Stories similar to [ubuntu] Mount portable HDD and NAS in Ubuntu with UUID

Hello all, first of all I am running 13.04, and having trouble mounting disks at startup.

Good knowledgeable,

I have Win xp professional and two portable Ubuntu in it. Those portable Ubuntus are 8.04 LTS and version 4 U10.4 Remix. I had download for pubuntu version v4 U10.4 many applications so it said that there is almost 3.4 GB and so full.

Only root can mount, why? 39 weeks 5 days ago

I am dual booting Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7. I looked at my /etc/fstab yesterday and realized it did not contain my Windows 7 partition. So I added it myself, but now it tells me it cannot mount the partition.

For clarity, my goal is to create a bootable install usb using the instructions in the guide here but following this results in a non-bootable usb which will not even mount as a drive once the computer has booted up.

Furthermore every 12.x iso I have tried will not even mount using the OS X disk utility, instead showing an error message "Unable to mount the_iso_i_am_trying.iso (no mountabl

[SOLVED] I broke my swap! 15 weeks 4 days ago

Hi all. It's been a while since I've been here. I just installed F18 LXDE, and so far, so good until just now.

I don't have much experience with lvm, but was trying. I reduced the lv for swap, which worked well, but now the swap is gone from fstab.

why I have 2 swap paritions? 7 weeks 5 days ago

I'm new in using Ubuntu, Ijust installed ubuntu 12.10 and everytime I start up the pc, a message tell me to mount manually the swap. This is my current situation:

sudo blkid /dev/sda1: UUID="fa675e68-de82-4257-8960-bb312d08e113" TYPE="ext2" /dev/sda5: UUID="NLQ7rm-qbYa-QS4y-If3b-nLaY-FHZq-Dklhr8" TYPE="LVM2_member" /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root: UUID="bf5875d5-5cdd-4b08-a16e-168f75e535e9" TYPE="ext4"

At some point, a kernel or other update has removed or is no longer creating the /dev/disk/by-uuid folder; only by-id and by-path are in /dev/disk. Missing the uuid causes a problem on boot because fstab is configured to use UUID=mumble for mounting two of the drives.

I'm trying to mount a Nokia 620 phone running Win8 on my Ubuntu 12.10 box. I can see the device using lsusb, but from what I can see it's not listed under sudo blkid. I'm trying to follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB

Has anyone done this successfully?

Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS 32 bit. My fstab looks like this:

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.
