Determining a Device That Does Not Exist

Hello,
We have a Citrix Xendesktop 7.1 PVS environment. The VHD disks are hosted on a volume on a Windows Server named S00CITRIXVHD01 that has 2 disks C drive(Disk0) and D drive(Disk1). In the event log of the server hosting the VHD disks I see this almost
every day:
The device, \Device\Harddisk3\DR145, is not ready for access yet.
Harddisk2 is also in some log entries. The only problem is the server does not have a harddisk2 or hardisk3 in the Disk Management GUI. However If I open the registry to HKLM\Hardware\DeviceMAP\SCSIPORT2\SCSIBUS0 there are reg keys for:
Target Id 0
Target Id 1
Target Id 2
Target Id 3
Target Id's 0 and 1 have info in them as I would expect but 2 and 3 are empty. I see other event log entries
Event ID 50:
{Delayed Write Failed} Windows was unable to save all the data for the file . The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.

So now I have these mystery disks that aren't ready, then have an error and then surprise disconnect and I can't figure out what they are or why they are logging errors. I would appreciate any insight anyone can offer on how
to track down what these drives are.

Hi Rich Ellis-MC,
If you are using Serve 2012r2 please try to install the following update then monitor the issue again.
Extraneous log entries are created when you remove virtual disk devices in Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2958027
Most of the similar issue occur when there have backup soft ware running or there have hardware issue, please try to stop the backup software then monitor this issue again,
in your environment try to ask citrix may get more tips.

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

SOLVED: Mounting IDE ZIP Drives, "Special Device hdb4 Does Not Exist"

I thought I would post a follow-up, since I have finally resolved this long standing issue, which has plagued me since my first days with Linux many years ago.
As outlined in my original post below, every time I would attempt to access a Zip disk for the first time since boot, Linux (pretty much all distros I have ever tried, with the exception of SuSE 9.3) would fail to mount the disk and report back that "Special device hdb4 does not exist". Of course the "hdb4" part varies from distro to distro and machine to machine, depending on how your Zip disk is connected and how the distro names its disks, but the basic error has been constant. I have always worked around it by redoing the mount command specifying just the device, not the partition, and while that would always fail, it would force the creation of the device /dev/hdb4, and I could carry on. Annoying but effective.
FINALLY, a long term answer. I got my inspiration from a really snarky post I read in another online forum where someone had posted this very same question (this is a very common problem with no common answer it seems!). The respondant, who completely failed to provide a helpful answer, basically said "listen, the OS is telling you what is wrong - the device hdb4 doesn't exist - so fix it, and all will be just fine". Of course, the respondant didn't even bother to offer a suggestion about HOW to fix it.
However, therein lies the inspiration for the solution. Indeed they are right, /dev/hdb4 *doesn't* exist, so how to fix that? They had a point. I started researching the mysteries of mknod, a program that can create /dev files, and the even deeper mysteries of Linux device numbers, both major and minor.
In the end, I found a wonderfully informative document that described the current standard for the device numbering scheme used by mknod, and Linux in general. The key things of interest are this:
1/ The major number for IDE based drives is 3.
2/ IDE allows for 64 partitions per device, so the minor numbers are 0-63 for device "a", 64-127 for device "b" and so on. You derive the minor number of interest for your particular device by taking the starting value of the minor number range of interest for your device and adding the partition number to it. So, for example, hdb4 would have a minor number of 64 (the start of the minor number range for device "b") plus 4 (the partition number in "hdb4"), yielding a result of 68.
3/ The major number for SCSI based drives, or those that your OS treats as SCSI, is 8.
4/ SCSI allows for 16 partitions per device, so the minor numbers are 0-15 for device "a", 16-31 for device "b" and so on. You derive the minor number of interest for your particular device by taking the starting value of the minor number range of interest for your device and adding the partition number to it. So, for example, sdb4 would have a minor number of 16 (the start of the minor number range for device "b") plus 4 (the partition number in "hdb4"), yielding a result of 20.
In my case, Arch seems to be treating all of my disk based devices as SCSI, perhaps because I do have a real SCSI interfaced Jaz drive in my machine. So, the Zip disk of interest in my machine is sdc4 (my real SCSI jaz is sda, my Arch root is sdb, and the IDE Zip is sdc). Applying the above, for /dev/sdc4:
- The major number is 8.
- The minor number is 32 (start of range for device "c") plus 4 (the partition number) = 36.
Armed with this knowledge, I su'd to root and entered:
# mknod /dev/sdc4 b 8 36
and like magic, there is was, /dev/sdc4. I popped a disk into the drive and my first attempt to access it was greeted with success, not the usual "device does not exist" error! By the way, the "b" in the above command is just part of the mknod syntax, and indicates that I am creating a block device (vs. a character device, or some other type of device - disk drives all seem to be "block" devices for apparent reasons).
SO, determine your major number by device type (it will usually be 3 or 8), compute your minor number by device letter and partition number, and add a mknod command to your system startup (so you don't have to do it manually every time) and you are done! No more annoying "device does not exist" errors.
Now for the kicker. It turns out that this information has been available under my nose all along. I just didn't recognize the code. If you do the following:
# ls -ald /dev/sd*
Linux obligingly provides you with the major number and the start of the minor number range for your device. Since Linux has always detected the Zip *device* (just not the partition) this is really all you need to know. When I issue the above command, I get an output like:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 date time /dev/sdc
Guess what, there they are! "8" is the major number of interest, "32" is the start of the minor number range of interest. If I had just recognized that, and known that all I had to do was add the partition number to the minor number to get the magic number to feed into mknod, things would have been easier.
Sorry for the long post, but like so many things in Linux, the OS doesn't make this easy on the uninitiated. I sincerely hope that this post may help lots of other people to resolve this vexing and longstanding problem.

Solved!
See the lengthy response in this post:

I posted the solution separately, with the most informative title I could come up with, so that others Googling this topic on the web may hopefully easily find it.

IMovie searching for files for project that does not exist...

Whenever I fire up iMovie 09 on Lion, it spins, and then tells me it can't find a video file for a project that does not exist. That is, it says 'File xxx.mov from project 'Movie 1 cannot be found - without this file the movie cannot be played.' The project is one I deleted a long time ago, and does not appear in the project list. How can I force iMovie to forget about this?
Thanks!
PS the specific error is 'Searching for movie data in file "New Project 1 - Large.m4v". The only button is "Stop". so I press that, then a new dialogue box saying 'The movie file 'New Project Large.m4v" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly." It has cancel and search buttons. Obviously, searching doesn't help - it was deleted a long time ago. Cancelling makes it go away until iMovie is launched again.

Whitecity,
This is awesome.
So moving forward from here, you can narrow down which event is causing the behavior but systematically trial and error. Once you determined the exact event folder, there are subfolders underneath:
/iMovie Movie Cache/
/iMovie Stabilization/
/iMovie Thumbnails/
Try removing these to see if iMovie rebuilds them.

Update was terminated - Class PO - Number 366 - Device ARCH does not exist

Dear Gurus,
We are using Automatic PO generation through ME59, we also applied one SAP note to pick the custom document type through ME59 (normally the system pick NB as standard document)
In MN05 - if i set as default output type 1 - print ( then the document is generating with the correct document with correct number range)
But if i set in MN05 - default output as 2 - fax ( then i am getting this Update was terminated - Class PO - Number 366 - Device ARCH does not exist).
Please advice
Regards
RS

Dear Friend,
Output determination for fax is not done properly. check the device connnectivity.
SPRo>>Maintain Message type of PO
For the particular document type - i have removed the default PO Print out settings - now its working fine. Is this the right way?
Please advice

How can I change my Apple ID that is set up with an old email that does not exist anymore

I set up an Apple ID years ago with a hotmail email account. I also deleted that hotmail email account years ago. I now have a gmail email. I cannot back up anything to icloud because of my apple id that is connected to the hotmail email account that does not exist anymore. To change my ID, apple sends a verification email to my old hotmail account which i cannot access, and it also says my gmail account is my rescue account, so I wouldn't be able to change it to my gmail account anyway. Any ideas? I'd like my ID to be associated with my one and only current gmail email account. I have a lot of songs that I've spent a lot of money on over the years that I don't want to lose.

The list of workflow actions on the server references an assembly that does not exist

Hi,
This issue has been discussed many times in this forum , the reason why I am posting is I tried the resolution steps but I dont see any luck.
I am getting the below message from the SharePoint designer 2007 when I am trying to modify a workflow
"This list of workflow actions on the server references an assembly that does not exist. Some actions will not be available. The assembly strong name is Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowActions, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c.
Contact your server administrator for more information."
#1 : One of the post says "Normally you would see that error because someone has extended the Workflow actions available in SPD with a custom action developed in Visual Studio. These custom actions are loaded when your workstation reads the WSS.ACTIONS
file on the server. The file is located in the 12 hive under Template\1033\workflow. Your WSS.Actions file contains a reference to a custom action .dll which is not available on the server."
I opened the WSS.Actions file in notepad, I dont see any line with *.dll in it. Am I missing something?
#2: Another post says "The solution I discovered was that the server running my SharePoint Services was not up to .NET 3.0. As soon as I updated to .NET 3.0 everything worked.I had made sure the machine running SharePoint Designer was updated, but
had missed the SHarePoint Services server."
The server is already updated to .Net 3.0.
#3: I went to the %System Drive%\Documents and Settings\Local Settings\ApplicationData\Microsoft\SharePointDesigner.
Deleted the ProxyAssemblyCache folder but no luck.
Just checking if any one was able to resolve this issue by following any of the solution other than the above mentioned ones.
Thanks,
Cutloo

 I have the similar issue with my custom work flow. I have searched the whole day for the solution but no success, then at last a simple track works for me. Please try this if any one faces such issue.
Basically the assembly that we have define in the ACTIONS file dose not exists on the server, because of two reasons, either we have given the wrong assembly name (in our case the namespace name inside our solution) or the PublicKeyToken may differ from the
original assembly, that are deployed in GAC.
 So cross check both of these, in my case the assembly name was fine,
<Action
 Name="Move Item to Another List and Send Email"
 ClassName="MyAssemblyName.Classname"
 Assembly="MyAssemblyName,Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4053d1fde8a1c781"
 AppliesTo="all"
 Category="Email actions">
But the problem was in the 'PublicKeyToken', so i double click on the feature inside my solution,then in the bottom i have clicked on the manifest tab to check the entries.
<Feature xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/" Title="MyAssemblyName Feature1" Id="f7f1bda0-5f65-40f1-a705-f6f15a41da3a" ReceiverAssembly="MyAssemblyName, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0c32dbb769ed64b5"
ReceiverClass="MyAssemblyName.Features.Feature1.Feature1EventReceiver" Scope="WebApplication"></Feature>
Here i got the actual PublicKeyToken for my assembly (0c32dbb769ed64b5), i have replaced this number inside ACTIONS file, deploy the soultion, reset IIS.
It works for me,

How to redirect a page that does not exist

Hello everyone. Thanks for the feedback so far.
I am editing an old site and there are going to be some pages that do not exist anymore.
Is there a way to have an automatic redirect so that if any user types in ANY page that does not exist sitewide, they can be directed to another main redirection page which displays a message and then to the main page again?
The current site is littered with empty pages with a redirect link on each at the moment which does not look good and it's awful to maintain as these non-meaningful filenames the original developer has used are no help at all.
Thank you in advance for all feedback
Terry

What is the web address of the old site?
If it's on a Linux server then you can use .htaccess rewrites to automate much of the redirection heavy lifting

Creating a page that does not exist

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to create a page that does not exist based on the user input?
By does not exist I mean that it is not stored in your computer and JSP will generate the page based on the user input. For example, in forums the user can create a new topic and based on the options selected a page will be created and stored that was not present before. The same thing happens when a message has a large number of replies, in which a new page will be created and attached to the previous page. I hope that I am not misunderstanding the concept of creating pages in forums.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Basil Mahdi

Hi,
what happens in the forums is that you type in a message and that message is stored in a database. Along with your message the number of thread, forum number and message number is stored. Next time somebody wants to read your message, this message is taken from the db and shown to you by the jsp. The JSP ofcourse does more thant taht it shows also other messages and static HTML.

System keeps looking for a 'server' that does not exist. Is says the old name of my Airport Extreme. Clicking it away (4x) finally gets through.

Other weirdness to report: my neighbor upstairs appears to have a Linksys router network on channel 6. My AEBS is on channel 1 so there shouldn't be interference... but according to iStumbler sometimes the signal leaps to 64000 (keep in mind my own Airport never tops 60)! Is that potentially the problem?
Might it be possible that your neighbor just acquired a 802.11n (pre-N) wireless router recently?
802.11n effectively increases capacity by doubling the number of Wi-Fi radios and increasing the number of antennas used to push signals out of those radios. 802.11n splits a data frame into multiple pieces. It then transmits these pieces in parallel using multiple radios that are attached to multiple antennas. These antennas blast out signals from virtually the same vantage point – scattering the signals everywhere.
You may find the following ZDNet article interesting: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=247
Even if he did not, and you are on good terms, you might want to ask if he can temporarily turn off his wireless, or, at least, reduce the signal strength to see if that will help in your situation.

Using ExtendedLogFormat, server log refers to Exception that does not exist

I created a custom logging class, using ExtendedLogFormat, according to the doc here:
[http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs100/config_wls/web_server.html#elf]
However, when I do this, and modify the startup classpath to point to my jar containing the class, and modify the log format to include this class, I see in the logs:
bq. * Attempting to initialize ExtendedLogFormat application specific header: x-com.on24.weblogic.logging.POSTDataLogField. However, failed due to exception.*
(POSTDataLogField is the name of my log field class).
This is very frustrating, because nowhere in ANY log (and I've set the log level as verbose as possible in all places) is any Exception shown.
Does anyone know how I can find out what this mystery exception is, in a case like this? I've looked at all the logging options, and didn't find anything I could change to be any more verbose than I already am.

Is there a fix for this? It makes this library useless for me.

Thanks for your reply.
Server, encoder and player are all on the same computer.
Admin console confirms the existence of "livestream" of type "Live" and a "NetStream" called "ABAF". No idea what the latter is.
Also, thought I'd mention that I have to start the servers from the Control Panel -> administrative tools -> services. If I try and start the server from the start menu, they dont start.
Thank you for your time.
