Craziness with mounting drives

Came across my first real beef with Lion recently... drives on my laptop won't mount over the network on my iMac. I get these, a lot, and intermittendly:
But the drives on MBP eventually do mount, and I get craziness like this:
Note on the left, finder (totalfinder) shows CooCooforCocoaPuffs as a locked dir, but on the right I have complete access.
I am signing into MBP as the admin user of that laptop. Other network-dependant apps don't fair well either, such as Airserver.app having intermittent connection problems, as does ChronoSync.  Copying files over 2GB from the laptop to the iMac usually ends in a dropped network connection, and don't complete.
However, ARD works perfectly from the iMac to the MBP - go figure!
Well, any advice?
thx!

Ps. I am using a generic router that appears to be working fine, and I have tried DHCP auto and manual IP address settings with the same result.

Just put your permanent drive partitions into /etc/fstab (I believe the arch installer doe this for you).  Removable drives, or USB stick drives, etc. are handled via HAL as Arisna said.  Gnome and KDE should do this for you assuming you have HAL running.

    So i have read the wiki but I dont understand fstab, Am I going to have to manually add every drive I plug in to fstab in order to mount it? That cant be right?

  • USB issues with External Drive

    I am running a 1 TB Fantom drive (MDC1000) (2 Partitions) on new OS 10.5.6 MacPro via one of the back USB ports. Been using the drive for over a year with no problems.
    Now intermittent issue with mounting drive. After successfully mounting and letting the drive cycle down, the USB2 connection disconnects when the drive starts back up again. I receive the Device Removal Message, then the drive tries to remount. Then I receive the message again. What is strange is that the drive seems to work fine when data is being accessed consistently.
    I clicked off the "put the hard disc to sleep" checkbox in the Energy Saver preference which seemed to stabilize the intermittent problem, but now there is an issue with the machine not coming out of sleep, and I get the startup clock icon when I try to restart. The machine does not shut down with the USB connected.
    I'm still trying to determine if it's the drive or the machine. I ran the disc utility and repaired the disc as the intermittent disconnections seem to corrupt the trees and directories. I am able to fix them. Is there any utility for testing the USB ports? There should BE.
    Could this be due to a recent update? Or lack of firmware update from the drive manufacturer? Seemed to come out of nowhere.
    Thanks for any info.

    Just to follow up with this for anyone has a similar problem.
    Tried new cables and seemed better for a short time, but then still would not mount successfully.
    I called Micronet after I didn't hear back via their email form. The tech there seemed to suspect it was the power connection on the network card in the drive which would make some sense. He confirmed there were no firmware upgrades for the Fantom drive.
    Also tried to mount the drive unsuccessfully via Firewire and it did not work.
    So my conclusion is that it's not the drive mechanism but the network card in the drive. I have a sinking suspicion that there is a power issue in my office space, which may have affected the drive. I've had other machines and devices which have had power issues in the past.
    Does anyone know any simple and easy way to test electrical integrity in a work/office environment?
    I bought another 2tb drive, transferred the data and reformatted the old drive to see if that does anything.

    My standoffs are built into my case. My question is really a question about grounding my motherboard. I guess I should have clarified.
    My question is, my moterboard is only touching metal at these standoffs, is that how the motherboard is grounded? Or, is this going to fry my board?
    From other posts I have looked at, this seems fine and how the motherboard is suppose to be grounded. But, I am scared I am going to fry my new computer and don't want to make that mistake. So, I was just wondering if it is proper for the motherboard to be touching at the standoffs, of is that wrong?
    Thanks

  • Having issues with Mounting older drive/time machine

    Hey folks, I'm having issues with mounting a ex hard drive. It works, but there is a passcode for it, due to being my time machine drive,  I dont remember the password, is there anything I can do to reset it? if not how do I wipe it clean? I went into disk disk Utilities and everythink looks fine.. Check out the pics Iput up

    I dont remember the password, is there anything I can do to reset it?
    No.
    if not how do I wipe it clean?
    If you can connect the drive to a computer running Windows or a version of OS X older than 10.7, erase the drive that way. Otherwise see the link below.

  • [Guide] Install and run Windows 7/8 from an external drive without using bootcamp (works for late 2012 iMacs with 3TB drive)

    This is a copy of a post from my blog, you can also Read it on my blog...
    Introduction
    After I received my new iMac with a 3 TB Fusion Drive, I was disappointed when I realized that Bootcamp was not running on this model and prevented me from installing Windows on it. I wanted to take advantage of the powerful iMac hardware to play games but I couldn't.
    There are a few ways of working around this limitation, but I found most of them quite complex and most of the time they required formatting the internal hard drive or repartitioning it and go for a brand new installation of Mac OS X. I was not comfortable with that.
    But there is another way, and that is to install Windows on an external hard drive, using either USB or Thunderbolt. Personally I used a Lacie Rugged 1 TB drive that has both USB3 and Thunderbolt connectors. Both work very well.
    This guide may interest you if:
    You have an internal hard drive of more than 2TB and you can't run bootcamp at all (like late 2012 iMacs with a 3TB drive)
    You have limited space or you don't want to dedicate disk space on your internal hard disk drive to a Windows installation
    What this guide will make you do:
    It will make you erase all your data from your external USB3/Thunderbolt hard drive
    It will make you install Windows on your external USB3/Thunderbolt hard drive
    It will make you install bootcamp drivers
    What this will not make you do:
    It will not make you modify anything on your internal Mac hard drive
    It will not make you use or install the bootcamp assistant
    It will not activate the Preference Pane for the default boot drive. You have to boot by pressing the ALT key to manually select your boot drive each tome you want to boot Windows.
    What you'll need
    An external hard drive with a USB3 and/or Thunderbolt connector. This drive will be formatted so ensure you saved your files before going further. You can use either an SSD drive or a classic hard drive.
    A Windows 7 or 8 install DVD or ISO (check whether to install 32 or 64 bits versions based on your Bootcamp drivers) and the corresponding Windows serial number.
    One of the following:
    Mac OS X with a Windows 7 or 8 Virtual Machine (use VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop for example. Note: VMWare Fusion seems to have some issues with Thunderbolt and USB3. Plug your drive to a USB2 enclosure or hub to work around this -it worked for me-, or use another VM software) → Read the important note below
    A PC running Windows 7 or 8 → Read the important note below
    Windows AIK (free) running on your Virtual Machine or on your PC, or just the imagex.exe file (the rest of the Windows AIK package is not needed)
    Download imagex.exe
    Download Windows AIK (this download and installation is not required if you have already downloaded imagex.exe)
    Bootcamp drivers for your Mac. You can get these either by running bootcamp from your Mac (Applications > Utilities > Bootcamp) or, if like me you have a 3TB drive and can't run bootcamp at all, use the direct download links here.
    A USB stick to store your bootcamp drivers
    IMPORTANT: If your Mac has a 64 bits processor, your Windows Virtual Machine on OSX, your Windows installation on your PC and your Windows DVD/ISO must also be in 64 bits!
    Step by Step guide
    Step 1: Get the install.wim file
    If you have a Windows ISO file:
    Mount the ISO
    If you're on OS X: double click on the ISO file
    If you're on on Windows 7: Use a software like Virtual Clone Drive (free)
    If you're on Windows 8: double click on the ISO file
    Open the mounted drive, then go to the "sources" folder and locate the "install.wim" file. Save this file to C:\wim\ on your Windows installation or virtual machine.
    If you have a Windows DVD: open the "sources" folder on the DVD and locate the "install.wim" file. Save this file to C:\wim\ on your Windows installation or virtual machine.
    IMPORTANT: If instead of a "install.wim" file, you have "install.esd", you can not continue this step by step guide. And an ESD file can not be converted into a WIM file. So you must get a version of the Windows installation DVD/ISO that has an install.wim file.
    Step 2: Clean, partition and format your external hard drive
    On your Windows installation or virtual machine, plug in your external hard drive (can be plugged using USB2, USB3 or Thunderbolt at this stage)
    Open the command prompt in administrator mode (cmd.exe). To run it in administrator mode, right click on cmd.exe > Run as admin.
    Type the following and hit enter to open the disk partitioner utility:
    diskpartType the following and hit enter to list your drives:
    list disk
    This will display a list of disks mounted on your computer or virtual machine. Make sure your drive is listed here before you continue.Identify the disk ID of your external hard drive. Replace # by your real external disk ID in the command below:
    select disk #Clean all partitions by typing the following (warning: this will erase all data from your external drive!):
    clean
    Create the boot parition by typing the following followed by the enter key:
    create partition primary size=350
    This will create a 350MB partition on your external driveFormat the partition in FAT32 by typing the following:
    format fs=fat32 quick
    Set this partition to active by typing:
    active
    Assign a letter to mount this partition. We will use letter B in our example. If B is already used on your PC, replace B by any other available letter:
    assign letter=b
    Windows will detect a new drive and probably display a pop-up. Ignore that.Create the Windows installation partition using all the remaining space available on the external drive by typing the following:
    create partition primary
    Format the new partition in NTFS:
    format fs=ntfs quick
    Assign a letter to mount this partition. We will use letter O in our example. If O is already used on your PC, replace O by any other available letter:
    assign letter=o
    Windows will detect a new drive and probably display a pop-up. Ignore that.Exit the disk partitioner utility by typing:
    exit
    Step 3: Deploy the Windows installation image
    Still using the command prompt in admin mode (you didn't close it, did you? ), locate the imagex.exe file mentioned in the "What you'll need" section and access its folder. In our example, we have put this file in C:\imagex\imagex.exe
    Type the following and hit enter (remember to replace o: with the letter you have chosen in the previous step):
    imagex.exe /apply C:\wim\install.wim 1 o:
    This will take some time. The Windows installation image is being deployed to your external driveOnce done, type the following to create the boot section (remember to replace o: and b: with the letters you've chosen in the previous step):
    o:\windows\system32\bcdboot o:\windows /f ALL /s b:
    If you get an error message saying that you can't run this program on your PC, then most probably you are running on a 32 bits installation of windows and you're trying to deploy a 64 bits install. This means you did not read the important notes in the beginning of this guide
    If you get an error message on the options that can be used with the BCDBOOT command, then it's because you're installing Windows 7, and the /f option is not supported. If that is the case, remove /f ALL from the command and retry.
    Step 4: Boot from your external drive and install Windows
    Plug in your external drive:
    If you've done all the previous steps from a Windows PC, unplug your external drive from your PC and plug it to your Mac, either on a USB3 or a Thunderbolt port.
    If you've done all the previous steps from your Mac using a Virtual Machine, ensure the external drive is plugged in to a USB3 or Thunderbolt port. Using USB2 should also work but you'll get very poor performance so I don't recommend doing that.
    Reboot your Mac and once the bootup sound is over, immediately press the ALT (option) key and release it only when the boot drives selection screen appears. If you did not get the boot drives selection screen, reboot and try again. The timing to press the ALT (option) key is quite short. It must not be too early or too late.
    On the boot selection screen, choose "Windows" using the arrow keys on your keyboard, then press enter.
    The Windows installation starts. Follow the on-screen instructions as normal. The installation program will restart your computer one or 2 times. Don't forget to press ALT (option) right after the bootup sound, and boot on Windows again each time to continue the installation.
    Step 5: Install bootcamp drivers
    Once the Windows installation is complete, plug in the USB stick where you stored the bootcamp drivers (see "what you'll need" section), open it and right click on "setup.exe" and select "Run as admin". Follow the on-screen instructions.If you have an error saying that you can't run this program on this PC, obviously you have installed a 32 bits version of Windows and the bootcamp drivers for your Mac are made for a 64 bits version. You have to restart the whole guide and make sure to get a 64 bits version of Windows this time!
    Once the bootcamp drivers are all installed, reboot and press ALT (option) after the bootup sound to boot on Windows again. And Voilà, you have Windows installed on your USB3/Thunderbolt drive running on your Mac.
    Now each time you want to boot on Windows, press and hold the ALT (option) key after the startup sound and select "Windows", then press Enter.

    Hi i'm trying to follow your guide, I installed windows 8 on bootcamp to do it planning to remove it after the operation is done, but i get stuck at part 3: every command i give to imagex i get a pop-up ftom windws asking how do I want to open this kind of file install.wim and imagex does nothing, what do i have to do to stop those pop-ups?

  • Which to buy?  Time capsule or Airport Extreme with USB drive(s)?

    I'm getting either a TC or an Airport Extreme with an external drive.
    Archive:
    I noticed that TC can archive to an external drive. It seems this can be handy for creating off-site backups. Can I do this with a drive on Airport Extreme (with a powered hub and another drive)? Or do I need to move the drive to a Mac and copy there? Or should I use a network backup instead in either case? I guess this is my main question: Can archive work with Airport Extreme?
    Mounting:
    Is mounting the Airport Extreme for WiFi range any easier than the TC?
    Drive failure:
    Is the TC drive likely to fail over the next couple years? And the other way, if the TC breaks, is the drive something I can use elsewhere? I'm a little concerned about having all my eggs in one basket.
    Other:
    Anything I should be aware of in making this decision?

    +Are there any constraints in the orientation of TC that the AirPort Extreme does not have?+
    No, not really as long as you give either device plenty of airspace as they both tend to run warm to very warm. I thought mounting the AirPort Extreme might improve the signal strength a bit, but it made no measurable difference for me.
    +Is the TC significantly heavier?+
    The Extreme is under 2 pounds, the TC comes in a bit over 3 pounds.
    +Is mounting on a pegboard bad for the HD?+
    I think you may be asking if you can mount it vertically. That's not a problem and the Apple store even sells wall mounts for either device.
    +Yikes. I got bad info. I read the "unsupported" constraint was dropped a couple versions ago. I thought all the comments on this were referring to the older versions of AirPort Extreme.+
    Here's the Apple document. Nothing changed with Snow Leopard and I saw a specific Snow Leopard document about this...just can't find it at the moment. I'm sure other forum regulars will confirm as well if they see this post.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038
    +Is there a list of file servers that Time Machine is compatible with?+
    Sorry, I don't have first hand knowledge on that and my policy is to only offer advice on things that I've done myself. That question might be worth a separate post since few people will see this question buried where it is.

  • Solaris 10 upgrade fails with "mount failed"

    I'm trying to upgrade an aged Ultra 80 to Solaris 10u9 (from Solaris 10u2 or so), so that it can be used for our product testing purposes. After several unsuccessful attempts, I finally freed up enough space on the / filesystem (5.2GB free) by moving /opt to a newly installed second drive.
    However, the upgrade now fails with
    "Mount failed for either root, swap, or other file system.
    Pfinstall failed. Exit stat= java.lang.UNIXProcess@e2892b 2"
    At the end of the log file it says
    "Checking c0t0d0s0 for an upgradeable Solaris image.
    ERROR: Mount failed for either root, swap, or other file system."
    I'm stumped. It doesn't say which file system it's having problems with.
    Any ideas as to how to troubleshoot this problem, or what the cause might be? At 30 minutes per upgrade attempt, I'd like to know what the cause is rather than pursuing trial and error.
    Thanks.

    Look at your "vfstab" and see if there are any mounts that need a specific driver like a SAN-provided LUN. Comment them out during the upgrade for the upgrade tries to mount everything in your /etc/vfstab and if it doesn't have the driver/software to do it, it will fail...

  • Windows Server 2012R2 Failover Cluster error with mounted volumes

    Hi all,
    I've a problem with mounted volume on a WSFC build on top of Windows Server 2012R2, the situation is:
    M: is the volume hosting mounting points
    disk-1, disk-2, disk-3 are volume mounted on M:\SomeFolder
    Theese volumes are used by a SQL Server Failover Cluster Instance, but my problem is related to WSFC. I've set dependencies so disk-1, disk-2, disk-3 depend upon H:
    If I try a failover of the role "SQL Server" I observe that when the disk come online in the other node they fail with this error:
    Cluster resource 'disk-1' of type 'Physical Disk' in clustered role 'SQL Server (ISQL2014A)' failed. The error code was '0xaa' ('The requested resource is in use.').
    Based on the failure policies for the resource and role, the cluster service may try to bring the resource online on this node or move the group to another node of the cluster and then restart it.  Check the resource and group state using Failover Cluster
    Manager or the Get-ClusterResource Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
    If I manually take offline H: and than bring it online and then manually take online all disk (1 to 3) they come online with no error.
    I'm going crazy!

    I've found the root of the problem: the servers are virtual machine on a VMware ESX 5.5 infrastructure, VMware claims that on 5.5 multipath is supported for raw device mapping disks but disabling multipath (I've set to fixed path) the Windows Server Failover
    Cluster stops to get problems.
    Now we have opened a support call with VMware.

  • Using mounted drives for storage

    iMovie 08 only allows for saving on internal drives, or connected FireWire drives. Well, I have 2 TB of storage on an old Mac connected over Gigabit Ethernet, and I intend to use it. Here is the solution:
    1. Move your iMovie Events onto your choice of mounted drive
    2. Delete the iMovie Events folder, located in your Movies folder
    3. Use Coctail or the Terminal to create a symbolic link of the moved iMovie Events folder (on your external drive) and place that link back in your home Movies folder
    4. Start up iMovie again, and you will see that all is well
    Using regular Alias did not work for me. I got the thumbnails, though with a warning triangle, but not the source to play.

    no, I use FAT32 so I can use it on both Macs and PCs
    Note that the Mac doesn't require using the same disk format on both "disks" of a partitioned drive. You could use Disk Utility to partition the drive and format each partition whatever you choose.
    Partitioning/Reformatting will erase everything on the drive, so make backups.
    Not sure how your PC will respond to the presence of the Mac partition, however. (No experience.) You may want to do some testing.

  • DVDSP compatible with this drive?

    A number of successful reports:
    "Reader Comments: I just replaced the DVR drive in my G5 Tower. The one it had was a Sony U10A 4x drive and it would not write to any current DVD Media (Unless I went and found some slower 4x Media) so I replaced it with a Pioneer DVR-112D Black.
    It went right in with only a little issue, height problem from the mounting screws, but once I removed the front Bezel off the drive tray there was no issue at all...
    (reader FYI - remember to remove the tray edge bezel off any drive you put in a G5 tower or MDD Mac (and usually a Mac Pro tower also) - otherwise the tray can hang on the case on eject-Mike)
    Works fine, burns fine and works with all media and software I have tested in it so far. Thank You Lord. I would recommend that any owner of a G5 with a slower sony drive in it, replace it ASAP! Far easier than searching for the slower media to work in your older drive.

  • Issues with external drive on Mac Mini / Lion

    I'm using an external SATA drive in a Newer Technologies Voyager dock (which I like to call the "toaster") with a brand new Mac Mini i5 2.3G via FW800.
    The drive was formatted using Disk Utility on a G4 running Tiger (10.4.11)
    With the drive mounted, the Mini's performance seems to slow down, and it randomly dismounts the drive, with the usual warning, "you disconnected your drive without dismounting it first, bla bla...)
    I think I remember when Leopard was new, there was a firmware issue that had to be dealt with, and when moving drives from OS 9 to X and back to 9, I lost access to the data on the drive.
    I'm also aware of the partitioning scheme difference when formatting drives for use on the Intel machines.
    Could either of the above have anything to do with the problem I'm having here?

    I'm not an expert in this, but as far as I know, GUID only comes into play if you want to boot from it, but...... you never know, it could - here is an excerpt from Disk Utility:
    If you’ll be using the disk only with Mac computers, choose GUID Partition Table.
    Another thought is: how old is that drive? All hard drives fail sooner or later - have you tried to check it with Disk Utility or something like Disk Warrior?

    We need to increase the debug to see more output. Set the operations/backupoptions to -JJJJv and then re-run the backup and paste the transcript from that. Hopefully that will show more of the problem.

  • Mounting drive crashes OSx 10.5.6

    Ok guys, I have a problem... I have a 1.5tb drive from seagate (the firmware checks out ok, it's CC1H. the computer wouldn't boot with the drive installed even though it is not the boot drive. So I removed it, and my mac pro starts up just fine. But when I go to plug the drive in (it's now in an external enclosure while I troubleshoot) OSx crashes. I have tried it on a macbookPro with the same results.
    Do you know of any software that will allow me to check the drive w/o having it mount in finder? Or do you know of anything else I can try.

    The drive is a SATA2 drive inside of a USB enclosure that is getting power from a wall wart (it's plugged into the wall).
    There is nothing wrong with the enclosure as I have used it for other drives recently. Yes there is something wrong with the drive, just not sure what, I think the data is corrupted as it is not making any actual noise when it is spinning up or down. IE no tel-tale clicking of a physical problem.
    I currently can't try it on a pc as I don't have one that can be trashed if it corrupts the install. I do have a macBookPro I can install windows on and see if it works, but I would prefer not to.
