mounting problem
Hi there,
I am new to linux. After installing fedora 10 I wanted to mount an additional ext3 partition (I forgot to mount it during installation). after editing fstab and rebooting, I found all other partitions are unmounted. Code:
Any suggestion? Thanks. |
I don't know what you mean by "all other partitions are unmounted". I think that would mean the computer would not function.
Assuming that you are able to boot up OK, try "mount -a". That should mount everything in fstab. Also try mounting the partition manually. I'm confused as to why you are mounting something to /media---and then also to /media/xxxx. Please post the output of "fdisk -l" (run as root....ell, not one) |

when doing mount -a nothing happen and everything still the same. I am mounting only to /media/xxxx not to /media alone. However, I feel the problem in this part as I see all the mouniting points repeating in the folder l_drive (i.e. when I open l_drive I found c_drive and d_drive l_drive which should not be like this) Code:

not sure, but i don't think you can use umask for ext3 partition. try removing it from the fstab

If you aren't able to finish booting, comment out entries for the ntfs partitions so you can finish booting.
Then boot up and try to mount them manually using the same arguments that are in the commented out entries. Note any errors. Don't use the "umask" option for the ext3 filesystem. It is just for vfat, ntfs and samba shares. Make sure that the ntfs-3g package is installed. Also make sure that the fuse package is installed. It contains utilities and configuration files. Also check that the fuse kernel module is loaded, (E.G. lsmod | grep fuse) |

If your problem is the two NTFS partitions, try change the two lines from /dev/sda1 /media/c_drive ntfs-3g rw,defaults,umask=0000 0 0 /dev/sda5 /media/d_drive ntfs-3g rw,defaults,umask=0000 0 0 to /dev/sda1 /media/c_drive ntfs-3g rw,users,umask=022 0 0 /dev/sda5 /media/d_drive ntfs-3g rw,users,umask=022 0 0 or /dev/sda1 /media/c_drive ntfs rw,users,umask=022 0 0 /dev/sda5 /media/d_drive ntfs rw,users,umask=022 0 0 and then run # mount -a That should work ... I myself, use the second option. Let me guess, that you have already created the directories /media/c_drive and /media/d_drive. Right ? Or Else you cannot mount on them ... Best wishes ... Vas |
I have seen some "unusual" behavior with ntfs-3g when it is not the last item in fstab. I would rearrange (and drop umask) the ext3 mount that precedes (in fstab) the ntfs-3g partitions. A reboot should not be needed, just use a umount -a after any fstab changes.

Lets see your new and improved fstab. If nothing else we now know that there is a problem(of some sort) with the ext3 line.

Why did you switch from the /dev/sda8 form to the uuid form? And change mount pts? Not that either should matter but changing more than one thing at a time makes it much more difficult to trouble shoot. Is sda8 being working now?

sda8 is not working neither now nor before! Any suggestion? Thanks. |
Could you post any /var/log/messages log entries posted when mounting an ntfs filesystem fails?
Did you check if the fuse module is loaded? |
