate this

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using OpenSuse 11.4 (x86_64) with KDE 4.
It's not possible to mount external USB (ntfs) disks with a non-root user using the Device Notifier or Dolphin. The error is:
Could not mount the following device: MyBook 2
org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.PermissionDenied: Authentication is required
It is a permission problem; running Dolphin under root and clicking the USB disk mounts it without problems. The same should be possible to an ordinary user. The Update Applet does not work for the same reason (I can only install updates using yast).
Of course, I googled the error and there were a number of possible solutions, which I all tried. That includes allowing the action in the policy and adding the user in AdminIdentities local-authority. The file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy contains "yes" for every option. Needless to say it doesn't make sense and I'm out of options.
