auto mount problem, char. encoding, missing desktop icon (Solved: 1 of 3 problems)
Hello all,
First of all, I do not know where may I post the topic so if I am wrong, sorry... I still have to use Windows, but mostly booting from Linux Ubuntu (Dapper Drake) and I sometimes format Windows or may be Linux (This is the sign that I am really newby); that's why I needed a backup partition that can be accessible both Linux and Windows. There only one partition type as I want is Fat32. I partitioned my disk as: 13GB NTFS (sda1) +40GB Fat32 (sda5) (extended) +1.3GB swap (sda6) (extended) 20GB Ext3 (sda2) There was no read or write problem to the common partition (sda5). I drag and drop (with cutting) the folder C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop in D:\hede. This got my Desktop to D:\hede\Desktop so if there is a boot failure, I can format C: (sda1) safely. Then while thinking on this, there is an idea light on my head: "if I made myDesktop move to the common partition, then I can make it same for Linux". There is no way to make it possible in Linux... Someone said that this errors (chown 644 /media/sda5/hede can not be done) are getting because of the partition type of the common partition, Fat32. There is no way to attribute user access rights if it is a Fat32 partition, he said. Then I backup my all data, deleted the partition Fat32, made a new partiton with the id ext3; while doing these I used PartitionManager. Then I restored my data. In windows, I installed a driver from the site fs-driver.org and with the same methode, I set my windows_desktop folder to sda5 which is now ext3. There is NO PROBLEM in windows although it is a linux partition. When I boot with linux, there is no harddrive icon named sda5 mounted on my desktop. It was normal, so I modified fstab like this: Code:
ceremcem@Zeytin:~$ cat /etc/fstab mount: wrong filetype, wrong option, superblock error on /dev/sda5, missing characterset or there is another error I can mount /dev/sda5 which is ext3 manually by typing Code:
sudo mount /dev/sda5 /media/sda5 While in Linux, I can access my files on sda5 when mounted it manually,I can listen my musics, read my documents on sda5 but their filenames are incorrect which are including Turkish characters as ı,ö,ü,ş,ç,ğ. There is no problem with the filenames which are containing the same characters in sda1 (still looking from Linux). And also when I am in windows, there is no problem with the characters on sda5 (ext3 now), but same issue (wrong encoding) on sda2 (ext3). sda5 and sda2 has the same partition type; why the characters is normally decoded on sda5 but not sda2 by Windows? (this is my second problem) If I make the ntfs-3 line active in fstab and ntfs line inactive, sda1 is mounted correctly on /media/sda1 but there is no desktop icon. How can I fix this problem? (This is my third and the last problem) Thanks for your attention |
Change the /etc/fstab entry to look like your entry for the other linux partition, maybe something like;
Code:
/dev/sda5 /media/sda5 ext3 users,auto,rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 |
Hello,
My first (and the biggest) problem has solved by editing fstab as: Code:
/dev/sda5 /media/sda5 ext3 defaults,user,auto,rw 0 0 Thank you for reply |
