Hi, I just bought a 500 gß HDD (Seagate 7200 spin, SATA), with the goal of loading my media on it, to be read both by Win 7 and Kubuntu. The drive would not format in Win 7, so I used Gparted in Kubuntu Live to try and format the drive. Originially formatted to NTFS, but upon rebooting windows, it said the drive was write protected.
I used to have 4 HDD connected in my Ubuntu 11.04, sda, sdb, sdc and sdd (my USB drive), I removed sdc. My HDD are mounted automatically in fstab using UUID=.
On reboot my HDD show as sda, sdb and sdc (my USB). Without rebooting, at times I get an input/output error on sdc.
When files are copied from Windows 7/8 NTFS partition, it throws the following error on some files.
"Error splicing file: Value too large for defined data type"
These files are not random. The copy operation consistently fails on certain files. Some of these files are jpg images with reasonable sizes. Obviously there are no errors when copied to USB drive through Windows 8.
I have a drive formatted with NTFS, and named using utf8 characters. When mounted by the system it replaces all unicode with '?' in the drive name. However, it does a fine job handling unicode within the drive itself. The drive name is identified correctly through ntfslabel
the important line in fstab:
I just had a hard time gaining write access to a second hard drive I installed in my PC. I formatted it with an ext4 filesystem, and the mounting options for the drive in my fstab are: defaults,rw,user,exec. It mounted fine but I couldn't get write access. Changing the mount directory owner from root to my user fixed the problem.
Hi there... I've been searching around for hrs now & it's doing my head in!!!!!!
I've just installed Fedora 17 & i have an NTFS formatted USB drive shared with the 'other' OS on my machine full of music & videos.
Is there anyway to set 'rwx rwx rwx' permissions when a USB drive is auto mounted - without an entry in fstab?
My machine is stuck. I have made a mistake in fstab which causes the boot to hang (stop). "An error occurred during the file system check". I am using F11. I am asked for my root password, which I enter and get to the # prompt. I vi /etc/fstab but can't save changes to the file.
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 inf
I've been trying to mount a second hard drive into Ubuntu. I've been following this guide and a few others that are essentially the same. Everything's going fine until I try to add a file or folder to the mounted drive - I'm then getting permissions errors.
The guides I've looked at seem to suggest you only need the correct permissions for the folder you're mounting into (/mnt/sdb) in my case.
