Ubuntu :: Auto-Mount Encrypted Drive Upon Login Lucid
Jul 31, 2010I am trying to have an encrypted drive auto-mounted once i log into Lucid.
I created the encrypted drive with the disk utility in administration menu
I also have the password remembered "forever" so when i am logged in i just click the icon for the drive on left panel and it mounts.
I am able to find the uuid and know what device is called sdd but i don`t know how to put it into fstab if that is possible?
Ubuntu Servers :: Mount A USB Drive In Rc.local With /sbin/mount And UUID Instead Of Fstab?
Feb 6, 2010I run a headless Ubuntu 8.04 server, which acts as a web, email and file server. I am sticking with 8.04 as it is a LTS release and will upgrade to the next LTS when it is released.
I have two external USB drives, that I need to mount at boot. I have been using /etc/fstab up until now, with the following entries:
Code:
However, as I gather from doing searches is quite common, occasionally I get an error during boot (causing the system to drop to a recovery shell) because the USB drives take time to wake up and the system hasn't found them by the time it reads /etc/fstab.
From doing searches, it seems there is nothing you can do to fstab to fix this, so you need to mount them using an rc.local script instead, using:
Code:
The problem is, as I have two USB drives, their /dev/sdxx location changes between boots. I thus want to use UUID codes as I do in fstab, however I haven't found anything about this.
Does anyone know how I can use the mount command and UUID to mount a drive in rc.local and what options I have to use the mount the drive with the same options that I am using in my fstab entry? Obvisouly, I can't refer back to fstab using the mount command, because then I will still get the boot error issue if they are listed in fstab. And there is no space internally for the USB drives as there is already two internal drives.
Ubuntu :: Unable To Mount Internal Drive - Error: Mount Exited With Exit Code 1: Helper Failed
Aug 5, 2010I have 2 internal drives. One is for the OS and one is for the Data. I tried to get the Data drive to mount automatically at login using some crap I found on a linux blog. Safe to say it didn't work and now I can't mount it with the OS on the OS Drive.
It mounts from a live CD and all the data is perfectly safe. When I try to mount the drive I get this error message: "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/data" What have I done wrong and how can I make it mount again? Preferably this time at login.
Ubuntu Networking :: Samba And External Drive - Unable To Mount Location - Failed To Mount Windows Share - Dialog Box
May 25, 2010I have been trying to share folders from my main PC which is running Ubuntu 10.04. I have been able to figure out Samba enough to get my a couple of folders shared, but I have been unable to share any folders which are on my external harddrive. After entering the path in my smb.conf file they appear on the network but I am unable to navigate to them. When trying to navigate to them through the network folder on the pc they are actually connected to I get an "Unable to mount location: Failed to mount windows share" dialog box. On the windows pc I am trying to share with I get, "Windows cannot acces \Josh-Desktop
ame of folder"
My smb.conf file looks like this:
That folders I cannot access are Music and Videos.
General :: Mount External USB Drive In Debian To A Mount Point Based On The Volume Name
May 5, 2011How do I configure my Debian installation to mount external USB drives to mount points based on the volume names of the drives? For instance, if I have a thumb drive with the volume name of "SWORDFISH," how do I have Linux mount it at /media/SWORDFISH? I'm aware that this can be setup in FSTAB, but that requires that I know the UUID of the device beforehand and that I take the time to set each external device up in FSTAB first. That does nothing for me when I have a thumb drive that has never been plugged into my computer before.
This seems to be setup by default in Ubuntu/Kubuntu, but is not working for me with a fresh installation of Debian Squeeze and KDE4. I've spent the past 2 hours Googling for a solution and have turned up nothing. UPDATE: My results are inconsistent. Sometimes Debian mounts devices to mount points based on the volume names, and other times it gives them generic mount points (e.g. /media/usb1).

Server :: Auto Mount USB Drive To Specified Mount Point After Reboot
Jul 19, 2010I have servers installed with RHEL 4 2.6.9-89.0.9 ELsmp. I tried using uuid and label in /etc/fstab to automount usb drives to mountpoints that I specify after reboot. Unfortunately, it just does not work in all my RHEL4 servers. After every reboot, /etc/fstab will be automatically modified and all configurations related to my USB drives will be changed. Irregardless of whether i use UUID or LABEL in my /etc/fstab.However, it works on RHEL5. But, upgrading is not an option in my environment. I have been googling around looking for alternatives but everything seems to point back to using UUID or LABEL in /etc/fstab. Anyone has tried something that works? Please help me, thank you.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Get Network Drive To Mount As A Local Drive?
Aug 2, 2010I was trying to figure out how to get my network drive to mount as a local drive on my computer. This was back on 9.10. Since I've upgraded to 10.04, my boot process halts and tells me (paraphrasing) /shared is not ready to mount. To continue, pres S to skip or M to manually mount the drive.
Well, I have it mounting now through GVFS and I don't need this in my startup anymore. Frankly, it's just annoying that it won't boot into Ubuntu right away. So, what's the startup file I need to edit to remove the attempt to mount the network drive?
Ubuntu :: Add More Space - C Drive Is Mounted And The E Drive Will Not Mount
Jan 19, 2011I have just installed Xubuntu and suprisingly it did not ask me to create a partition within its installer like Ubuntu does. So now, I am left with 150mb of free space. I want to expand that amount. The problem is, I do not know where it has been installed on. I have a C and an E drive. Currently, the C drive is mounted and the E drive will not mount even if i press the mount button. Does anyone have a solution?

Jun 12, 2011no entries exist in the /dev folder for hdc,cdrom,dvd, or any other drive or drive type than hda. The only other similar device is sg0 which doesn't work either. I have tried every variation of mount I can find with every available drive and drive type and nothing works, but this is the drive I installed FC14 with, and it installed perfectly (except for forgetting where it came from!!)Do I have to install a module or recompile the kernel just to get linux to recognize the drive it came from?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Run A Script Using GVFS-mount At Login?
Jul 1, 2010-Lucid Lynx
-Likewise-open to connect to an AD
-add all network shares to the nautilus favourite places
-our script is working fine if you are running the script manually from an opened session
-it's not working when placed in /etc/profile.d
What the script is doing:
-reading the .bat script name from the AD using the user login
-mounting the netlogon share
-reading the content of the netlogon script
-finding the network share names and adding them to the nautilus favourite places
What is failing: it does not mount the netlogon share using gvfs-mount Maybe because it's run too early in the process? note that a new user may log in any time, and we want this to be entirely automatic. So we cannot put the script in /home/login/*, as the home is not created yet at first login.

Ubuntu :: Can't Mount D Drive?

I can see both my drives with gparted, but I cannot mount the d drive, I put the Ubuntu install next to windows on the c drive but last time I installed 10.04 I could see my d drive, that is where all my music and .avi files are located. I get an error when trying to mount this drive:

Just found out that after the 10.04 install, my d drive was wiped out, any way of getting those files back? I haven't formatted yet with windows. Windows needs to format it and Ubuntu can't mount it, it is nowhere land.
Ubuntu :: Mount Second Drive ?
Feb 8, 2011"Old" disk was the primary - and only - drive. 500 GB.
I have to move that drive to a new machine off-site, so I'd like to get the 10 or so GB of data from it and put the data on a "new" drive - 80 GB, with an existing maverick installation.
I tried to use Acronis to create an image. That way, the new drive would be a clone of the old drive, other than being much smaller. Acronis wouldn't allow it because of the size difference.
When booting to the "new" sda everything works ... except that maverick "sees" sdb, but won't let me access the data partition sdb2.disk utility "sees" sdb and describes it as having boot partition sdb1, and the other 499 GB , sdb2 (and sdb5) nautilus and dolphin both "see" sda and can access all of the data (such as it is, given that it's a new installation) nautilus and dolphin both "see" sdb, but only access the 255 MB boot partition sdb1 I tried doing a clean install on the "new" drive. In that install I left the old drive in place as a second drive - hoping that the installation would recognize it as a second drive and mount it properly.
However:
1) it didn't do anything with the old drive and
2) the results are the same - no access to the data partition on the "old" drive.
I think the problem is that I need to mount sdb2, but I can't figure out how. Here is the information from fdisk:
Do I enter information in fstab to enable mounting? If so, which information do I use?
Or is there another way to access the 10 GB of data on sdb and get it on to sda?
By the way, in the course of messing with this, I managed to make the "old" drive unbootable, so I can't just reverse the drives' roles. The "old" drive has the boot partition marked as bootable, and I switch drive jumpers (and cable setup)
Ubuntu Servers :: Domain Login And Home Folder Mount
Apr 1, 2010I have Ubuntu Server installed in one machine and ubuntu desktop in 3 more machines. What I would like to have is, authenticate the clients using a central user DB and also the home folder for a user should be available in any client machine in which he logs. I see that openLDAP takes care of authenticating clients but what application to use to mount the user's home folder from the server to the client machine on logging.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Auto Mount Encrypted Volume Using Login Passphrase?
May 3, 2010I recently installed Ubunutu 10.04 Netbook Remix onto a Dell Vostro A90. During install I selected "Require my password to log in and to decrypt my home folder", and this is working great.
What I would like to figure out, is how to have a second encrypted volume that lives on my SD Card that is also decrypted automatically upon login.
I've tried a variety of things, but they all require me to re-enter my password at some point during the boot/login, once for user login and the other time to decrypt/mount the volume. I am trying to avoid this, and hopefully will only have to enter my password once. Maybe I can piggyback on the default Ubunutu home directory decryption and make it all appear seamless?
