How to mount drive.

Late 2012 mini was fine then restarted by itself and now it can't verify disc,
repair uunable to repair. Unable to erase disc because it is not mounted.
How do I mount disc?

Try booting to Recovery and then repairing the HD.
Try resetting the SMC and NVRAM

If still problem yuu have a hardware problem. Bad HD or bad connection or other hardware problem.
Yu can try replacing the HD yourself or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How to mount drive or library on OSB 10.2.0.3.0

how to mount drive or library on OSB 10.2.0.3.0. My Tape library is DELL TL-2000 with windows 2003 (but the windows identify it as IBM TotalStorage 3575 library and IBM ULT3580-TD3 drive).
The Library and drive are detected by windows and no red or yellow mark on the device manager.
I try to read the user guide but still cannot make them work.
And how to add OSB menu on EM? I already add osb_enabled=true on DRIVE:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\<instance name>\sysman\config\emom.properties but the OSB menu does not appear.

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.

How to mount USB & CDROM drives from single user mode - Solaris boot disk?

Hi All,
I need to carry out ufsrestore on a single newly replaced system disk (no redundancy / mirroring) from either USB or CDROM drives from the following steps:
( i ) GRUB => e, e, cdrom –s, Enter, b (boot from Solaris 10 x86 media).
( ii ) Choose menu 1 for Install Solaris Interactive Mode to reach single user mode.Below are the commands that I have tried in single user mode without success:
mount –r –F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 /cdrom (after unmount Solaris CD)
mount: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 is not a DOS filesystem.
svcadm –v enable smserver
svcadm: Pattern ‘smserver’ doesn’t match any instances
svcadm enable autofs
svcadm: Pattern ‘autofs’ doesn’t match any instances
devfsadm
devfsadm: mkdir failed for /dev 0s1ed: Read-only file system
mkdir /mnt
mkdir: Failed to make directory “/mnt”; Read-only file systemPart of the problem is due to the current READ ONLY filesystems which does not allow the creation of mount point such as /mnt.
I have been able to create both / root (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0) and /export/home (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0) filesystems with newfs that are awaiting for restore using ufsrestore.
The only option I am left with is to attach a secondary disk to install Solaris 10 on either of them before bring the system to multi-user mode so that service such as volmgt, autofs, volfs are available to access USB & CDROM drives.
Any suggestion on how to resolve this issue?
Many thanks,
Jack

Hi JKGN,
Is the directory a located under the root filesystem. ie /a? Are there any other mount point for say USB drive as well? I am not in a position to try it out right now but will get back
to you soon on whether /a exist or not.
Btw, the last thing I managed to do on this system at the time was added a secondary 1TB internal disk with the intention to restore both / and /export/home data onto this disk while
making use of all the disk device management services such as the following services only available in a fully installed Solaris system (both single & multi-user modes) installed on the
primary disk:
# svcs smserver

As a result, I am left with no option but the need to rebuild this system with only a single primary disk while in single user mode. However, the single user mode that I am in is the
one from Solaris installation disk with restrictive (_cannot create folder for mount point or running disk management utilities_) capability such as those services just covered, compared to one from a completed Solaris installation system with full access to all filesystems and utilities / commands in general.
I would very much value your assistance on how to mount both CD & USB in this restrictive limited Read Only OS (assume that it is running from memory) in order to get complete access to
the blank primary disk so that full restore with ufsrestore could take place.
Thanks in advance,
Jack

How to remove a mounted drive at startup in a mobile account, using netinfo

How does one remove an mounted drive at startup in a mobile account, using netinfo?
One of the user automatically mounts a network drive on her new intel Macbook in her portable account. Trouble is that the network drive is only available on the intranet. So when she is on the road, it take the Macbook very long 3-4 minutes before it let's her log in.
Simply I thought to remove the drive on her macbook through the system preferences -> account -> login items. However the "login Item" GUI is very slow to respond and if it respond it does not let me remove the network drive. I tried this both on the intranet and off the network.
I tried to remove the mounted drive at start up through the workgroup manager, but it does not show up there.
So I thought that I try to use netinfo on the local machine. But I can't find where mounting info is stored in a mobile account. I thought it would be in the local @ localhost or should I connect to an other DB?

The login items are not stored in Netinfo, they are stored in loginwindow.plist in the users Library/Preferences. You can either remove the entries for the server or simply trash that file and let a default one get recreated.

How to mount USB Flash Drive

Hello again Arch-Linux users,
I always search google very hard and for months (off and on) I search for how to mount a USB Flash Drive. Nothing ever work so I give up than try again months latter. I don't want to give up anymore and that is why I join this forum.
Here are some of the code I found on the net. Some of these commands will only re-mount the entire Arch-Linux running system in /mnt/usbstick.
sudo mount -o rw,noauto,async,user,umask=1000 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick
... don't work it only re-mount the entire system
/dev/sda15 /mnt/usbstick vfat user,noauto,unhide 0 0
... don't work... I found nothing inside /mnt/usbstick
mount -t vfat -o rw,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1001,gid=100,umask=077,iocharset=utf8 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick
... don't work... here is the error i get:
mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt/usbstick busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is mounted on /
It strange that most USB mount commands use the operating system partition itself- example: /dev/sda1 as the device for USB device, while others use /dev/cdrom for cd - /dev/dvd for dvd and /dev/fd0 for floppy.
Could someone post the code that will easily mount a usb device under Arch_Linux.
I'm using Arch-Linux core-64 (08-2009)
Thanks in advance

Thanks fsckd,
I needed a rapid reply because I been wasting too much time not getting anything done because I needed to get pass this flash-drive thing. I can now have a secure back-up in my pocket on USB to go. Arch-Linux does it better for what I seen while just dd'ing on disk.

Thanks demian,
sdb is the location for my single hard-drive machine. I saw it before in my list above but I changed it to sda1 because I knew no better. I had no clue it represent a 2nd hard-drive for LINUX if one is not already present.
This did it for me
Thanks again

How to mount external drives

Being new to iMac and connecting four external drives I need to know how to mount and dismount them

noondaywitch
Thanks for your help and I've followed your reply and yes I can see how to mount and eject drives.
Probably it would have helped if I had told you that my drives are all USB.
All connected to a small four way hub which is then connected to one USB socket in back of computer.
One - I use as a music drive and is a 160 gb iomega
Two - is a partitioned drive for Photoshop use 340 gb WD
Three - is a drive which has all my ex-Windows computer files and is one TB WD
Four - is a Video and Film drive of one TB WD
Five - is my dedicated auto backup drive which is of one TB WD and is connected directly to a USB socket of computer.
I normally set my computer to sleep until the next time I'm using it, then when I do go to use it, I get the warning message regarding drive was not ejected. Didn't have problems like this on PC so I became worried that in time I'm going to loose files and or the complete drive. Which one is giving me this message is also a bit of trial and error problem. Like suck it and see.....lol.
Anything else you can help me with this query would be most helpful and appreciated. Like do I have to eject all drives before leaving computer and then mount all the drives again for next session.
Regards
John

How do get a mounted drive to always be shown in 'devices'?

Hello,
some time ago, I accidentally clicked "remove" on a mounted drive which was shown in the devices section of finder, on the left. Now, whenever I mount a drive on my desktop, it doesn't show in devices unless I drag it there - and then disappears again on restart. Any ideas how I can get it to stay in the devices section whenever it's mounted?
Thanks!

Yes.

Then, restart.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

How to add drive space from one drive to another drive in Solaris 10

This is something I have never done in Solaris. I have a mounted drive (UFS) with a dir being used for a samba share. The dir is near full. I have another drive right beside it that is empty.
1. How can I add the drive space from the empty drive to the dir or drive that is nearly full? I have to access all files on both drives from the samba share.
2. Can I do this without loosing files?
3. Can I do this without messing up the samba share?
4. Can this be done on the fly without re-boot?
Thanks in advance.

I would start by getting acquainted with ZFS.
Make sure you have a recent Solaris 10 version with a stable zfs impl. like u4 and later.
Make sure you have installed reasonably recent Solaris 10 recommended patches - they make a big difference to ZFS.
Simple solution :
* put your new drive in a zpool
# zpool create smbpool <new_drive_device, fx. c0t1d0>
* make a zfs
# zfs create smbpool/smbfs
* stop your samba server
# svcadm stop smb ?
* copy your files to your zfs fssmb_ufs=old samba fs
# cp -rp <old_samba_fs> /pools/smbpool/smbfs
* un-mount and say goodbye to your old samba fs - /wave
# umount <old_samba_fs>
* expand your zpool with the old samba server fs partition
# zpool add smbpool <device name for old samba slice, fx. c0t0d0s6>
* move your zfs fs to be mounted on the same mount points as the old samba server fs
# zfs set mountpoint=<old_samba_mountpoint> smbpool/smbfs
* restart your samba server
# svcadm start smb ?
It requires downtime for the samba server to copy the files, which could be cut shorter by using rsync, rsyncing while samba server online, stop samba server, rsync again for the changes while the first rsync ran.

Oracle Linux NTFS how-to mount permanently?

How to mount network share on lion permanently

I want to know how to mount a network share from my NAS on mountian lion.
I have seen and tried the suggestions about using command+k or the "go connect to server" and mounting that way so the password for the share is put into the keychain, then dragging the now mounted share to the system preferences user login items.
However this isn't satisfactory. It causes windows to pop up for each share that I have when logging in.
What I Want is for the share to appear as a mounted hard drive in the left navigation column of the finder window. I'd also like to be able to make a shortcut to the share on my desktop (or put it in my dock bar). If it shows up under devices that is perfection okay too, just so it's there somewhere logical.
The pop up windows simply clutter up the desktop, and if they are closed, then the share is closed too, and then there is a manual process of having to use the very tedious command+k or go connect to server method to connect again.
I need them to be able to click and open the share. I don't need them wasting time putting in share paswords and the link over and over.. the share should just be there for them as they work through the day. And if they close the folder/window, then it should be easy to get back to it.
This is possible on windows and I want these mounts to work the same way.
note: my NAS uses smb

That should work. You could try deleting the passwords in Keychain associated with it and try it again.
Another route: Create Applescript:
Select the network drive and get info on it. Copy the server address. Open up Applescript Editor in the Utilities folder and create a new script. Type in mount volume, add space, "paste server address within quotations", and save as application to your documents. Run it from within applescript editor to verify it works. When it asks for a passwork, save it in Keychain.
Under system preferences/accounts/login items, click the + sign to add and select the saved application.

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.

How come no drives are shown on Lion/Mac OS X 10.7.x's desktops anymore?

Hello!
I have been using old Mac OS X 10.5.x and 10.2.x for many years, but noticed 10.7.x/Lion do not show connected/mounted drives anymore on desktop. I do see them in Finder, but that's annoying now. Why did Apple change this design?
Thank you in advance.

Kappy wrote:
Because that's how Apple decided to do it. You simply open Finder preferences, click on the General icon in the toolbar then check the boxes for what you want displayed. Use the Sidebar icon to configure what's displayed in the sidebar.
Problem solved.
Strange decision by Apple!

Mounting drives using LabVIEW

Hi all,
To start off, I'm using LabVIEW 2011 on a Windows 7 machine. I've been mounting flash drives to a work computer, so that I can plug in more than 26 flash drives at a time, and now I've been asked to create a LabVIEW program that can mount the flash drives easily so that anyone can do it.
When I mount a flash drive, I use the Disk Management utility found in the computer managment utility. I did, however, figure out how to mount the flash drives using the command prompt utility, using a command called diskpart. My problem is, if you open a command prompt and type in diskpart, it opens a new command prompt window. I thought that I would be able to use the system exec.vi to enter in multiple commands to the same command prompt window, and recieve the output from the commands, but since diskpart opens it's own window, I cannot do this. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks!

I'm manually mounting my flash drives to folders, then I'm removing their drive letter, so that I can have more than 26 drives plugged into the computer which is responcible for removing the necessary information from them. I don't know how you made diskpart operate from the original command prompt, if I use either system exec.vi in labview, or the command prompt, and type in disk prompt, a new window opens. Lastly, if I did open up diskpart in the original command prompt window, I need to figure out how to enter in a command to a command prompt, receive the output from the command prompt, and then enter in another command to the original command prompt. For instance, I need to be able to run the the following two commands:
DISKPART> select volume 3
DISKPART> assign mount=C:\drive27
(note, DISKPART> is not part of the command, but rather, when you use diskpart, a new window opens and this is the marker for where to enter text)

Removing desktop icon of NFS mounted drive

Hi,
I have an NFS mounted drive (on a linux server) on my mac mini, running OS 10.4. I don't want the icon to appear on the desktop. Is there any way to remove this?
The reason is as follows:
- the NFS mounted directory is of the form servername:/home which contains home directories for all the students. This is mounted to /Volumes/servername. The students home directories are set to /Volumes/servername/userid. Thus, in the finder, their home directory shows up correctly, and they can browse their network files.
- However, /Volumes/servername is shown as a mounted disk icon on the desktop, and if students open this, they get a list of everyone's home directories, which they have to scroll through to reach their own home directory. This gives them immediate access to other people's home directories. Granted, these should all be locked and inaccessable to them, but if anyone has messed up their permissions, everyone will instantly be able to see that there is no red X by the home directory, and they can browse in.
- I realise people can browse in anyway, through the Finder, but its just nice not to make it quite so obvious to them.
So... any ideas on how to remove this desktop icon? Note that it needs to be removed for all users (a hundred or so students, logging in through LDAP).
Thanks!
Richard Grant
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I have figured this out now...
If you mount the directories at the point /home (or at least ask it to - in fact it mounts it somewhere in /private) then the desktop icon is not displayed by default.
