Mount USB vfat and IEEE1394 vfat hdd"s on separate pci

    Trying to mount /dev/sda1 as USB HDD vfat system and /dev/sda2 as IEEE1394 vfat hdd simultaneously using PCI interfaces for each.
    I haven't been able to establish sda2 in cdrecord -scanbus but the sda1 hdd on USB 2.0 is recognized in  -scanbus and can be mounted.
   Modprobe -v ohci1394 and modprobe sbp2 have both been entered.  When using only the IEEE1394 HDD (no USB2.0 HDD connected) I can mount the IEEE1394 HDD as sda1.
   Do I need to change the identification in fstab to sdb1?
   Fstab:
      /dev/sda1      /mnt/fat1   vfat     defaults       0     0
    /dev/sda2       /mnt/fat2    vfat     defaults       0    0

: D  Xentac;
    Sdb1 indeed! That was the solution, now both are available simultaneously.
    Thanks for the response.

  • Automatically mount USB 3.0 WD External HDD with iMac 24-inch mid-2007

    I am using a 2TB Western Digital (WD) My Book Essential external Hard Disk Drive for my iMac 24-inch mid-2007 to use it as a Time Machine backup disk. This HDD only comes with a USB 3.0 connection. 
    Function-wise, it works with the iMac and Time machine uses it for backup without any issues.
    However, the following problem occurs at every restart: the HDD does not mount automatically. And Time Machine stops backuping. To make it work again, I have to either unplug/replug the power cable of the HDD or unplug/plug the USB cable of the HDD so it mounts again and can be used by Time Machine. When unmounted, I tried to see if the disk was at least visible in Disk Utility so I could mount it from there but it does not appear in Disk Utility until I physically unplug/plug it back again.
    For troubleshooting purposes, I have tried to use this HDD with my MacBook Pro Retina 2013 and I don't have the same problem as the HDD mounts itself automatically when I restart.
    So I assume the problem reside in the way the iMac mid-2007 handle USB 3.0 as it was probably manufactured before the USB 3.0 standard was developped.
    Would anyone know a possible workaround for this issue? I don't have too many hopes but one never knows...

    I am using Mavericks 10.9.1.
    The problem was also occuring when I was running Mountain Lion.
    It looks backward compatible to me except when it comes to automatically mount itself after a restart.

  • 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.
    -dvh

    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...

  • [Solved] vfat and iso9660 support?

    I'm not sure whether this is a newbie question, or not!  Earlier this year I moved from Ubuntu to Arch.
    I find that I am unable to mount vfat and iso9660 volumes
    Error mounting /dev/sr1 at /run/media/root/SELPHYCP910: Command-line `mount -t "iso9660" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=0,gid=0,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500" "/dev/sr1" "/run/media/root/SELPHYCP910"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'iso9660'
    (udisks-error-quark, 0)
    Now, I might not have mounted a CD since I installed Arch, but I'm pretty certain that I have used SD cards.  What has happened to my system?  Have I omitted to install something critical?
    Should there be mount.iso9660 and mount.vfat files in usr/bin?

  • MSI 865PE Neo2 and USB WD (MY BOOK) external HDD

    Ok, so recently i went out an brought a My Book. I plugged it in and formatted it.. Next morning i came out turned of my PC and the computer hung during POST. after a few attempts at booting the PC up, i unplugged the MY BOOK from the USB port and rebooted, made myself a coffee and came back, sure enough the PC was sitting in windows.
    So i did a bit of research and found that for some reason, when the PC is booting, it try's either reading from the MY BOOK during HDD detection and then at the end of the ON BOARD PATA/SATA HDD detection it 'Recycles' the USB ports, which crashes POST.
    My main point of getting an EXTERNAL HDD is portability, so i can back my DATA up, but i also am going to use it as another drive on the computer.
    So for my to be playing around, unplugging and plugging back in the Drive everytime the computer boots its sort of. well, not what i had in mind.
    Im at a lost of how to fix it and that why i turn to you.

    Hay ya Tzare, i've been playing for ages! still no luck!
    the best i've got it i've put an inline switch to basically turn power off to the HDD. so i only turn it on when i need it.
    i've tried a few little... crazy things. but with no luck! on involved a 1F 5.5V cap across the GND and 5VDC coming from the USB. oddly without GND connected it works!! but the cap keeps the HDD running forever! i read my multi-meter wrong, i thought it said .33A draw. it was actually 0.33mA, so really it wasnt even 1mA.... sigh!
    i've tryed my luck with MSI and they say contact WD, and WD say contact MSI.
    Im thinking the only real way to solve this is upgrade the motherboard. which also means upgrading the RAM and CPU and any AGP card. so really it will cos around... alot.
    SO, problem still unresolved!..
    Hay, you've got a switch on yours! that a bit better than me! LOL. (until recently)

  • Auto mount of USB sticks and hard drives?

    Hello.
    I'd like ArchLinux to auto-mount USB sticks, hard drives, etc... when plugging them in. How do I manage to do this?
    These are my daemons: DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond dbus hal ntpd alsa gdm)
    Thank you in advance.
    EDIT: Somehow, autofs does not work.
    And btw, I use Thunar as file manager.
    Last edited by rik (2011-04-24 13:24:40)

    You need to have gvfs and thunar-volman installed. Make sure you are a member of the storage group. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xf … le_Devices

  • Problem mounting usb stick with ISO installed on it [SOLVED]

    I'm experiencing a weird problem regarding mounting usb sticks. Archlinux stopped auto-mounting usb sticks on my machine, but only those that contains an operating system.  Empty or data usb sticks mount without problem.
    A few weeks or month ago, I don't remember exactly, still everything was all right, but due to updates(?) usb sticks won't auto mount any more.
    I have two arch partitions none of them mount usb sticks anymore with operating systems on them.
    Today, I wanted to test a new operating system and write it on my usb stick, and of course I couldn't because arch didn't mount it. Luckily, on my other partitions a few old distos are still installed – I don't use them anymore for years- I booted them up and they mounted the usb stick without problem; it seems only the up-to-date system have problem handling the usb sticks. I have two Arch system installed on two different partitions, Gnome 3 and Enlightenment, both system are up to date.
    Here are some info:

    What is sdc1p? Is that another USB stick? It seems to have an equally weird partition map.
    By the way, you can't create an Arch USB bootable in EFI mode with dd. Obviously don't know about sabayon.
    EDIT: Did you dd to the disk or to a partition? What command exactly did you use? Because it almost looks as if you did something like dd once and create one thing and then dd over the top of one of the partition so you've got a partition which itself has a partition map. Not sure that's possible but it sure looks weird.
    I would wipe the key and start over.
    I don't know what is that. It is a partition on the same usb stick, it was the “dd” that made that partition automatically, I guess. When I burn images into usb, I always use this command:
    # dd bs=4M if=/path/to/archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdx && sync
    I used this when burned Sabayon and it works perfectly.
    The problem is that Arch can't auto-mount its own installation usb either. I put the arch install usb in and I get the following output:

  • Single User Mode - mount external drive and make it r/w

    How can I access a USB disk and make it read/write?
    I can't +mount -uw /Volumes/"Time Machine Backups"+ because it says that the disk is a special type.
    Can I just use chmod because the disk is automounted?
    When I attempt to chmod my USB disk, I get this message:
    chmod: /Volumes/Time Machine Backups: Read-only file system
    chmod: /Volumes/Time Machine Backups/.autodiskmounted: Read-only file system
    I know that I can cp from the internal disk, since I can cat the pictures to the terminal. But I can't make the external hard disk writeable.
    I need to do this from single user mode, because the machine won't boot from the DVD.
    -Michael

    Just got back from the apple store. The genius found these things:
    * My DVD is fine. It loaded in another computer
    * My computer is mostly fine, except for the hard disk. It was able to boot off of an external Firewire disk.
    * The DVD drive is fine. When the computer was booted off the external disk, it was able to mount my DVD.
    * The internal HD is definitely bad. Drag/drop copy to an external HD was going to take 3 hours for about 30 files. Disk Utility shows it in red.
    * He suspects that the failing HD prevented the machine from being able to load a DVD. (?)
    His advice:
    1 Buy a new 2.5" SATA disk at Frys.
    2 Buy a USB sled for the old disk
    3 Replace the failing HD in the laptop with the new, unformatted disk
    4 Boot from the OS X DVD
    5 Install the OS from the DVD
    6 Reboot from the internal HD
    7 Insert the failing HD in the sled, and connect it to the computer once it's booted off the new HD. Copy everything from the /users directory
    8 But a new HD for the sled and use it for Time Machine backups
    9 Teach the daughter the importance of regular backups
    Let's hope this works.

  • How do you connect a usb printer and usb external hard drive to the airport extreme, as it only has one usb port?

    I'm thinking about upgrading my old 802.11g router for a new airport extreme. Can it connect to a usb printer and external hard drive at the same time and acutally work. It only has one usb port on the back.
    thank you!

    To add multiple USB printers and/or HDDs, you just first need to connect a USB hub (powered prefereably) to the AirPort's USB port, and then, add the USB devices to the hub.

    Can anyone help me?

    I think it's a bug in KDE4, because no other window manager or desktop environment has such problems. I had it as well, when I used KDE4.0.* for testing and seems like this remained. Do you have a completely german KDE4? Check the system settings!
    A thing comes to my mind, did you check it with konqueror? I guess this bug appears in dolphin, richtig? I schätz mal schon Try it with konqueror, if it doesn't appear there, it's a dolphin thing

    The root problem :
    I want to automount USB storage devices to other places than /media/ and without the need for programs that depend on gnome and the like. As I tried some stuff with hald and such, I didn't really get to a nice and easy to configure solution. Any hints in that direction are always welcome.
    For now, automount of known USB storages devices during boot, will do.
    So the things I tried and didnt work :
    1.
    Provide the disk info to /etc/fstab (via the disks UUID and 'auto' filesystem)
    Add 'mount /mountpoint' to /etc/rc.local
    Result : the mount command in rc.local says '... specify filesystem'
    However, after boot, running /etc/rc.local mounts the USB disks correctly.
    2.
    Provide the disk info to /etc/fstab (via the disks UUID and the correct filesystem)
    Add 'mount /mountpoint' to /etc/rc.local
    Result : pc doesn't get through boot process and gives me the 'ctrl-d to reboot or root passwd for maintenance'
    3.
    Provide no disk info in /etc/fstab
    Add the full mount line to /etc/rc.local (mount -t fs /dev/disks/by-uuid/MyUUID /MyMountpoint )
    Result : don't remember the output of the mount execution, but well, it didn't mount
    However, after boot, running /etc/rc.local mounts the USB disks correctly.
    Is there something that isn't loaded at the time of rc.local execution that I need for mounting of USB devices ? Or why else is this failing ?

    Thanks for the hint hunterthomson, but the pc I will be using it on, is an own-built HTPC/home file server, so there is no way I want to use a graphical file manager to get the usb disks mounted.
    I tried to figure out a little about udev rules, and I got to do what I wanted to do, so thx for pointing me in that direction Mr.Elendig.
    Btw, I am indeed also using auto-sleep/park disks, but this udev way works perfectly.
    I added two rules files to /etc/udev/rules.d/ :
    The first for a known usb disk (with its volume uuid), with a named mountpoint under my media dir /symbiosis/ :
    [basik@plox ~]$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/80-usb-utopia.rules
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="a59332c2-07ba-4c52-afb5-20e361bdf71a",SYMLINK+="usb-%n", GROUP="storage", NAME="%k"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="a59332c2-07ba-4c52-afb5-20e361bdf71a",RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /symbiosis/utopia"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="a59332c2-07ba-4c52-afb5-20e361bdf71a", RUN+="/bin/mount -t auto -o rw,noauto,sync,dirsync,noexec,nodev,noatime /dev/%k /symbiosis/utopia", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="a59332c2-07ba-4c52-afb5-20e361bdf71a", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /symbiosis/utopia", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    The second for unknown usb disks, to mount under the same dir. This is simply taken from the archwiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ude … .26_Tricks
    Make sure these rules are executed after the ones for specific usb disks.
    [basik@plox ~]$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/usb-disks.rules
    KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="usb%m", GROUP="storage", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", SYMLINK+="usb%n", GROUP="storage", NAME="%k"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /symbiosis/usb%n"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/mount -t auto -o rw,noauto,sync,dirsync,noexec,nodev,noatime /dev/%k /symbiosis/usb%n", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /symbiosis/usb%n"
    ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /symbiosis/usb%n", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    These may not be the nicest looking udev rules, but it works for what I wanted to do with it.

  • [SOLVED] Mounting USB drive in Gnome

    I just got a brand new music player (USB, HD-based) and try to mount it in Gnome. Of course i want it to automount, and tried to enable the gnome-volume-manager, which i finally managed. But nothing happens when i plug in the USB. I also created a /media  directory (i hoped it would like to mount there...).
    Then i searched these forums and found  http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=7572, which i followed. Still without any success. Now i have no clue, whatsoever...
    (It works of course in M$ 'dos)

    make sure to modprobe usb-storage and check your logs to see what /dev entry is connected to your usb drive. add that to fstab and gnome-volume-manager should work if you followed iphitus' advice above.

  • How to mount usb drives in osx maverick?

    Tried to connect external usb drive and got thel following message:
    NTFS-3G could not mount /dev/rdisk5s1
    at /Volumes/FreeAgent Drive because the following problem occurred:
    /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.kext faailed to load - (libkern/kext) link error, check the system/kernel logs fir errors or try kextutil(8). the MacFUSE file system is not available (71)

    Other t han Paragon NTFS for OS X which has been supported and works fine the others have had trouble since 10.7.3 era.
    I use both Paragon NTFS and also their HFS+ for Windows. The demo is fully functional for 10 days and is under  $20 (may be on sale too).
    The software that some drive cases come with are often the source of trouble and best not  to install, and to reformat the drive as well.
    I believe Paragon has a utility to convert a drive to/from NTFS and HFS but check their site.

  • Mount usb thumbdrive

    hi there,
    need your help.i run #volcheck when i'd like to detect the mounted floppy disk.what about usb thumbdrive? wud like to mount it and access it but i cant see is when i run df -k.
    please help how i can mount my thumbdrive and the files on it.
    thanks.
    rgds,
    kim

    depending on OS version -
    I haven't been running vold on the Solaris 10 machines I'm playing with - and on them, I simply plug in the memory stick into either the onboard USB 1.1 connection, or into my Adaptec USB 2.0 interface
    once connected, you should be able to "rmformat -l" to see the devices have changed -
    from my own experience, I've only been able to see/use fat32 formatted drives with the mount -F pcfs (mountable rw or ro) commands, and ntfs formatted drives with mount_ntfs (mountable ro, downloadable from web), but you can still mount the drive on your sparc/x86 machine and put ufs/zfs/vxfs on it - and since it's removable format media, you will only really be able to use the "whole" drive versus laying down your own vtoc on the disk (unless somebody knows how to get around that one) - regards - jeff

  • MOUNT USB STORAGE FOR VM BACKUP

    Hi, I just tried to mount USB Storage to my host with linux version.
    I detect it with fdisk -l and esxcli storage core device list | grep -i usb, after stopping usbarbitrator
    Result:
    /dev/disks #dmesg
    ScsiDevice: 3385: Successfully registered device "mpx.vmhba50:C0:T0:L0" from plugin "NMP" of type 0
    /dev/disks # esxcli storage core device list | grep -i usb
       Display Name: Local USB Direct-Access (mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0)
       Display Name: Local USB Direct-Access (mpx.vmhba50:C0:T0:L0)
    How can I get disk usable for perform a VM backup?

    It's in debugging mode now, which is why I can adb push to the phone. The phone should (and has in the past) mounted USB storage even in debugging mode.
    That wouldn't change the fact that no other USB mass storage will mount either. I'm just using my phone as an example. USB Hard drives and my SD card reader don't show up either, but I can't do a "push" command to those like I can my phone...
    If you are wondering where your post went, I think you meant to hit the 'reply' link rather than the 'report' link.  It happens more often than you would think
    Edit: Oh, I see you already figured that out.
