hey friends
i am trying to create a symbolic or hard link for a file in my pen drive but i am unable to create.my pen drive is auto mounted,and i also mount it on /mnt directory.i am able to do rest of operation except creating link.

on doing this operation i am getting this error message
ln: creating symbolic link `ll': Operation not permitted.

i already tried this after changing user as s root but got same error message.
please help me

Hi, welcome to LQ!

I'll hazard a guess and say that pen-drive is formatted w/ either
FAT or NFTS. Neither of which have facilities for links. If you
want symlinks you may have to format the pen w/ a Linux native
file-system like ext2/3/4, reiserfs, xfs, jfs, ...


Cheers,
Tink

i tried to create a new file system named ext4 wd command
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
and execute mount command in this way--------$mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
where dev/sdb1 is node for my pen drive

but now i unable to open my pen drive..

please solve my prob.

Can you be more explicit than this? What do you do exactly? and what is the response to your action?
jdk

In order to create a link i want to change file system type of my pen drive so take following steps

I created a new file system named ext4 wd command for my pen drive
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
and execute mount command in this way--------$mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
where dev/sdb1 is node for my pen drive

but now in my pen drive there is directory named lost+found is created and when i am trying to open this directory following errors are coming===

could not open u don't have a permission.

You don't need to open the lost+found directory. Have you tried again to create your symbolic link? Has that succeeded?
jdk

in my pen drive right now only one directory named lost+found and this directory are open.
there is nothing else in this pen drive and no operation are possible right now...

Try
mkdir /mnt/my_directory

Once again you are very vague. What command(s) did you give and what were the responses? Try Tink's suggestion and if you have problems try to give more detail than "no operation possible".

thanks for helping me to solve pen drive problem. finaaly i am able to resolve the pen drive's problem.
Now i am having problem with sshd server.
i try to install sshd server on hardware board which is mips64.
i successfully install sshd server,now sshd server is running.i am able to remote login with sshd user but not with root user.

when i am trying wd root following error come...
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

i have another issue is that---when i was executing sshd(executable file) on my hardware i got this error message Privilage separation user sshd does not exit.for resolving that problem i created a user and group named sshd.now problem is that if made sshd entry first in /etc/passwd file,then i am to resolved privilage seperation problem but if i made root entry first in /etc/passwd file then same error message again occur. =============what is this..

Please mark this thread as [Solved] if you're happy. Do not start a different topic. You will get no answers because you're question has nothing to do with the thread title. Please start your new thread (about the sshd server) with a good title and then you can get help.
