Ubuntu :: Possible To Automount Usb Disks With Acl Enabled?
May 4, 2011
Is it possible to automatically mount usb disks with access control lists enabled? I mean, WITHOUT adding a line to /etc/fstab for a specific disk;
I want to mount ALL ext4 disks automatically with the acl option (to preserve acls in backups. I don't want to set specific acls on my backup disks; just preserve existing acls).
I already tried enabling acl in /etc/fstab for / and modifying the acl for /media; it did not work (the modification was not even accepted).
Also, I cannot find anything in /etc/hal or /etc/udev that would be modifiable with my knowledge.

i installed latest ubuntu server 9.10 on my mini itx board which i have 1 4gb IDE disk and 4x2TB sata disks attached no i want those disks to automount on startup is there a way without modifiying fstab? the thing is, i want to expand the storage over time (next hard disks in a few months) and maybe a second mainboard in a year so i need a simple way to mount everything without being to mainboard specific like doing fstab entries

I have/had a PC with several hard drives, and a mix of ubuntu and windows on multi boot.The old boot drive died screaming, and I need to start again. (But my data is safe! yay!)
Is there anything special about which drive can be the main drive to start booting from? Or to put it another way, can I install to any of the other 3 and expect it to work, or do I need to switch them around so a different drive is on the connections for the recently dead one?

I have servers which contain SATA disks and SAS disks. I was testing the speed of writing on these servers and I recognized that SAS 10.000 disks much more slowly than the SATA 7200. What do you think about this slowness? What are the reasons of this slowness?
I am giving the below rates (values) which I took from my test (from my comparisons between SAS 10.000 and SATA 7200);
dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile.txt bs=1024 count=1000000 when this comment was run in SAS disk server, I took this output(10.000 rpm)
(a new server,2 CPU 8 core and 8 gb ram)
1000000+0 records in
1000000+0 records out
1024000000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 12.9662 s, 79.0 MB/s (I have not used this server yet) (hw raid1)

I know how to automount ntfs, what I don't know is how to automount a 2nd ext4 partition. I know I can use code...
What am I doing wrong? Also how can I read and write to and form the root of the partition with out opening it as root?
This is not the partition I have ubuntu installed on, this is a 2nd partition.

I have a problem that I can not decide for 2 weeks. Here is what happened: On my laptop, installed just Windows XP. In the past, when I installed the second system, Ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10 (for dual-boot), Ubuntu asked the administrator password for access to just Windows XP partition. I mean, that just Windows XP partitions were visible, but for the entrance (mount) needed a root password.
Now, in Ubuntu 10.04, Windows XP partition mount automatically and Ubuntu does not require the root password. I do not like it very much.
Tell me please, what do the settings at the time of installation of Ubuntu for just Windows XP that the system would be asking root password for just Windows XP partitions? Is this possible? I think - yes. Because in the past the default 9.04 and 9.10 asked for a password.
PS: I must say, as I put Ubuntu and just Windows: 1. Be installed just Windows XP, giving it 20 GB space 100 GB hard drive. </span>The remaining 80 Gigabytes leave out the implications.

today when I inserted my usbpen in the laptop, automount did not work. I tried another pen with same result. I checked with mountmanager and both pens were working and actually mounted them manually, but automount which worked perfectly yesterday now is dead.I found a workaround installing usbmount from standard repository and now automount works again but usbpens are mounted in /MEDIA/usbx instead with their names as before and I have to open a root terminal tu unmount.
Unfortunately I use a pen for backup with unison and changing the mount position I have to modify unison profile every time, which is pretty uncomfortable.The problem May arise from the fact thgat yesterday I tried to manually compile and install the canon driver for my printer and trying to solve dependencies I had to compile and install Glib-2.26 pango-1.28.3 and gtk+2.22 from their sources.I did not manage to get a working canon driver but i may have made a mess with usb automount function.program/service is responsible for usb automount in ubuntu 10.10 so that i can reinstall or reconfigure it.

My goal is to prevent gnome from mounting and opening up a file browser when any device is plugged in (USB, CD/DVD) for a Desktop User account. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook RemixI modified several settings in Nautilus (Edit --> Preferences --> Media (tab). I Selected "Never prompt or start programs on media insertion" and unchecked "Browse media when inserted".I restarted the system, but when I plug in a USB mass storage device the file browser window still appears and the device is mounted.I dug down into gconf and found the following registry keys that I believe are of interest:
/apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount (unchecked)
/apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount_open (unchecked)
/apps/nautilus/preferences/media_autorun_never (checked)
Has anybody run into this problem and found a solution? Modifying the keys I mentioned above worked for everyone else that has asked the "disable automounting" question (that I've found). Some very old posts mentioned gnome-volume-manager, but it is not installed on my system.
EDIT:This seems to only happen when the Netbook Launcher is started. If Netbook Launcher is removed from the list of startup programs and the system is restarted, I can insert devices without getting a pop-up window and without the device being mounted.

I cannot force Ubuntu to open my data DVDs upon their insertion. It is present, but it won't automount. Of course, in /etc/fstab are no indications for removabledevices, but this is correct, I think.

I bought myself an inexpensive USB mp3 player the other day, thinking that I could sync it just like I do my digital camera and thumb drives. No such luck.
The player is identified by 'lsusb -vv' as follows:

I installed Storage Device Manager and can't automount my Windows 7 partition. It doesn't show up in Storage Device Manager. When I mount the partition, it comes up as /media/286CC2A6397A0F2A instead of sda# like normal drives.

I run ubuntu 9.10, and my wife runs winxp. I am trying to setup an automount of her storage (D) drive in my fstab. here is the line in fstab:
The share mounts with no errors, but when i go into palces and view the share, it is blank, totally empty. I can create and delete documents here, but the next time I open the share, i cant see anything. If i connect to the share using places>connect to server, everything is fine. If i connect using places, network, and browse to her machine, it works just fine.
Today i did a fresh install of karmic, installed smbfs, added the above line to fstab, same issue. I have searced and searched but I haven't found a problem exactly like this. This setup has been working fine until sometime recently. I cant be sure exactly when it stopped working, or why. The reason I need it to automount is I have several applications that point to that drive. It is worth noting i have tried several variations on the line in fstab, all with the same results.

This computer is a little netbook that I haul around with me. it's running ubuntu 9.10. In the office, I have a NAS networked on a Windows network. I can access the filesystem in Nautilus using Samba. I'm connecting to the network wirelessly, at wlan0.The folder I want to access shows in Nautilus as
smb://diskstation/storage%20central/
And in Terminal it shows as:
Code:
jackelliott@TheJackUbuntuNetbook:~$ ls .gvfs
storage central on diskstation
How can I set ubuntu up so that when it has connected to the office network it also automounts that Windows share?

I just upgraded to Mythbuntu 10.04 (no fresh installation) and I don't know why but my external eSata drive is no more automatically mounted.The XFCE4 config is set to automount hotpluggable and external drives but nothing happens.The eSata drive is neither automounted when switched on before booting nor when switched on while the system is running.I'm not sure, but it's possible that it worked once or twice after the upgrade. Now, it's dead - I have to mount it all manually.With 9.10 it worked like charm.It's our HTPC and my wife is already making jokes again about her nerd-husband always needing to upgrade a perfectly running system.

After some weeks of use and occasional unplugging-when-busy, my 500GB external USB hard drive no longer will automatically mount when I plug it in. The blue light lights up when I plug it in, but there is no automounting behavior. Also, when I type
Code:
tom@zeppelin:~$ sudo mount -a
nothing happens. The result of fdisk:
Code:
tom@zeppelin:~$ sudo fdisk -l

In 9.10 I could access my auto-mounted network location with something like /home/user/.gvfs/sharename. This was particularly useful for F-Spot because that's the only way I could get it to import photos from my server.However, in 10.04 I no longer have a .gvfs folder and can't find a way to import photos from my server in F-Spot.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and I am trying to automatically mount a windows share by following the advice in this Ubuntu wiki page [url]
However, when I edit the /etc/fstab file as advised and then "sudo mount -a" I get the following message in the terminal window:

The share in question is on a FreeNAS server and the CIFS share is "//192.168.1.1/Music"

how to fix this (10.04 Ubuntu x64):
A couple of weeks ago, my CD/DVD drive stopped working. I'd put in a disk, the light would flash, but it wouldn't appear as a mounted drive. Thinking the drive had finally died, I bought a new one. Same problem.
The drive is recognized by BIOS. I have it as try to mount first in BIOS, and if I put in the Ubuntu boot CD, it boots.
If I put
Code:
/dev/sr0/media/cd-dvdudf,iso9660defaults00
into /etc/fstab, and then mount -a, the drive contents appear and are accessible. However, as expected, the system chokes on boot if there isn't a CD in the drive, and I have to mount -a manually every time I start the system. Ugly.
So this is pretty clearly a software OS problem. how I can get the automount for my CD/DVD drive back?

Situation is that NEITHER Linux Mint 9 NOR Ubuntu Maverick will automount my usb or cdrom? I circumvented by manual mounts thru fstab of my usb stick and usb hard drive. Now I go to burn an iso and find that my cdrom is not detected.
mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 does not do the trick, I cannot burn.
What in the world could I have done to my system ? I think blkid is ok. Win7 burns the iso to cd just fine. All OS on same CPU (grub2). I have done some searches but with minimal success.

I'm trying to get some of my NAS storage to mount on my xubuntu 10.04 box at boot time. I have it in fstab, and when I run
$sudo mount -a
it mounts just fine. However, I have to run that manually, I can't get it to just mount at boot time. Here's the entry from my fstab: [URL] So like I said, manually running mount -a works fine, I just can't get it to do it automatically at boot time. I feel like the auto option should take care of that, and that's what I've read around here, but it's just not working.

I am running Ubuntu Server Lucid.I want to have USB drives and network drives mount at boot, however the drives *may* not be there (after all these are USB drives and also the network may be down making network drives inaccessible).I tried putting entries in the fstab using the UUID, however the boot just hangs if the a drive is not connected (that ureadahead headache).
