Cannot mount certain partitions: /dev/ entries do not exist

Hello all. Strange problem here. First I will describe my disk layout. I triple boot Gentoo, Arch, and FreeBSD. My partitions look like this:
/dev/hda = MAXTOR 6L040J2, ATA DISK drive 40GB
hda1 = shared '/boot' partition
hda2 = gentoo '/' partition
hda3 = gentoo '/usr/' partition
hda4 = gentoo '/home' partition
/dev/hdb = SAMSUNG SP0802N, ATA DISK drive 80GB
hdb1 = shared music partition mounted as /home/music on both Gentoo and Arch
hdb2 = shared swap partition
hdb3 = FreeBSD partition
hdb4 = logical Partition
hdb5 = archlinux '/' partition
hdb6 = shared video partition mounted as /home/music/video on both Gentoo and Arch
Now both gentoo and arch use devfs. From gentoo I can see all partitions in the /dev directory and mount accordingly, however, from Arch I cannot mount my gentoo partitions on /dev/hda, and in fact they do not even exist in the /dev directory. Only /dev/hda1 is visible (the shared boot partition which holds all my kernels regardless of distro).
Running fdisk -l /dev/hda from arch gives me this puzzling output:
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40027029504 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4866 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 4111 33021576 55 EZ-Drive
So it would seem that fdisk thinks that /dev/hda1 takes up the entire drive, and is labeled as 'EZ-Drive'?!?!?!?!?!? I can assure you that running the same command from gentoo gives me the correct partitions and disklabels ie: id 83 Linux
Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on here? This isn't really a big deal at this point, just an interesting annoyance that I would like to discover the cause of.
TIA

I don't know how it could be that the kernels interpret the partition table differently, and I'm certainly not sure that this is what's going on. That's why I suggested loading Arch with the Gentoo kernel. I wouldn't expect the system to be its true self, but merely satesfy the curiosity by checking whether it would see the right partitions (a.k.a. trouble-shooting).
It shouldn't be a problem to test this, unless your Arch root uses a file system that is not built into your Gentoo kernel. If for instance hdb5 is reiserfs and your 2.4 kernel has that as a module, you're probably out of luck regarding my suggestion. If this is the case, you could also try the Arch 2.4 kernel. It can coexist with your current kernel because the kernel packages for the two trees have different names.
pacman -S kernel
Hope this helps,

This looks fine to me, but when /dev/sda1 is mounted at /new_root, none of the other devices are mounted....
I don't know if this is what's causing the problem since /etc, and /usr are on separate partitions from root, but
this would be the first time I get a problem dividing things this way (on ubuntu, mint, fedora, et cetera).
So I tried:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1283343
I get "* is owned by filesystem 2013.05-2" for all three dirs from step three.
None of the other steps have any effect....
I also tried:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=172943
My /dev/sda1 mounts to new_root, so I don't think I'm having his problem.
And:

I reinstalled systemd-sysvcompat, and I'm sure that's not my problem.
Interestingly enough, /usr/lib/systemd/systemd is an elf file on my target hard disk.
Is this an outdated issue or something? Or should /usr/lib/systemd/systemd be a text file?
Thanks in advance for your help guys!

WorMzy wrote:Oh, and /usr/lib/systemd/systemd is supposed to be an ELF binary. Not sure why you think it should be a text file.
I saw another thread saying that adding an entry there would help. I think it was "init=<something>".
WonderWoofy wrote:A separate /etc is not supported whatsoever. There needs to be initial access to a few things there. I'm sure it could be made to work with some initramfs hackery. But it is neither supported or wise to do so IMO.
I'll not do the separate partitions then. Thanks. I'll check back if it works/doesn't-works.

ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist

I'm running an Xserve G5 with one internal boot drive and one RAID using the other two internal drives. I used Apple's Disk Utility to set-up the RAID.
Back in early December, I moved my mail database and mail store to the RAID. Ever since, when I restart the server, the mailaccess.log generates the following error:
Jan 23 18:51:33 mail master[47]: ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist: /Volumes/RAID/mail.data/db
I'm speculating this is a timing error that gets created when Postfix initially can't find the RAID. Then, it must try again and find it because the error message does not repeat and mail starts running.
Is this something to worry about?

Hi Joel,
You're right, it's a timing issues. The mail system is ready for work before the file system is mounted. It's benign.

Cannot mount FAT32 partition

After updating my arch install a few days ago I cannot mount my FAT32 partitions. The partitions worked fine before, but now when I go to mount them nothing happens at all, not even an error. They use to automount. When I go to my computer I can see all partitions but when I click on them nothing happens. I don't see the partitions in the fstab either. The partitions work fine in windows so it is not the data, any suggestions?
Thanks in advanced.

B-tree error, cannot mount Lion partition, but can mount bootcamp partition. Unable to reformat because it won't mount. How do I reformat?

Hi everyone:
So earlier today I was taking a screen shot with (command+shift+4) and right when I took it, the spinning wheelcame up on the screen. It was there for a long time, so I decided to turn off my macbook by holding down thepower button. When I turned it on, it stayed at the grey apple logo with the loading circle underneath.
I turned it off again, and this time I started it into the Recovery HD. I ran a disk verify and it said my disk was corrupt and needed to be repaired. I tried to repair it and it said it could not be repaired. Next, I tried to erase the hard drive and it still didn't work because it cannot mount the hard drive.
The thing that baffles me is that I have 2 partitions on my hard drive, one for mac, the other for windows bootcamp and the windows hard drive is able to be mounted. I tried to completely delete the entire hard drive, but it won't let me. What are the next steps I should take into solving this problem? Any/All help is appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like the drive may be faulty or have suffered a problem. Bummer mate, but it happens.
Disk Utility won't let you do a complete erase? Probably not what you want to do anyway as you'd lose your bootcamp partition.
I would recommend you replace the drive and re-install OS X. Once they get faulty like this you're into a greatly increased risk window. You'll need to have a bootable DVD / USB stick of Lion or a RecoveryHD USB created by the Lion Recovery Assistant.
If the MBP is under warranty or you have Applecare you could get the drive replaced under warranty.
To retrieve your files and Apps etc you can restore from a backup, or if you don't have one then you could get a sata enclosure for the old drive and attach it as an external drive then attempt to copy the content from it once you've re-installed. Time Machine backups will make this much easier for you though.
For bootcamp, you're going to need a 3rd party program such as Winclone (www.twocanoes.com) to allow you to take an image of the bootcamp partition and restore it to the new bootcamp partition on the new drive.
I can heartily recommend the Seagate Momentus XT 750GB hybrid drive (ST750LX003) if you're going for a replacement. You won't believe the difference in performance it provides.
Good luck!

"mount point /proc/bus/usb does not exist" -deux

Hi everyone!
I've installed arch 6.0 on a laptop running on the 2.4 SCSI kernel.
Indeed, /proc/bus/usb does not exist. I'm not sure why...
I'm not sure how to get the full directory either.
I've viewed this thread and this thread and followed the advice to change the usb line in my fstab to usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the problem didn't go away and my /proc/bus/usb did not magically appear afterwards.

ok, I did the update. The usb directory is still not there.
Since I don't have permission to make the directory myself (even as root), I guess I'll call it quits here.
I'm using the arch 7.0 cd now. The problem has gone away.

Cannot mount Windows partition with boot loader on Mac OS 10.8

I took out my hard drive of my Windows 7 PC, which has 3 partitions on it: C drive which contains the OS and the boot loader that the computer boots into, D drive which contains my data, and a third called "System Reserved" a few megabyte in size that I have no idea what so ever what it does besides that I cannot modify or delete it, which probably means that it is important. Now I put the hard drive inside an USB 3.0 enclosure and I am trying to mount this hard drive onto my OS X Lion Macbook air. Something strange is happening, in that the computer takes about 30 seconds or more to detect the drives presence, and then it just freezes after that. On the initial try, the system actually successfully launched DiskUtility, and I can see the drive mounted in the list of detected drives and 3 partitions "SD1, SD2, SD3" under that drive, but after repeating the procedure a few more times, nothing seems to be happening after the system freeze.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? I am trying to access the data partition for my stuff.
I have Tuxera NTFS installed, and I should probably also mention that my Macbook Air is mid 2011 with only USB 2.0 ports.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I figured out the freezing part; apparently, I had to connect to the USB port on the left side next to the power supply or the disk does not have enough power and causes the system to crash. So, now Disk Utility can see the hard drive with no problem.
But now, the partitions are detected as XFAT format and no volumes are mounted to the desktop. Disk Utility displays the disk description as:
Disk Description : INTEL SS DSA2M160G2GC Media Total Capacity : 160.04 GB (160,041,885,696 Bytes)
Connection Bus : USB Write Status : Read/Write
Connection Type : External S.M.A.R.T. Status : Not Supported
USB Serial Number : CVPO049000W0160AGN Partition Map Scheme : Master Boot Record
Why is the status "not supported"? How should I go about mounting the data volume so I can access the files on my Mac?

Cannot mount NTFS partition!!!!!!!!

People I'm new to this ARCH world. I want to mount my XP partition(NTFS). I tried
#ntfsmount /dev/sda1 /mnt
But some errors are thrown on de console
fuse: unknown option "USER = root"
fuse_new failed
umounting /dev/sda1 ()
Now how can i resolve this problem to mount my ntfs partition in rw mode.

What is not working? Is it not r/w?
EDIT: Look into the possible use of ........mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdxx..... in /etc/rc.local.......
Not sure of the exact command but the idea is to make it r/w on every boot-up via rc.local.
Hopefully, other users can correct any discrepancy I have introduced.
