Ubuntu :: Shared Folder Mounted On Startup - Fstab

Oct 27, 2010

I want to have a shared folder mounted on startup and I put the following in my fstab:
Code:
VMShare /media/VMShare vboxsf defaults,gid=1001,dmask=002 0 0
Where did 1001 corresponds to the virtual share group.

When I boot up the permissions are as follows(from ls -l):
Code:
drwxr-xr-x 1 root virtualshare 68 2010-10-27 15:45 VMShare/

So I'm curious why it's group permissions aren't the same as owner? In the fstab I put dmask=002 which should lead to rwxrwxr-x so basically full permissions for owner and group and read/execute for public. However thats not what I'm getting. Also once I get this working correctly am I going to have an issue if the virtualshare group isn't a users primary group? On some older unix servers I ran into this issue, hopefully it won't matter as long as the user in in the group.

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.

Ubuntu :: Mounted Partition Not Showing Up In Fstab

Jan 16, 2011

I'm totally new with linux and Ubuntu. I've just installed 10.10 yesterday and since then it's been an uphill struggle These forums has helped me out quite a bit already so I hope you can continue doing it with this problem I have.I got a single drive where the bootpartition is ext4 and the other "storage" partition is a remenant from a windows 7 installation I had, with NTFS. Decided I wanted to give Ubuntu a try! Now i've run into permission trouble though, mainly because I wanted to set up an FTP server (oh what a struggle THAT's been, I have some stories... ). I've done a "mount --bind" so that I can reach different resources directly from my chroot. It turns out though that the mounted partition isn't giving anyone except the owner (me) permission to see the resources. FTPing into the server gives the mount points but gives a 550 error and can't list anything inside of them.It works perfectly for me just running it at the prompt or using the mount points directly in the Ubuntu GUI though (since I'm the owner/admin/whatever).

My intended solution that I've found was that people with NTFS drives did a few magic tricks with the line of text in Fstab so they could access their NTFS drives. Problem for me is that my sda3 mount isn't showing up at all in fstab, even though fstab is supposed to (as far as I know) show all mounted devices on there. All the while, I have my sda3 totally accessible from /media/Storage/. Any pointers as to why this is?After I installed Ubuntu, I just mounted the sda3 with the Disk Utility from System->Administation and didn't think much of it afterwards until now.What's the best course of action here? remount the ntfs partiton using fstab? Convert the ntfs partition into an ext4? I have a lot of data on there I want to keep as well.

Ubuntu Networking :: Failing At Fstab For Shared Drive

Dec 20, 2010

I have an external HD attached to my desktop and setup as a shared resource. I want to be able to access it from my laptop as well. After much trying and drinking, I ended up with this in fstab:

//crackbox/seagate /seagate -o

then began giving me an error about not recognizing the file system type. I've been reading everything I can find and trying to get it to work, and have come up with very little. My fstab now contains this line instead of the above:

Now, when I reload fstab with "sudo mount -a", I get this output:

General :: Unable To Share Folder In Suse 10.0 / Folder Defaults To Not Shared

May 13, 2010

I wanted to enable file sharing in for one of my folders under the home directory. I noticed that the 'not shared' and 'shared' always defaulted back to 'not shared'. And now I see what looks like an electrical plug icon symbol over the folder icon symbol like I might see used for some of the root folders. What does the new icon indicate about the folder attributes and why does file sharing default to 'not shared'?

General :: Unpluging Mounted Shared Dir - Will It Crash The Filesystem

Nov 19, 2010

For example we have a PC with Linux and, let's say, ext4. It is connected to another PC with Linux and Samba-shared dir.First PC mounted shared dir of the second one. So it's in the filesystem, for example in "/mnt/000/". What will happen if I unplug the net cable from first PC? Will ext4 on the first PC crash so I'll have to perform fsck? I know that hot unpluging of mounted HDD probably will make filesystem read-only available and generally damaged.

OpenSUSE Network :: Desktop Icons For Mounted Windows Shared Drives

I mount the shared drives (on a Windows Server 2003) and I can access them from my home directory. Everything is mostly fine. But I also get desktop icons for the shared drives, which I don't like since I prefer a bare desktop. Sometimes I have deleted desktop icons from /usr/share/dist/... but these are not there.

Ubuntu :: Fstab Mount Results In Empty Folder?

May 1, 2011

I've recently installed Natty and now I've got a problem mounting two of my partitions via fstab. This is what my fstab file looks like:

Code:
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
UUID=2ea65813-a227-405f-90d2-69598120808e / ext4 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUID=6e4f2339-b796-484e-9473-804b4db1531e /home ext4

[Code].....

I CAN mount them by first executing sudo umount -a (which tells me that the two partitions in question cannot be unmounted, because they are not mounted) and then sudo mount -a (which correctly mounts the two partitions). The mount does not work, if I omit the umount command.

Ubuntu :: EXT4 Partition Is Not Mounted On Startup?

Nov 11, 2010

I have two ext4 partitions: one with Ubuntu 10.10 64-bits and the other just for storing files.When I log on to Ubuntu, my second partition is not mounted. Shouldn't Ubuntu mount my second partition by default (since it recognizes it as ext4)?If it should, why is this happening to me?If it shouldn't, how can I get my second partition to be mounted at startup? Should it be by using the same solution provided by prayag_pjs (first reply)[URL]

We have an Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d in our office. for past two days the shared public folder is not getting mounted. but it's working fine through the web interface i.e user can upload/download.that rules out the permissions problems.

I am providing the output of mount command:

t227@t227:/var/log$ sudo mount -t cifs --verbose //192.100.100.37/public /mnt/public/ -o username=shrey
[sudo] password for t227:
Password:

[Code]....

in fact i can't access any of the folder which I am having permissions to rw.but it's working fine through the web interface.

P.S:- On windows also I can't mount the folder.
