Mounting IFS-Drive...Problem

We have successfully installed Ifs 1.1 on a sun solaris machine.
We tried to mount the Ifs Drive in Windows NT, with no success. The Samba server is running on the IFS machine, as we have seen.
Until now we had no problems to mount the ifs drive. The difference was that IFS was installed on a NT machine.
What do we have to look for when we want to mount the IFS drive on (Ifs is on solaris)
with Windows NT?
Second question:
Is it possible to mount the drive via Internet?

But if we shut down the samba server, we aren4t able to access the IFS-Drive via Windows NT, or? What we mean is the Samba-Server of IFS.<<
Ok sorry, I thought you where using samba and iFS on the same machine (BTW: iFS has nothing to do with samba. It has it's own implementation of the smb protocol). What is your exact problem ? I just installed iFS on a Solaris 7 machine and hat almost no problems integrating it into my windows environment. The only problem I had was that the iFS server isn't visible in my Network Neighborhood. But I was able to search (and find) the computer with the 'search computer dialog'.

Mac Mini Mounting Network Drive problems.... weird

Okay 2 Mac minis. Older G4/1.33/512/40/Combo, 10.4.11 Not as old C2D/1.83/2gb/80/Combo. First one mounts SMB shares from a NAS store no problems.
2nd one (newer) does SOME of the shares and not others. Will see, connect, mount and place icon on desktop. As soon as I click th icon on desktop or side panel in finder, it clears screen, closes the windows that are that open. Other mounted shares it will open and use. Its the same ones each time that cause the problem.
Anyone no why? Have checkled all network settings on both machines and there both identical in evy way. Connecting using same user name and password.
Hellllpppppp

You could try reinstalling the OS?

IFS Drive does not mount as well as Item Name error

Fast User Switching with Mounted Network Drive?

I have a headless G4 Cube running 10.5.8 with a 2TB firewire drive plugged in for storage accessable to any of my macs here at home. I can access it fine with my 2 desktops over ethernet and wirelessly. Recently we decided to consolidate our 2 desktops into one using the muliple users feature. Seems to work fine, and both accounts can access the shared drive. They are logging in with the cube's admin credentials, and the shared drive is set to ignore permissions. I have the drive set to mount on login with a startup item in the system login items prefs. As long as I logout before switching users, everything is good.
The problem arises with Fast User Switching which we'd love to be able to use. I can't figure out how to connect to the drive in one account without the 2nd account then seeing it as a volume without proper permissions, then that account creates a new volume mount for it (which doesn't work with iTunes properly and seems to cause other wierd issues).
Example: So say 'user1' logs in, mounts the drive 'Jukebox'. everything seems OK so far. 'Jukebox' is on the desktop and iTunes finds the music. Now I fast user switch to 'user2' and there is a 'Jukebox' on the desktop with the red minus icon indicating I don't have permissions to access it. If I then browse the network and mount the drive, I end up with ANOTHER 'Jukebox' on the desktop. BUT iTunes doesn't see it properly. If I look in the /Volumes/ folder with the Terminal, I see a mountpoint for 'Jukebox' (with the owner of 'user1' group 'staff') and now a new mountpoint called 'Jukebox-1' (with the owner of 'user2' group 'staff').
It seems when you mount a AFP drive, it creates the Volume with the current user and staff group, but switching to another user then can't access that when it sees it in the /Volumes folder. You try to mount again and it creates a NEW mountpoint, names it with a '-1' at the end and you can use that (but iTunes cant).
So... how does one use a shared drive that you want on BOTH users desktops with Fast User Switching turned on? Is there a way to have the drive mounted BEFORE either user logs in, such that it will be seen as any other local drive (which doesn't have the issue)??
Or is there some other way I can attach to the network volume in each account on login so both have access to music and videos with full permissions?
I'm really stumped here after 2 hrs of googling, searching here and trying things.
TIA

I've not had any luck with the suggestions in the link either.
Here's two other approaches I've tried and failed with:
1. Creating a new share point on the cube itself so that one user can mount it as a different volume. Then the issue is that I still don't have a volume named "Jukebox" available to each user when switching. I DO have access now to the data from both accounts, but under 2 different mount points (volume names) and the xml file for iTunes is hard coded with the path for each mp3 including the "Jukebox" volume name... so no go.
2. Tried figuring out a way I could script a mounting of the share with the terminal thinking I could then run that shell script at startup. Can't seem to get the sytax right. If I create a directory in /Volumes and mount and afp share to it, it takes on the ownership of root/wheel which I can't access in the finder and can't seem to change.
BUT I'll keep playing with both these ideas a bit... the first one might be overcome with a bit of logic and the 2nd if I can get the syntax right to mount the share with afp_mount and give it the correct ownership/permissions such that when a user logs in she/he sees the volume on the desktop and has full r/w access to it.
thanks again. if you offhand know the syntax for that, let me know

How can i restrict access to a mounted smb drive?

Hope someone can help this is bugging me! i'm running this apple script as a student logs in to mount the students share folder, located on a MS2003 server, and a share drive on an Xserve to their desktop:
set student_name to (do shell script "echo $USER")
property stu_password : ""
-- displays the password dialog box and stores the result in stu_password
repeat while stu_password is ""
display dialog "enter your password to access the share" default answer stu_password with hidden answer
set stu_password to text returned of result
end repeat
-- mounts the network share to the desktop
tell application "Finder"
open location "smb://servername/stuhome/" & student_name & "/"
open location "afp://" & student_name & ":" & stu_password & "@servername/Share/"
end tell
It works fine and mounts the drives however... finder then defaults the network location so the student has access to all the folders on /servername/stuhome/ I just want it to mount /servername/stuhome/username/ with no backwards access. I cant set permissions from a server folder level (i don't think!) as its a windows server. any suggestions? why does finder do this? ta.

[SOLVED!] On USB drives, problems with non-English chars and HAL

Hello,
I am having a problem with non-English caracters (áãàçéẽê...) on files stored on my USB drive.
On Windows they're created with the correct name. But on Linux the files have the non-English characteres replaced by '?' and are not accessible.
If I manuallly mount the drives using 'mount -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk' the characters are OK, so I think I just need to get HAL to pass the correct parameters to mount. However I don't know how to do that, and haven't found any good solution.
I tried to build a custom kernel setting the default charset as UTF-8 and it didn't work.
Any ideas? I'm using x86-64, HAL 0.5.13-3 and my locale is pt-BR.UTF-8.
Thanks!
EDIT: Actually, this is not a HAL problem, but a problem with 'exo'. For the solution, I edited /etc/xdg/xfce4/mount.rc and added iocharset=utf8 to the [vfat] category.

I don't use Thunar presently, but I looked in the Thunar Volume Manager doc and I didn't find anything to change the mount options of removable drives. I am not quite sure if it's possible or not. Maybe someone using it can tell for sure.
But if it is not possible to change the mount options, a possible solution is to disable the Thunar Volume Manager plugin and to use something else more configurable to manage the automount function.
Personally I use the halevt package from AUR which uses configuration files in the xml format.
It's not so easy to use but is highly configurable.
But there exists other tools also.
I can help you with halevt if you choose that way...

Help! folder icon w/ exclamation point - hard drive problem?

I live in the philippines and the store which i called up said the only solution is to show the receipt and they will send it to singapore but i still have to buy a new one. it's like they're not giving me choices at all. i know my iPod is not yet "dead", why do i have to buy a new one? how can i have this repaired?! it hasn't been a year yet, but around 10 months already and i don't have the receipt anymore.
here's what happened...
for the past week my iPod has been skipping songs, going to the next ones but doesn't play at all. sometimes it even freezes. and i hear this whirring sound at the back.
so i decided to connect it to the computer and erase all my songs first coz i thought maybe the problem was with the files. but iTunes didn't recognize the device. so i decided to reset it (so that the songs and my factory settings will be erased) by pressing menu and select at the same time. then after i did this the "do not disconnect" message kept on showing up and eventually it just stayed there. so i tried resetting again. the apple logo shows up but after a while the folder icon with exclamation point shows up. then it would turn off.
I tried restoring it with updater but it says it could not mount the ipod. so this might be a hard drive problem already. how can i solve this?
please help!

Try calling their toll free number <probably charges apply when you're calling outside the US>, 1-800-827-0685.
Usually, they will send your machine to the nearest repair station. I think in SEAsia, repair stations are in Malaysia.
Your iPod comes with a universal warranty, so you could definitely have that repaired even without the receipt. <Im from the Philippines too. I what you mean...>
good luck!=D

[Solved-sortof] Mounting dvd drive /dev/hdc

My dvd drive is not mounting for some reason, I thought maybe I just needed to restart and that it would mount again but no luck, this is what I get:
mount /dev/hdc /test
mount: no medium found
I put the same DvD in my cdrom/dvd drive and it mounts so i know it's not the dvd. I thought well, this is a dell shipped dvd drive so maybe it died, I'll give it a test. I slap the dvd in the drive, since it's the master cd drive it shoudl load a cd at bootup and it does, loads Fedora dvd image easily. I did upgrade something this morning, mostly gnome stuff, so I am thinking it's one of the packages assuming I don't have /dev/hdc on my computer. Is there a way to see what's going on?
Quick Edit
I did a quick edit to see what exactly was going on, I am far from a linux pro, but I do have some common sense. I took gdm / hal off my daemons list and rebooted. Now from command linue I logged into root and tried to mount the drive /dev/hdc and it worked perfectly flawless, no errors. So I am guessing this has to do with a hal problems that was caused during an update. Any further help would be much appreciated though because I don't know where to go from here.
Edit again
I solved my little "issue" apparently it was just the dvd I was trying, for some odd reason my dvd drive was refusing to auto-load the dvd movie. Yes I burned a dvd movie, I do own the original copy, I just burn a backup incase of dmg / loss. The original dvd loads fine with no mounting issues. The dvd I burned works in a dvd player, and on my secondary dvd/rw drive, I don't like watching movies on the dvd/rw drive though because of the fact that it's read capabilities is much slower. I am still puzzled on why my dvd drive doesn't like to mount / read it correctly.

not sure, but in order to mount cds/dvds, I think you must use the -o loop flag

Pcmanfm is "Not Authorized" to mount usb drives

Hi,
I recently installed arch linux it's a nice distro but I got a few problem with it.
The biggest one is that I am actually not able to mount usb drives with pcmanfm this means that I am not able to use my old debian /home so far.
I tired multiple thinks (some of them are still active) e.g for example I used to setup a udev rules which wasn't helpful at all (and even after deleting this rule I always see server empty folder in /media (but that's another problem)).
Any ideas why I am not able to mount encrypted and not encrypted USB drives in arch linux?

Cannot mount external drives

Hi all!
I have an 2010 imac i5 32GB RAM, running on 10.9.2.
All of a sudden my machine does not mount ANY extrenal hard drive. It recognises them in Disk Utility, but they appear greyed and cannot be mounted. Not even disk repair. Last week though the drives were mounting on the system without any problems.
Yesterday I have upgraded the OS to 10.9.2. (from 10.6.8). Still the same problem, the drives are recognisable in DU but cannot be mounted.
All of the disks I've tried are NTFS format (originally formatted on a pc). Funny thing is I have VMware Fusion on my mac runing a virtual Windows 7 pc. Windows do recognise the drives and mount them without problem, but not the mac.
Also note that I'm using Tuxera NFS to work with these drives with no problem so far, until now.
Also checked the cables, I'm connecting the drives though USB ports, they are ok.
Any suggestions?

just guessing you are using USB to mount the external. you may need to use two usb ports to mount the drive. that means a cable with two usb connectors which should provide enough power to the external.

Mounting NAS drives to iMac

Hello, I have had this problem for some time and haven't figured out the fix and so far neither has anyone else.
I have a Linkstation Buffalo NAS device.
I have it mounting to my iMac at boot automatically.
When it does mount the drives I get an icon on the desktop and a finder window opens on the desktop for each mount.
This is not what I want, I want a quite in the background mount.
When I go into to System Preferences and select Users & Groups I move to the Login items and there I can see the filesystems I want to mount at boot up.
I leave the boxes checked so that the default is to hide the mounts when I log in.
It doesn't work, unchecking the boxes doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to prevent finder from opening a bunch of popups when these mounts go active so I don't have to close them each time?
I don't see an vfstab or fstab like you would under Solaris or Linux that can be hacked.
ej

From what I'm reading online, it sounds like that "hide" feature only works for applications.
I'm having the same annoying issue. Not sure there is a fix unfortunately.

Jaguar OS no longer is able to mount external drives

I am using a PowerMac 7600 with a Sonnet G4 processor (OS 10.2.8) to download streaming audio to an external hard drive. This has served me very well for a number of years. All of a sudden, the 7600 can no longer mount an external drive, neither USB nor FW. The Drive shows up in Disk Utility but the name of the volume is grayed out. The problem exists with several different drives which mount OK to my MacBook. Using the Disk Utility to attempt to mount the drive has no effect. Neither Rebooting nor Repair of Permissions solves the problem.
Suggestions please.

MBP Hard Drive Problem (Again)

My MBP is going back to the Geniuses for a HD problem for the 3rd time tomorrow, since I bought it in July. I am confused about exactly what is happening, and I would like any advice anyone might have about salvaging any of my data.
(The first two times, I brought it in because the HD died. The first time, they told me they had replaced the HD, though they hadn't. They ran diagnostics, decided it did not need to be replaced after erasing my data, and then gave it back to me. I brought it back the next day [t died that night as I was reinstalling] and they replaced the HD in about a day.)
Everything got really slow this weekend and I had "index" and "database" problems in my mail.app (twice), and my iTunes (twice). Now, the replacement HD has disappeared when I tried to reinstall the system software/repair the disk in disk utility.
This is the chronology:
I have had this hard drive for 3 weeks, installed at the local apple store to replace my factory-installed dead hard drive.
On Friday, my mail app stopped working. After diagnosing the error message (thanks to this forum), I learned that the index file was corrupted, so I reinstalled the index.
On Saturday, my iTunes said it couldn't read my iPod, so I restored my iPod, erasing all of my data (music, calendars, contacts, important documents). I continued to get the same error message.
Today, I restored it again, but I still couldn't get iTunes to write more than 2 gb of information (of the 20 gb of data). At that point, I decided I would have to send my iPod in for repairs and stopped trying.
8 hours later, I got an error message that said the iTunes index was corrupted. I started to put the music back in to iTunes, but the MBP kept kept freezing.
I restarted the machine and received the blinking questionmark. I put in my system installation disks to run disk utility and, if need be, reinstall my system software.
This is where it gets interesting:
Disk Utility can see the topline Disk Description and the SMART status is verified. But the name of the disk itself is wrong and the mount point says it is unmounted. The capacity is correct, but under everything from owners enabled to number of files and space available, there is just a dash.
Unlike my previous hard drive problem, there is no clunking, and the hard drive appears to be working. Disk Utility found the following: Invalid B-tree node size. The volume needs to be repaired. Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit. 1 HFS volume checked: volume needs repair. And that's it.
My questions are:
1. What is happening to my hard drive?
2. Is it dead or is there any way to fix it?
3. Is there any way to salvage my data? (Because of my iPod failure, I lost my calendars, contacts, important data from my last big back up 3 weeks ago, not to mention my carefully curated music collection. I have my documents backed up to gmail, but not my notes, which were on my iPod.)
4. Does it sound like an internal hardware problem or is it really just two bum hard drives (from two different manufacturers) in a row?
MacBook Pro 2.16 ghz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

In case anyone receives a series of index problems which escalate into apparent hard drive failure and blinking question mark of doom . . .
the Geniuses fixed the computer by doing a complete wipe of my hard drive.
They said that the directory error may have existed from before my last hard drive was installed, but I am not certain how such a thing could exist.
Because it was a directory error, I lost all of my data on the hard drive, but I was able to take the machine home with me within an hour. Since the erase and reinstallation, my computer is running much, much faster, and seemingly cooler, but that may just be my relief at having a working machine back.

Photoshop Lag with mounted Network Drive

Me and a co-worker have the same problem, we work in a production environment. We do all of our work on a network. We are using CS3. Normally we have 4 other macs mounted on our desktop. There is one drive that when it is mounted, our files take 5 minutes to open and or save even if the file we are opening is on our desktop and 1meg. if we eject this drive then photoshop returns to normal. This mac that is mounted is our customer file server so all the stuff we need to open in photoshop is on this drive so it has to be mounted. This problem seemed to start when we upgraged to CS3.
Any help?

Jay...
If you were able to take a decent poll of visitors past and present, I'd bet you'd find more than a handful of users just on this one forum who could tell you that Disk Warrior (or Drive Genius) has saved their *******' bacon, when no other utility or maintenance routine thrown at the hard drive would make it read properly.
It's happened twice for me in the past 11 years. The return on investment is incalculable.
I reiterate what Neil said:
"Does your boss buy a car and "save" by not performing routine maintenance?"
"Same thing with your computer. It needs routine maintenance, too. Explain to your boss that you'd be far more productive if your computer weren't crippled -- and it won't get better on its own. "
I had a boss who was a horrible tightwad (and was known as such throughout the printing industry in my city), and kept balking on getting me some more RAM for the PowerMac 7300/180 MHz I was using. I was limping along on 32 MB, and many of the files I was working on daily were in the 100-400MB range. You have no idea how many smoke and coffee breaks I used to take, waiting for simple operations to take place. He stopped in my building one day, and caught me next door at the deli, sipping a coffee and leisurely eating a bagel. He read me the riot act. I let him act like a ******* and chew me out in front of everyone in the deli.
When he was done going ballistic on me I simply said to him something like this: "If you weren't such a cheapskate, and would spend a little money to upgrade my machinelike I've begged you to for 6 monthsI could get a whole lot more done and we wouldn't be in this predicament, now would we?"
I fully expected to be fired on the spot, but I had gotten to the point where I didn't care. I was ALWAYS being given too much work for the machine to handle in a 50 hour week.
I had done research, and showed him facts and figures; I tried to make him understand in terms of dollars and centsa language he understoodbut he just didn't get it.
Next day, I yanked a 128MB module from my system at home and brought it to work. I called him at the other building and demanded he come right over.
I had the cover off the PowerMac; loaded into Photoshop I had one of our typical jobsabout 200 MB. I had a Photoshop action set to go, and I showed him how long it took to do a few common procedures (Rotate/straighten, crop, save). In fact, we even went next door, grabbed a coffee, ate a bagel, smoked a cigarette and came back, and the file still had about 5 minutes worth of processing to go.
Then, I shut down, popped the 128 MB RAM module in, and performed the same manipulations I had done before. The difference was extraordinary, down from about 20 minutes to under 5.
He
finally
understood what I was trying to tell him. He got on the phone right then and there and ordered a half GB of RAM, to be shipped overnight.
All of this is offered as an anecdote, as an example of why you need to find what ever way necessary to explain to your boss the need for the monetary outlay. The small amount he spends now could very well save him enormously in the future, in time, aggravation
and
money.

Password required to mount usb drive in linux

Hi all. Hoping someone can help me with a problem I have trying to mount a drive connected to the USB port on my BT Homehub 4.
I have a Toshiba USB drive connected to the USB port on the BT Homehub 4. I can access this drive from any windows device by browsing to the homehub IP address \usb1.
When I try to mount the drive in linux on my Raspberry PI however, it asks for a password. I have tried the homhub admin password but this doesn't work.
I know that there is no permissions problem with the drive or PI because I was able to mount the same drive using the same mount command on the same Raspberry PI using the Homehub 3. The problem only occured when I upgraded from homehub 3 to homehub 4.
Any ideas?

Quite a bit of the old Speedtouch coding probably remains from the earlier home hubs, so you try "Administrator" (capital A) and a blank password, or use BT as the password.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.
