automount: helper fails because drive is already mounted?

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – My fstab configuration has always worked, but recently (and somewhat out of the blue,) my Ubuntu has started to attempt to mount my usb hard-drive twice. The error is Unable to mount cloud Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sde1 is already mounted on /media/cloud mount failed Where 'Cloud' is the name of my usb hard-drive. For information my fstab is linked to uuids, and included below: # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc pr (HowTos)

unable to mount hard drives 36 weeks 1 day ago

I am currently trying to backup data from my computer's hard drive to an external one while live-booting to Ubuntu from a USB, and I've encountered a bit of a problem. You see, I cannot mount my hard drives.

I am unable to mount a USB drive (or SD card) to my system without root access.

I wanted to auto-mount all the partitions in my system, (i.e. the C,D,E and F drives from windows). I used ntfs config tool to do that, but it throws me an error when I check the mount selection for my C drive, the one that has Windows installed on it.

I just built a PC and installed a small ssd for the OS and a mechanical hard drive, a Seagate, for saving files etc. on. I followed the guide at found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...gANewHardDrive and chose to mount Manually as the last step. However I am unable, when the Seagate is mounted in /media/seagate to write to the disk. I am not sure what I need to change.

Hi i'm very new in the community and i'm having some problems.

I used to make a backup with rsynck in an external hard disk conected by usb.

Ubuntu stoped mounting it automatically, and i can't mount it.

Here is my fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to n

I have tried and tried and tried and finally tired of doing this. I have bought new harddisk and installed Ubuntu in that . All file systems are mounted except one.

so again i have made new partition table.But again another partition not mounted.

so i have opened disk utility and copied error message i got while doing Mounting from There .

[ubuntu] Can't Mount HDD 3 years 13 weeks ago

I'm having trouble with accessing a brand new hard drive. I just put it in the computer and the start of the week, replacing one that failed. Its formatted in ext4 and was working perfectly fine then yesterday when I was trying to access it (hoping to be able to back up the data) it came up with an error that read.
