Ubuntu :: Hide Partitions From The Places Sidebar Even If Mounted

Jan 24, 2010

How do I...

* Prevent the sdb1 + sdb2 ext4 partitions from being shown in Nautilus/Thunar Places sidebar.

* Prevent the Western Digital SmartWare VirtualCD, sdr1, from being shown in Nautilus/Thunar Places sidebar. It is just a VCD that is part of the firmware of the external (sdb) hard drive. *GAG!*

I don't care if they are mounted or not, though I prefer if they aren't. As long as they don't show up on the Places sidebar AT ALL, I'll be happy. I never use them, but keep mounting them by accident.

Here's my fstab, can you tell me why it's not doing the above?

Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

[Code]....

Ubuntu :: Hide Partitions In GRUB2?

Aug 30, 2010

I would like to hide two entries in my GRUB2...(to clean up a BURG theme)

Dell Utility Partition -on- /dev/sda1

Microsoft XP Embedded (Which I believe is Dell Media Direct) -on- /dev/sda5

I understand that you must edit it in either 'menu.lst' or '30-os-prober' files.

The entry is a little like this... (?)

Code:
if [ -z "${LONGNAME}" ] ; then
LONGNAME="${LABEL}"
fi
if [ "${DEVICE}" = "/dev/sdXY" ]; then

[Code]....

Debian :: Set Partitions To Hide Or Read Only?

Feb 21, 2010

I wish that some partitions were hidden and others were read only, moreover I wish that these settings can't be edited by other users (except of course root user). For do this, have I only in "fstab" file in "etc" folder to comment (or delete) lines relatives to partitions that I wish are hides and I set options to "ro" to lines relatives to partitions that I wish are read only?

Slackware :: How To Hide/activate Partitions With LILO

Jun 3, 2010

My OS are installed as follows:

Windows 7 on /dev/sda1 (primary) type=7 (HPFS/NTFS)
WinXP on /dev/sda2 (primary) type=c (W95 FAT32 (LBA))
Linux on /dev/sda6 (logica1)

I'd like to make Win7 hidden (and deactivated) when booting WinXP from lilo (and conversely). Following the lilo manpage I set up the boot items

# Windows bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/sda1
label = Win7
table = /dev/sda

[Code]....

Line 50 is indicated above. I have experimented with variations on the above, but still can't get lilo to accept my syntax.

Fedora :: Hide Windows System Ntfs Partition?

Nov 21, 2009

I have a dual-boot system, Windows XP on primary HDD and Fedora on Slave HDD. NTFS -3G is installed in Fedora, but I would like to hide (or not mount) Windows system partition on Fedora boot, as I have multiple users in Fedora and do not want them to access this partition. I do want to mount/display my NTFS D: partition in Fedora. Is there a way to exclude an NTFS partition from mounting by default?

Ubuntu :: Hide Partitions/Drives From Nautilus (side Panel)?

May 29, 2010

I have 2 drives formatted NTFS, which I'm mounting with /etc/fstab to ~/Movies/ and ~/Music/ and an EXT4 partition on my primary drive for games, mounted to ~/Roms/ and I would like for these drives to NOT show up in the side panel of nautilus.

I've been doing some looking around, and what I've found so far is that supposedly if you mount a partition/drive somewhere besides /media/ nautilus will ignore it. I'm finding this not to be the case, and it's driving me bonkers. here's my fstab:

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
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

Ubuntu :: Max Amount Of Mounted Partitions

May 11, 2011

I'm just wondering because I'm going to to test out just how many partitions I can make and mount on GPT. Is there a theoretical limit on the amount of partitions or mounts allowed? I was thinking there would be depending on if you were running i386 or x86_64 because both can only handle up to a certain interger.

Ubuntu :: 9.04 - Mounted Partitions Disappeared (Fstab Is Bad)

Jan 14, 2011

My Laptop has Ubuntu 9.04 and I am using it for the past one year. I have four partitions. Gparted Screen Shot attached.
/dev/sda5 was mounted as "Laptop 2"
/dev/sda6 was mounted as "Laptop 3"

But from today morning I was not able to access any of the files from my hard disk. When I press the "Computer" Menu Item from the "Places" menu I could access all the files on my hard disk. It shows an error message attached with this thread. The system boots perfectly and work perfectly. "Laptop 2" and "Laptop 3" disappeared.

I searched the net and found ways to mount the Partitions with these following commands.
sudo nano /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5) .....

Is there any way I could use "Laptop 2" and "Laptop 3" as my mount points as it was earlier.

Debian :: HDA5 Cannot Be Mounted NTFS 3G

Oct 8, 2010

I've carelessly installed grub on hda5 instead of hda, using:
# grub-install /dev/hda5
And now my hda5 cannot be mounted with ntfs-3g. Here the error message 'mount' gives:
Failed to mount '/dev/hda5': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/hda5' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.

As far as I know, grub-install rewrites the 1st sector of the device, and I've been reading this guide on recover the 1st sector of an NTFS partition. The problem is that the Disk Probe tool is available in Windows only. Is there any similar software in Debian to do the same thing (i.e allows us to edit sectors of the hard drives available in the computer)? Any easier tool / method to restore the NTFS partition without read and write sectors manually.

General :: One Of My LVM Partitions Is Not Mounted/does Not Shows Up

May 26, 2011

Created partitions, some of them LVM, in a server, say A. Did the same for another server, B, but created one more LVM partition.

Installed RHEL in A, and some other applications. Made dump files for each partition of A and restored all of them them in B. No error in that process, except B wouldn't boot. Did chroot /mnt/sysimage and grub-install /dev/sda--still no good. B came to a halt with GRUB> dispalyed. <tried many things many times.. searching Googles..but w/o luck) Gave up, and restored the bootloader part using OS CD -- I say restored because now B boots ok and I can see application that I had installed in A. So far so good.

Problem: that extra LVM partition is missing! I did not knowingly overwrite it, so where did it go? Somebody is keeping it from being displayed!

Is it the grub.conf that tells the OS what to mount and what not to? If yes, problem is , grub.conf is missing in B. In A, it is in /boot/grub/. df -kh shows other partions (some of them LVM) just fine.. what is going on?

I tracked a file called menu.lst in a strange place, in /usr/share/doc/grub-0.97.. but I didn't see any entry that loads partitions.

Ubuntu :: Stuck Ntfs Partition Mounted + Kded Crashes?

Sep 17, 2010

I have a windows partition mounted that will not allow me to load my kubuntu 10.10 meerkat. i can enter an older kernal but my older kernal says cant contact kded and all my kde apps will not work such as wireless networking and autp ip configurations. although i can run the internet in this kernal wired however manually putting my ip and other numbers in for wireless connection fails. all other kernals do not load because they say i have a ntfs drive mounted. so my question is how can i unmount this drive and make my kernal work again or how can i fix kded from crashing on my second kernal so i can use that one. i have already tried sudo unmount /media/windows and other simular commands i also tried a mounting app and reinstalling kubunt desktop also check disk on windows with clean shut down does not work either.

Software :: Automount Show Mounted Partitions?

Jan 20, 2011

I am using direct mounts because I like being able to cd to the directory and use tab completion..versus indirect mounts where you can not do that since the directories are virtual.But, why does the /proc/mounts show these directories mounted(I have not cd to them)? Are they technically mounted? The reason why I use automount is because if I ever have power failures at least not all filesystems that are not being used will be unmounted and not corrupted.

Code:
localhost init.d # cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0

Debian Configuration :: LVM Partitions Not Getting Mounted At Boot Time

Apr 18, 2010

I have two partitions in LVM. They are added in /etc/fstab to mount automatically. But, they are not working. The process to mount partitions seems to be happening before the service /etc/init.d/lvm2 is started. I can get it mounted using "mount -a" command, but not during the boot time. What should I do get it automatically mounted on every boot?

I know I do fdisk -l /dev/sda and see all the partitions on that disk, and I know I can do mount and see all the mounted partitions. Is there a way to do both at the same time? Ideally what I'd like to see is the output of fdisk -l but with an additional column that shows if a partition is mounted or not.
