Mount point permission problems after LU

I've upgraded 3 6800 domains from Solaris 9 12/02 to 12/03 in the past few days. I'm seeing a problem on each one after the upgrades. If a normal user enters a filesystem, /var for example, and runs pwd, they get back:
pwd: cannot determine current directory!
If they df -k they get: df: cannot canonicalize .: Permission denied
The problem seems to be based on the permissions of the underlying directories for those mount points. I was able to boot single-user, umount -f /var and ls showed the permissions to be 700. I changed them to 755 and everything works fine.
Has anyone run into this before? I'd like to know how to prevent it. Now I'm going to have to boot cdrom in order to change the permissions of /usr and others, it kind of defeats the purpose of live upgrades if you just have to take it down again to change the permissions.

I'm experiencing a similar issue on a few of our servers that were recently Live Upgraded from Solaris 8 to Solaris 9.
MmmK $ ls -l / | grep var
drwxr-xr-x 44 root sys 1024 Jul 25 17:24 var
MmmK $
MmmK $ cd /var ; pwd
/var
MmmK $
MmmK $ cd /var ; df -k .
df: cannot canonicalize .: Permission denied
MmmK $
MmmK $ cd /var ; sudo df -k .
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 2054529 1432220 560674 72% /var
MmmK $
I haven't been able to procure a maintenance window yet to try bringing up the server in maintenance mode and verifying the mount point permissions.
This is just another example of why I dislike upgrades..
Cheers,
Mark

Permission problems after upgrade to 10.5 on early Power PC G5 Tower

Permissions problems after upgrading to 10.5 on a client power PC (early) G5 tower.
Problems include folders that are created on XServe via this client do not allow any one else including this client to access. All other clients running 10.5, which happen to be newer Intel machines do not have this problem. Repairing permissions, updating to 10.5.1, try to manually correct permissions have all failed to repair the situation. All clients log onto the XServe with the same user/password. This client has since been downgraded back to 10.4.9 and has no issues.
The Xserve runs 10.3.9, any help would be greatly appreciated.
We have read through the forums regarding permission problems after upgrading and even tried some tips found here.

You really should check things out first before speaking.
Here are the requirements for 10.5;
Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard requires:
A Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or Power PC G4 (867 MHz or faster) processor
512 MB memory or more
A DVD drive for installation
9 GB of available disk space or more
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider, fees may apply.
Some features require Apple's MobileMe service; fees apply.

Permission Problems after Migration

I have been overcoming numerous problems following a FireWire migration of files from a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.4.11 to a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.2. Nothing seemed to make the transfer seamlessly, but I have managed, after great effort and help from this community, to get the following migrated "correctly" (version changes in parentheses):
Address Book groups and cards (4.0.6 -> 5.0.1)
iCal calendars (2.0.5 -> 4.0.1)
Safari bookmarks (4.0.4 -> 4.0.3!)
Mail local folders (2.1.3 -> 4.2)
iTunes music (9.0.3 -> 9.0.3)
iPhoto pix (5.0.4 -> 8.1.1) - but "rolls" to "events" still needs work
The current problem is that a few of my files (so far, all password-protected Excel files) are Read-Only on my new machine. Not knowing that it might be an issue, I selected a different User Name on the new machine from the one used on the old machine. The machines are connected over the same network, and I have logged onto the old PB from the MBP successfully. Via Get Info, I have changed the permissions of these files from Read Only to Read and Write for Everyone, but I am still unable to save changes to these files. The Owner of these problem files is listed as the old computer's User Name. I doubt this is relevant, but I am also in the middle of changing from Office X to Office for Mac 2008. Using a tip from a MacWorld article of 3/28/08, I added the old User Name as an alias for the new User Name. This did not solve the problem.
I would truly appreciate any tips that would solve this problem quickly. I am extremely disappointed that the migration has proven to be such a painstaking exercise, one which is not yet complete.
Bob

Baltwo, your suggestion solved the problem easily. I gave in and restored the new machine to factory conditions and then migrated over FireWire seamlessly, with everything completely organized as expected. There was never any option to enter a new username; the old username was part of the migration. I no longer have any file permission issues.
I think the problem arose because I did not have a 9 pin FireWire cable when I started and attempted to migrate over the network - an option that was available. That did not work (due to permission problems!), but somehow I must have created a username on the new machine that ended up causing all of the problems.
Thanks again for pointing to the exact solution to my problem.

Permission problem after latest update, computer can't shut shown

Duplicate Mount Point "Documents 1" after improper reboot

Hi, I recently cold rebooted my SR-MBP (running 10.5.6), and on logging back in, I discovered to my utter surprise that my desktop had been restored to Factory State with all my preferences lost.
I have my HDD set up with two partitions. Partition 1 - "Macintosh HD" is the Leopard partition, and Partition 2 - "Documents" is where I had moved my HOME folder, and therefore contains all my Preferences, Documents, etc.
On closer examination, using Disk Utility I found that the "Documents" Partition had been renamed to "Documents 1", and my Home folder was mapped to /Volumes/Documents/Home. I remapped it to /Volumes/Documents \1/Home (the current renamed location) and it didn't solve the issue.
I found Apple's help on the issue http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24241?viewlocale=en_US . It suggests among other things to move the contents of the false Mount Point to /
[quote]Type this command, followed by Return, to move the contents of the false mount point:
mv "Documents 1" / [/quote]
I am not too sure of this step, does this move the contents (which would take forever for me since I have a 400 GB partition - nearly full), or just create a mount point? If it actually moves the contents, I would rather reinstall Leopard, as that would be faster for me. But I guess I am lost here... how does this work? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Just to add some detail here, in case this help those who come across this thread:
1. If the duplicate mount point is associated with an external drive, eject the drive or restart the Mac with the drive powered off.
2. Go to Finder by toggling Command + Tab across available selections.
3. Select Go > Go to Folder... (or press Shift + Command + G)
4. If necessary, type /Volumes in the displayed dialog box, and press Go.
5. You should see a folder in the displayed list with the offending name; right-click it, and select Move to Trash.
That should do it!
Good luck!

Permission Problems After Clean Intall Accessing External Drives

Okay, the ubiquitous permissions problem. Perhaps apple should release a system update that strips this BS out, as single users and home users, do we really need this? I'm just driving my Ferrari to the grocery store! It is just complications that nobody needs.
So, with a fat chance of that happening, is there a DEFINITIVE paper/instruction on permissions? Please point me to it. I've tried here and there is nothing that seems to work for me. I'd like to NOT have to learn anything and continue without messing around with this crap, but it did it to me, so now I'm forced to screw around to fix it.
(I used to be a system admin years ago so I can take a fairly technical approach, but I'd rather not. (Puh-leeze! No terminal instructions.)
Here's my problem:
Having had a problem with corrupt login items and being unable to uninstall them, (the machine crashed and rebooted) I was left to perform a clean install of my system.
I have numerous hard drives attached.
Well, upon a successful install and migration of settings from Safari and Firefox and such, I was gently told that a couple of my drives are not accessible by me, the user. (I can see'em, but some apps like transmission won't write to them. Or backup software cannot backup to them.) I'm currently setup up with my daily account/user as the admin, with the super-admin account dormant and not used, as I've been instructed. (My previous system had me using my super-admin account all the time.)
How do I go about setting permissions to reaccess these drives without checking the "ignore permissions" box?
Is the simplist thing to do, to just copy/backup the drives, erase them under my present account, and re-install the data to fix this permission BS?
I've done the "fix permissions" thing and it does not help.
Do drives that you create with a former system user, retain the user profile that created them even after you install a new system, thus causing this problem?
Thanks

What users do you have defined on your system?

Thanks for the help, guys. I downloaded the app and will take a look at that to fix my problems.
What user do you want to use to look at the data?
Decide what user you are going to logon as.
Use BatChmod to make this the owner of the data. The group should be whatever is the group assigned to your logon user.
Do drives that you create with a former system user, retain the user profile that created them even after you install a new system, thus causing this problem?
Files you created with root still have root permissions.
The other 5 diskes, internal, externals FW, and removeables FW toasters, were all created under the old system, using the super-admin user. That designation is gone. (Actually, I recreated the same name/login on the newly installed system, along with my everyday admin user log in.
I get the feeling I'm stuck in a little permission limbo, as the disks are looking for the old super-user and that's gone. Correct?
I assume by super-user you mean root. You can enable the root account again if you wish. There is not need.
I'm not sure what user, or group I should be setting everything too, now. Me, as the admin/user or
Who is Herk the super-admin? How did you define Herk.
By definition super-user is root. You are not allowed to rename root. So the super user isn't Herk.
A user can be given admin rights. This doesn't give the user super user/root rights. Root can read & write any file on the system. This root is the super user.
By Herk do you mine you gave Herk admin rights?
Bottom line:
[] Decide what user you will be using on your system.
[] Change all permission you your external drives to match user & group of that id.
Some people define two user on their system. This way maybe more secure, but with more hassles.
standard user
admin user
I run with one user:
admin user. This lets me install programs without have to change to another user. It doesn't let me look at system data. I cannot look at other userids data. ( I want to look at data I do not have permissions to, I can use the terminal to gain access. )

Permission problem after upgrade of iPhone

Hello,
I just upgraded iPhone 5s yesterday to the newest software version and since then cannot connect it to my macbook pro it gives me an error "you don't have permission to access this iPhone" but I his "Trust" every time it asks me, every time I reconnect.
I hit continue in iTunes
and I hit Trust on iPhone. I restarted both devices few times. Nothing helps.

Hi there ebaqdesign,
It sounds like you are getting an error message whenever you connect it to iTunes saying you dont have permission to access it, even though you tap Trust when it prompts you. I would start by resetting the phone while it's unplugged from the computer:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Then test the issue again. If it persists, I would next backup the phone to iTunes or iCloud:
How to back up your devices using iCloud or iTunes
Then I would use Recovery Mode to re install the iOS on the phone. Choosing update rather than restore will not compromise the data, but the backup is there just in case:
Connect your device to a computer and open iTunes. If you don't have a computer, you can borrow one, or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Providerfor help.
While your device is connected, force it to restart. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. Don't release when you see the Apple logo. Keep holding until you see the Recovery mode screen.
When you get the option to restore or update, choose Update. iTunes will try to reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
iTunes will download the software for your device. If it takes more than 15 mintues, your device will exit recovery mode and you'll need to repeat steps 2 and 3 again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Weird permission problems after 10.5.7 update

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but since the update, it appears my Firewire ports have been fried and I have lost three Lacie external drives. They WILL mount on my Macbook Pro running Tiger but my PPC which is my main compute will not see them at all.
When I ran repair disk permissions again just now, I got a bunch of normal repairs for Quicktime, iTunes, etc. but these were at the end and I never saw anything like this.
Any idea what this means?

IPhoto 9.6 library permission problems after loading Yosemite

I recently loaded Yosemite 10.10.1 and upgraded iPhoto to version 9.6. Upon opening iPhoto, I get a message about library needs to be upgraded to work with this version. I hit ok and then it fails with a message about unable to fix library. I think my pervious version of iPhoto was probably about 2 years ago. I do have a time machine back up but when I go to the the Photo/iPhoto.Library I don't get a restore option

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

ZFS mount point - problem

Hi,
We are using ZFS to take the sanpshots in our solaris 10 servers. I have the problem when using ZFS mount options.
The solaris server we are used as,
SunOS emch-mp89-sunfire 5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440Sys
tem = SunOS
Steps:
1. I have created the zfs pool named as lmspool
2. Then created the file system lmsfs
3. Now I want to set the mountpoint for this ZFS file system (lmsfs) as "/opt/database" directory (which has some .sh files).
4. Then need to take the snapshot of the lmsfs filesystem.
5. For the mountpoint set, I tried two ways.
1. zfs set mountpoint=/opt/database lmspool/lmsfs
it returns the message "cannot mount '/opt/database/': directory is not empty
property may be set but unable to remount filesystem".
If I run the same command in second time, the mount point set properly and then I taken the snapshot of the ZFS filesystem (lmsfs). After done some modification in the database directory (delete some files), then I rollback the snapshot but the original database directory was not recovered. :-(
2. In second way, I used the "legacy" option for mounting.
# zfs set mountpoint=legacy lmspool/lmsfs
# mount -F zfs lmspool/lmsfs /opt/database
After run this command, I cant able to see the files of the database directory inside the /opt. So I cant able to modify anything inside the /opt/database directory.
Please someone suggest me the solution for this problem. or anyother ways to take the ZFS snapshot with mounting point in UFS file system?..
Thanks,
Muthukrishnan G

You'll have to explain the problem clearer. What exactly is the problem? What is "the original database directory"? The thing with the .sh files? Why are you trying to mount onto something with files in it in the first place?

Built in rule in Linux to prevent additional space after 90% of mount point

We have an RHEL instance on VMware which uses RAID configuration for storage on SAN device. There is an observation with regard to the virtual instance on which our Oracle database is hosted that one of the mount points on which backup is stored starts giving trouble after the spaces reaches 90% in the way that the Oracle backup fails. There is another virtual machine on which there is no problem even if the spaces crosses 90%. Is there something like a rule built in into the file system that could prevent an attempt to write something on it once it reaches 90%?
I hope I have been able to explain the problem that can a rule be built into the file system which prevents writing to it once it reaches 90%.
Requesting a reply to my query.
Regards

Disk space can be restricted by implementing disk quotas which alert a system administrator before a user consumes too much disk space or a partition becomes full. Disk quotas can be configured for individual users as well as user groups.

After copying Arch to new SSD, KDE permission problems.

Following instructions in this thread:https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=596228
1. Boot a Ubuntu livecd
2. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/old
3. mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/new
4. cp -rav /mnt/old/* /mnt/new
5. umount /mnt/old
6. mount -o bind /dev /mnt/new/dev
7. mount -t proc none /mnt/new/proc
8. chroot /mnt/new /bin/bash
---1. grub-install /dev/sdb
---2. exit
9. Exit and reboot
And modifying /etc/fstab
My Archlinux boots fine but some problems occur:
1. 20s delay for no reason after KDM login.
2. No sleep option in leave menu or power management settings.
3. networkmanager is running fine but kde plasma widget for it shows networkmanager is not running and asks me to start it.
4. The battery monitor of KDE seems to lose access to power management and battery.
5. cannot change settings in kde systemsettings--login screen.
I guess it is caused by some file copying permission problems or symbolic link problems. So how can I figure it out?

that's why you should use rsync -a and not cp.

Installing Oracle RAC problem: Could not determine /tmp mount point

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer and according to the tutorial
http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
I am installing Grid infrastructure. I am on step 7 of 10 (verify Grid installation enviroment) and get this error:
"Free Space: Rac2: /tmp"
Cause: Could not determine mount point for location specified.
Action: Ensure location specified is available.
Expected value: n/a
Actual value: n/a
I have checked the free space using the command:
[root@Rac2 /]# df -k /tmp
Output:
Filesystem 1k-blocks used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 30470144 7826952 21070432 28% /
As you see above, the free space is enough, but could not determine mount point for /tmp.
Do any folks understand how to determine the mount point for directory /tmp ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. I have found the file ./bash_profile under /home/ora11g/ and the file is invisible. However, I edit the file using the command:
[ora11g@Rac2 ~]$ vi /home/ora11g/.bash_profile
I add the 2 lines into the file as below:
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR
I save the file .bash_profile and reboot Oracle Linux 5.6 and check again on step 7 of 10 in the Installer, but the problem is still not solved.
Can any folk help to solve the strange problem "could not determine mount point for /tmp" ?
Thanks.

SQL 2014 cluster installation on mounting point disks error: Updating permission setting for file

Dear all,
I am attempting to install SQL 2014 fail over cluster under a physical windows 2012 R2 server which have mounting point disks.
At the finish of setup I get the following error message.
Could you please help me on this?
Thanks
The following error has occurred:

I am using an administrator account which have all security rights (cheched on secpol.msc mmc) needed for installation.

Hi Marco_Ben_IT,
Do not install SQL Server to the root directory of a mount point, setup fails when the root of a mounted volume is chosen for the data file directory, we must always specify
a subdirectory for all files. This has to do with how permissions are granted. If you must put files in the root of the mount point you must manually manage the ACLs/permissions. We need to create a subfolder under the root of the mount point, and install
there.

New-Partition assignes driver letter to mount point after reboot.

Trying to create a series of mount points using powershell on Server 2012 R2. When I have used diskpart in the past I could initialize the disk, create a partition, format a volume and assign a mount point without assigning a driver letter to the drive.
When I try to do the same thing in Powershell on Server 2012 R2, everything looks great until I reboot. Every partition I created and assigned as a mount mount gets a driver letter added to it... I am using mount points to avoid drive letters. Is there a way
to prevent this behavior. The following is an example:
Get-Disk 3 | Initialize-Disk -PartitionStyle GPT
Get-Disk 3 | new-Partition -UseMaximumSize -AssignDriveLetter:$False | Format-volume -confirm:$False
Add-Partitionaccesspath -DiskNumber 3 -Partition 2 -AccessPath c:\someFolder
Everything looks good at this point with no driver letter assigned. Rebooting adds a driver letter to the volume with no impact on the mount point... Is there a way to suppress the driver letter assignment?

Figured it out... It appears that this part works fine:
Get-Disk 3 | Initialize-Disk -PartitionStyle GPT
$Part = Get-Disk 3 | new-Partition -UseMaximumSize -AssignDriveLetter:$False
$Part | set-partition -NoDefaultDriveLetter:$True
$Part | Format-volume -confirm:$False
If you look at the output of Get-Partition the NoDefaultDriveLetter value is TRUE. After running Add-PartitionAccessPath it changes to FALSE. You can set it back with the Set-Partition command:
Get-Partition -DiskNumber 3 -Partition 2 | add-PartitionAccessPath c:\SomePath -passthru | set-Partition -NoDefaultDriveLetter:$True
I had a bunch of them to do so I used the following:
Function Config-Disk {
[cmdletbinding()]
Param(
[INT]$Disk,
[INT]$Partition = 2,
[String]$Label,
[String]$MountPoint
Get-Disk $Disk | Initialize-Disk -Partitionstyle GPT
Get-Disk $Disk | New-Partition -UseMaximumSize |
Format-Volume -FileSystem NTFS -NewFileSystemLabel $Label -Confirm:$False
Add-PartitionAccessPath -DiskNumber $Disk -PartitionNumber $Partition -AccessPath $MountPoint -Passthru |
set-Partition -NoDefaultDriveLetter:$True
MD "c:\SomeLocation1"
MD "c:\SomeLocation2"
Config-Disk -Disk 3 -Label "SomeLabel1" -MountPoint "c:\SomeLocation1"
Config-Disk -Disk 4 -Label "SomeLabel2" -MountPoint "c:\SomeLocation2"
