IBook G4 cannot mount FAT devices

Hi,
Since yesterday, I cannot use any FAT device.
ie MP3 reader, Camera, USB reader, HD.
I formatted a SD card with Mac format, it works, I format it with my Minolta, it won't work any more.
Have I to reinstall OSX ?
Thank You

Hello John
The only devices which can be mounted are mac formated (USB or IIE1394)
I have seen on a log somewhere in the system directory an abend about mount DOS FAT.

Cannot mount volume - device offline

Hi everyone,
I am trying to setup OSB on a Linux box (CentOS).
I could configure the tape library and tape drives as explained in the installation/admin guide but could not get the tape volume mounted. It keeps giving the errors:
can't mount volume in tape1 - device offline
It seems that the volume is offline. How can we get it online?
The error log for the tape drive shows:

Mounting usb devices as non-root user ??

How can a non-root user mount a usb flash device?
As root, the device is mounted as:
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1tod0s2:c /mnt
The vfstab entry for this is as follows:
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2:c /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 /flash pcfs 2 no -
This is running Solaris 8 on a SunBlade150

Hello.
I had the same problem.
If you do not have root rights on the computer the answer is: You cannot mount the device.
I had root access and I wrote a C program that (un-)mounted all possible device files (the "s2" devices as well as the "s2:c" devices because some flash devices come without partition table).
I chowned the file to root and set the "set effective user ID" bit in the file's permissions using chmod after logging in as root - so any user can start the program.
I think this is the most flexible variant because USB devices sometimes are assigned other device names.

Cannot mount Truecrypt volume (device-mapper error)

I have a 1TB external USB disk (externally powered) and I have created 3 partitions on it:
Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000202043392 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121600 cylinders, total 1953519616 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

/dev/sdb3 1744824320 1953517567 104346624 7 HPFS/NTFS
The last partition, /dev/sdb3, has been formatted with Truecrypt 7.0a and I'd like to mount it, but truecrypt reports the following error:
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: No such file or directory
Command failed
I am getting the same error with my custom kernel and with stock Arch Linux kernel; what can it be? Can somebody please help me to narrow down this issue?
Thanks

Ehm..I am trying to mount the device (/dev/sdb3), not the mapper! Although I can see that with file-based truecrypt container the mapper gets mounted. Shan't truecrypt create the mapper and mount that for me in case I select a device?
This is the information of the two mappings created (2_0 and 2_1 since I had already mounted a file-based container):

Tables present: LIVE
Open count: 1

None of them gets mounted after I get the mentioned error; maybe truecrypt is expecting a dm feature which I have not enabled in my kernel?

Cannot mount USB disk in SIngle-user mode (solaris 10)

Hi all ,
I need some help please :
I can read/write to my USB disks when i'm in muti-user mode but when to I swith to single-user mode ( init S ), I cannot mount it.
in Single-user mode , i started volume management daemon :
#/etc/init.d/volgmt start
#volcheck
but i'm still not able to mount it.
I tried to mount manually:
#mount /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 /testpoint , i have this error: < mount : not a UFS magic number ( 0x0) , dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 is not of this fstype.
My system recognizes the USB device though in single-user mode:
This is an output of #iostat -En
c2t0d0 Soft Errors: 1 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0

Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0
Illegal Request: 1 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0

Hi ,
thanks for your advice. My problem is resolved.
The USB drive was actually a FAT filesystem.
so I did # mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c /testpoint and everything went fine
I can read/write to my USB disks when i'm in
muti-user mode but when to I swith to single-user
mode ( init S ), I cannot mount it.
in Single-user mode , i started volume management
daemon :
/etc/init.d/volgmt start
#volcheck
but i'm still not able to mount it.It probably requires other items to be started
first.
I tried to mount manually:
#mount /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 /testpoint , i have
this
error: < mount : not a UFS magic number ( 0x0) ,
dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 is not of this fstype.
Looks like it's assuming UFS. If this is a pcfs
filesystem, give it the type on the mount line.
# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 /testpointYeah, this was the right command, I had to specify option < -F pcfs >.
but I read somethere on this forum i had to specify :c as the drive for FAT at the end of c2t0d0p0 , so the full command was:
# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c /testpoint

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,

Cannot open/stat device

Good day to all.
I'm trying to install Solaris 10 (11/06) on my pentium D box. I have 1 SATA hdd (primary master) and 1 DVD-RW drive. The hdd have 2 primary partitions - 1st - win-xp, ntfs, 2nd - for Solaris OS and 1 logical partition. During installation process I have an error - installboot failed - failed to install boot block.
After that I boot in single user shell disagreed to mount found solaris partition on /a and entered command - /sbin/installgrub stage1 stage2 /dev/dsk/c1d0s0 and got an error - cannot open/stat device /dev/dsk/c1d0s2
I don't understand why installgrub trying to use c1d0s2 instead of c1d0s0?
By the way, mount /dev/dsk/c1d0s0 /a works fine.
Pls help!

Hi,
I have a disk with 2 partitions. 1st partition I installed solaris2 filesystem/slices. 2nd partition I created via fdisk from within solaris.
I assigned 2nd partition to a zpool. Creating the zpool trashed my MBR, and I could no longer boot Solaris off the hard drive.
booting into singleuser mode off the install cd, solaris detected the 1st partition, and mounted it at /a. Running installgrub gave me the same error message.
Trick I tried:
Copy stage1 and stage2 files off /a/boot/grub into /tmp.
unmount /a.
re-run installgrub
violla installgrub has no problem writing to device. The MBR was restored! Horray!

Cannot mount root during Solaris install on SPARCengine ULTRA axi

I use boot cdrom which sucessfully formats swp partition and copies files to hd. But then when I reboot I get the following:

Resetting ...
PS: I have recently reset the NVRAM on this machine not sure if there are any env settings I should have setup in OBP (I reset HOST ID and MAC-ADDRESS).

disk@0,0:a is slice/partition 0
disk@0,0:b is slice/partition 1
I'm not sure where you told it your swap slice was going to be. Looks like slice 1. Mini-root gets installed in slice 1 and then the install begins from there.
In the future, if you just "boot cdrom" from disk 1 of 2 you won't run into these issues.

Mounting USB devices in arch guest

I'm new to virtualbox, but not to linux. I have been using arch for at least 3 years, so I have some familiarity with it. I have recently installed arch as a guest OS on virtualbox (on OSX host). I am having some trouble accessing an attached USB device from the arch guest. I have defined the virtualbox USB filter for my device, and it appears to work, detecting the identified device and attaching it to the guest (at least as far as virtualbox is concerned). I can see the device in the virtualbox pull-down menu, and it shows with a "checkmark" next to it, showing (I think) that it has been attached to my arch guest.
Problem is, I cannot see the device from the arch guest. no entry in /dev for any USB device. symptoms are the same whether i insert ther USB device before or after starting the arch guest. I have HAL and dbus active in my guest. Also, I have made this work in arch installed natively. since there is no /dev entry, this might appear to be some form of udev issue? is there a specific udev setup that I should be aware of for arch as a guest?
Please help if you can. I will appreciate all comments and suggestions.

hey, ive got Arch setup in virtualbox as well, and can mount usb's and cd's etc. (although with some issues i may need to bring up in another thread...) anyways, im assuming you have the PUEL virtualbox and not the OSE one?
also, your certain that you've mounted the correct USB (on the Virtual Box pull-down menu)? because you may have mounted a USB which was already attached to your host, and not the actual USB?
just checking, i dont know much about how to fix this issue so im just going at the simple solutions...

Cannot mount external USB drive

During a recent update I remember pacman asking about replacing some package with another package to handle disk mounting. I think the added package was "gnome-volume-manager" or "gnome-disk-utility" (or both). I didn't see any postings describing problems with doing this, so went ahead and allowed the change. Now it's a few days later and I find I cannot mount an external USB hard drive anymore. It has an entry in fstab, and although I have tried mutiple edits of the device to associate the drive with, nothing works.
The disk used to associate with /dev/sdb1. Now this device no longer exists. Here is what has happened to my /dev/sd* entries:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 2009-10-27 11:08 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 3 2009-10-27 11:08 /dev/sda3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 2009-10-27 11:08 /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 2009-10-27 11:08 /dev/sda2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 4 2009-10-27 11:08 /dev/sda4
brw-rw---- 1 root storage 8, 16 2009-11-04 13:00 /dev/sdb
Trying to force association with "/dev/sdb" "/dev/sda5" (or some other number not in use) or "sdb1" (or 2,3,4, whatever) just yields "special device ... does not exist".
Does anybody know how to deal with this?
Does anybody know what package(s) I replaced when the update in question took place? I think I'd like to reverse whatever happened.
And on another note, I think another gnome-based package also recently replaced a package relating to printing. Yesterday I discovered I have printing problems too:
At first there were no printers found. Although cups is supposed to start according to rc.conf, cupsd was not running. I started it manually and then all the printers showed up again, though I cannot print duplex (again, worked fine before). What is going on with these gnome packages?!? Anyone know which package(s) I need to remove (and then what to put back) to make printing work like it used to also?
thanks much.

oddly, fdisk -l shows nothing, even for disks which are mounted (eg. /dev/sda4). when I insert a standard USB thumb drive, the following show up properly:
brw-rw---- 1 root storage 8, 32 2009-11-05 10:50 /dev/sdc
brw-rw---- 1 root storage 8, 33 2009-11-05 10:50 /dev/sdc1
and I am able to mount and use the drive as usual.
The external drive I've been struggling with has xfs for filesystem type. After using the thumb drive, /dev/sdb showed up spontaneously, but no /dev/sdb1. attempting to mount gives:
mount: /dev/sdb is not a valid block device
or
mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
depending on which device is specified in fstab.
I am thinking that either a) my ability to mount xfs filesystems has somehow been hosed, or b) there is something wrong with drive, which must have spontaneously failed very recently (it is less than 1 yr old, but this happens from time to time).
If the drive is okay, any ideas about how mounting xfs filesystems could have been broken by recent upgrades?
btw, the fstab entry (which worked fine until a couple days ago) is: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/external_1 xfs rw,noauto,user,exec 0 0

After boot can't mount SDS file systems on 3300 mount: cannot mount /dev/md

Hi
I have a SUNW,Netra-440 with two SE 3300 SCSI each with two controllers. The server was working fine but after a boot, it can not see the metadevices stored in the 3300.
I have tried restarting the SE3300 and a boot -r from ok prompt but I still can see those disks or partitions.
Metaset Import
metaset: log01: setname "appvol": no such set

i can see the devices in /dev/md/appvol but i can't mount them.
Any ideas what this could be? using metaset shows nothing, metastat -s dbvol hangs.
Am I missing some patch or am I missing something here? is the SE3300 damaged? or is it a problem with SDS (solstice). I have solaris 9.
The system was working fine until we had to boot and power off to perform power tests in the rack.
thanks

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
Yes format displays the physical devices, but metadb -i only shows the internal disks of the netra 440, not the ones in the 3320. metadb -s dbvol -i doesnt show anything.
metaset which is supposed to show me the metadevices, says the program is not registered.
cat /etc/lvm/md.tab has the configuration but since the scsi can be seen, the devices aren't mounted.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Oscar

Cannot mount Xsan volume on Mac Pro

Hi,
I installed a new workstation - a first Mac Pro in our PPC Xsan deployment. I installed Xsan, then latest updates. However, I cannot mount an Xsan volume on this workstation. This is an abstract from the log:

I tried reinstalling Xsan on this workstation, re-entering a licence key to the Xsan admin and rewriting Xsan settings, with no success.
All of the other 10 PowerMac workstations can access the Xsan volume with no problems.
Your help would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
I am accessing this WS via ARD, so public LAN is definitely there. I have not connected the "Xsan" network (but it should be no problems communicating the Xsan traffic over this single LAN connection).
With the firewall, the situation is more strange. When I try to open the Firewall settings on Sharing, there is a dialog "Other firewall software is running on this computer." I googled this and it seems that this was a common problem on 10.3. They suggest to delete com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist file but it is not there on 10.4.
"sudo ipfw list" shows this:
00001 allow udp from any 626 to any dst-port 626
65535 allow ip from any to any
Any ideas on how to make Firewall behave as expected? I will try to reinstall if I don't receive a reply.
Thanks.

Cannot mount storage disk after running "reboot -- -r"

I have a server installed Solaris Sparc u4 and integrated with a storage. When executing "reboot -- -r" or "init 6", the storage disk cannot be mounted after system startup again. The output of console said "
obtaining access to all attached disks
mount: /dev/md/emads/dsk/d50 or /home, no such file or directory
I really added item into /etc/vfstab which is "/dev/md/emads/dsk/d50 /dev/md/emads/rdsk/d50 /home ufs 2 yes global,logging ".
But, if I use "reboot" instead, the storage disk can be mounted normally.
I'm so confused. Could you please tell me the cause and solution? Well, I don't wanna use "mountall" every time after the system is rebooted.

in single user mode, I cannot mount it manually

I have a Gen 2 connected right now, it most definitely uses UMS. I have a Gen 4 at home that also uses UMS. I've got to assume your Gen 3 would as well.
Does it go to the "USB Drive Mode" screen when you plug it in?
Edit: Do remember having an issue one time where it would not go into USB mode. Rebooting the Kindle fixed it. On my Gen 2, you would go to the Home screen, then hit menu and settings, hit menu again and there's an option for "Restart".
