New install fails at checking file system. HELP!

I just installed arch for the first time and followed everything very carefully. They only part that i was heasitant about was where to install the MBR. I installed it on the SDA. not sda 1 or sda2 ect.......i think that is what went wrong but dont know how to fix it.....or it might be something completely different. can someone help?

You may need to reinstall grub afterwords.
i would do that but boot is ext2.....it ooks lke the problem is wth the superblock of root.....any ideas?
Then why did you write this:

Meh, figure out what your problem is before asking for help, and when people ask you for more info, give it.

OS X could not be installed on your computer File system verify or repair failed

Downloaded OS X Yosemite update through Apple Store and attempted to install it on my mom's 2013 21" iMac running OS X 10.9.5.
However, a few minutes into the process I received this message:
OS X could not be installed on your computer
File system verify or repair failed. Quit the installer to restart your computer and try again.
Tried restarting several times to no avail. Ran disk utility and saw:
Invalid node structure.
File system check exit code is 8.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired.
Repair disk button not available for Mac HD, but is available for 1TB Apple HDD. Is there any way to abort the OS X Yosemite installation?

TThe Disk Utility cannot repair the disk it resides on. The way I get around this is to use an external hard disk as my startup disk and run did utility from that. Most time then the primary disk on your iMac can be repaired.

Flash install fails hdutil: attach failed no mountable file systems

I've tried all suggested trouble tips to install the latest Flash 11. Dowload completes but install fails with:

Unbootable Solaris 10 x86 installed on ZFS root file system

Hi all,
I have unbootable Solaris 10 x86 installed on ZFS root file system. on an IDE HDD
The bios keep showing the msg
DISK BOOT FAILURE , PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM BOOT DISK
please note :
1- the HDD is connected properly and recognized by the system
2- GRUB don't show any messages
is there any guide to recover the system , or detail procedure to boot system again
Thanks,,,

It's not clear if this is a recently installed system that is refusing to boot OR if the system was working fine and crashed.
If it's the former, I would suggest you check the BIOS settings to make sure it's booting from the right hard disk. In any case, the Solaris 10 installation should have writting the GRUB stage1 and stage2 blocks to the beginning of the disk.
If the system crashed and is refusing to boot, you can try to boot from a Solaris 10 installation DVD. Choose the single user shell option and see if it can find your system. You should be able to use format/devfsadm/etc to do the actual troubleshooting. If your disk is still responding, try a `zpool import` to see if there is any data that ZFS can recognize (it usually has many backup uberblocks and disk labels scattered around the disk).

"An error occurred creating the application.Check file system permission"

Hi There ,
I am facing a problem in creating a webcenter portal webapplication.
I have followed the steps given in Help topics of Jdeveloper,but after performing all the steps i am getting this error
"An error occurred creating the application.Check file system permission". Kindly help me to get through this error.
Regards
Vivek

Hi Vivek,
I hope this is the problem with permission.you Don't have Admin permission to access those folder.
my Suggestion is
1.use Administrator account(on windows) for develop applications(its give full access to the folder from your system). or
2 open your JDeveloper as Administrator. (just right click on JDeveloper from you shortcuts or from programs run as Administrator)
I hope this will be helpful.
Best Regards

UPON boot up my computor always goes into a "checking file system on C"

UPON boot up my computor always goes into a "checking file system on C". It seems have started since last "Tuesday since the large update.

This is the second part of my message that should stop the checking file system.
Click Start, click All Programs, and then click Accessories.
Right-click Command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
At the window that opens type the following commands, pressing "Enter" after each one, please, note the spaces.
chkntfs /d
chkntfs /c C:
chkntfs /x C:
Reboot the computer, it should go directly into Windows without checking the system.
Please confirm if it starts normally and I need to know if the drive is "Dirty" or not.
Please mark my post as SOLVED if it has resolved your problem. It helps others with similar situations.

The first time I attempted to install ML was on a late 2011 MBP. It ran for three minutes then gave me the error message: Could not install OSX due to an unexpected error. I was using the original ML install app, not a USB or other drive.
After a couple of restarts wiht the same result I saw a message to the effect that the install was trying to close open apps. I closed apps manually a few times to no avail. I shut down instead of restarting then booted into Safe mode (hold down the shift key when starting) and that did it. The install went smoothly after that.
I since installed ML in two iMacs using a cloned copy of the install app on a USB drive. This time I shut down the computers and booted into Safe Mode first and there were no problems.
I don't know if this issue is the one causing you these problems but it is a simple enough solution to try.

Plain user and systemd: dependency failed for local file system

I tried to switch to systemd, but ended up in a maintenance console (Enter root password or Ctrl-D to continue):
Enter password.
journalctl -b as suggested yields "Dependency failed for local file system".
I couldn't find a systemd troubleshooting page in the Wiki. So, can someone point me to such a page? Anyone willing to give some hints?
What I did so far: Did what https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd tells one should do to switch to systemd.
In the boot menu pressed e, moved one down to the line starting with "kernel", pressed e again, and appended init=/bin/systemd.
Somewhere I read that "mkinitcpio -p linux" should be issued to make systemd work. No (positive) effects.
Paul
P.S.: Shouldn't there be a topic "systemd" in "Pacman Upgrades, Packaging & AUR"?

According to the wiki you are supposed to append init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd if you are using the "Mixed systemd/sysvinit/initscripts installation" mode. In all other configurations you should NOT have an init=.... entry since init becomes a symlink to systemd
As far as I know, the init= entry doesn't hurt anything - it just isn't necessary.
EDIT: Of course, it will hurt if the path was wrong...
Also, at least on my system, /bin/systemd symlinks to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd.

CS5 install on case-sensitive file system - can't choose different drive (Mac OS)

I just upgraded my macbook pro to a new drive and 10.6, and chose 'case sensitive' HFSX, 'cause I'm a heavy command line user and wanted the maximum BASH experience.
I'm trying to install the CS5 demo to try some web design tools, and the installer immediately says "Installation to case-sensitive drives is not supported. Please choose a different drive location to install." So case-sensitive drives aren't supported; crappy but fair enough.
The error message leads me to think that I can just choose a non-case-sensitive drive to install to, but I never get a chance to pick one - I click on the installer and it goes straight to the error message.
So - how do I pick a different drive to install to? Am I just an idoit, is there no way to select a different drive, or will it not install on a system that even BOOTS from a c.s. drive, regardless of the format of the drive that CS5 is installed to?
I called the support number, and the poor fellow on the other end suggested I re-download the demo, and if the new download fails call Apple support to report my 'drive error'.
I'm hoping to avoid an entire backup-reformat-restore and lose CLI compatibility just to try some demo software.
ch

That is part of why I would prefer case sensitive by default.   I know some server packages do the folding for you, same as some web servers do not differentiate between 'htm' and 'html' when people type in requests, but most of the time the backend server is going to be case sensitive and it is not safe to assume (or hope) that the service will fix things. Compensating for mistakes is fine, but allowing such silent corruption is not a terribly laudable things and it encourage people be careless.
Every once in a while I do encounter someone submitting some work where their configuration values and file names do not match, and 'well my laptop silently fixes it for me since it does not care' is a poor excuse. And if I sent broken filenames upstream or even worse commit them to be used on a server, that is a pretty significant professional failure.
Back to Adobe specifically, I have been trying the suggestion on poster mentioned in where one installs the Adobe applications to a case insensitive drive then copy over the installed files. This does not quite work out of the box, but for reasons I would be hard pressed to believe are Apple's fault.
For instance the first error I encounter is the inability of Bridge to load:
"@executable_path/../Frameworks/WRServices.framework/Versions/A/WRServices"
When I go look inside the app directories I can see that in Bridge the file has been named 'awrservices', but in Illustrator it is correctly named AWRServices.   So it looks more like a problem in whatever version control they are using. The only way I can picture (which my adminitialy limited knowledge of what I am sure is a large and complex project with all sorts of legacy issues) that the installer toolchain factors in as a problem is if they have mismatches in their own scripts/packaging and have been depending on HFS's bad behavior to hide the problem. I can understand not wanting to invest the time to pay down the technical debt on such an issue, but having such errors in your configuration causes long term headaches.
And I say this as someone who worked on just such a project, moving a software suite that had legacy code stretching back longer than Adobe has existed as a company. This conversion included moving from a case insenstive filesystem to a case sensitive one and yeah, there were lots of problems that the old FAT32 system hid from us, but it really paid off over the long run to fix them rather than try to twist the code to compensate.
Having said that, if the problem is really that they do not want to go update their filenames (in version control or config files), then you can always add folding to your loaders. I have had to do that a few times due to upstream people developing on case insensitive systems and sending data files with incorrect file names. This is an old class of problem, and while I can empathize with the struggles project managers have trying to get approval for paying down technical debt, the problem never gets better on its own and usually gets worse.
Which is why I responded with so much grump to the 'I never needed it' argument since that is exactly the type of customer comment that marketing tends to point to in order to push such things off the schedule. This is the type of thing where the customer does not really know what they want because they are already accustomed to broken behavior and most of the problems are hidden from their immediate view. It is easy to cover up the limitations since modern UI (and their search capabilities) can handle this.
It is not just arcane developers stuff, and it is the same transition that people have made with things like spaces, quotes, and parentheses, where years ago users believed they had no need for them since they were not using them, but they were only not using them because they did not work.   Today try to tell a modern user they can not put (, ", ) or even ' ' in their filenames and they would rightly question why this piece of obvious functionality is not working since today they are used to it working and no longer automatically compensate for it.
I also find it ironic that by default OSX hides a number of file extensions, so from the user's perspective you can have multiple files with the exact same name displayed to them, so you can get display issues where 'foo' is the same as 'foO' if both have .txt, but 'foo' and 'foO' are not the same if one has .txt while the other is .pdf. Add to this confusion cases like 'foo.txt' and 'foo.pdf" both being shortened to 'foo'.

So I requested a offline file system check from diagnose page. That was as off now 23 hours ago, from what I can see, the fs check did not take long, but has been stuck at DEvice software restarting for at least 22 hourse. I use less then 200Gig on it, setup as raid 10.
This device is not 1 month old. I had it freeze on my once already, not while restarting, just froze up. So that is the second time.
Status in the web console said all is fine, I had to go in through ssh and look at the os logs to find out what is happening.
What should I do?
Solved!

Hello CollegeMathieu
Please contact support using the below support links so we can have the issue properly diagnosed. There is a good chance that the unit may have shipped with a defective drive (if it is a diskless model one of your hard disks may be defective). This could be causing the strange firmware behavior.
A couple of things to try :
-power down the unit and re-seat all disks then try booting again to see if there is any change.
-If the above does not work, try swapping disk 1 with any of the other hard disks while powered off and then try booting again.

New Macbook and Linux(ferdora) file system ext3

Hello all.
I am getting a new Macbook.
My home file server runs Fedora Core5 with a file system of ext3.
Will the Mac be able to have read/write access?
I did not know if anyone has any experience with this?
I want to use the mac as my day to day computer but keep much of my files on my home linux box. That way I can keep adding drives.
Also.. under linux I can map a drive or folder to any folder
I want .... so that the network drive appears to be a folder in the file system and not new drive.
Is this possible in the apple world?
Thanks for the insight.
T

I am in the LINUX world.
I am moving to a Apple world just for my "interface" and form factor.
I use notebooks as my primary computer. You cannot beat the form factor and the "cool" factor of the macbook.
Getting linux to work on a laptop with all of different configs is difficult. I have 2 that work but they are not as "slick" as the macbook.
therefore I am planning to use a macbook as my primary computer and have linux (fedora) running on my home based computers, File server, guest computer etc.
Thanks for your help. Samba would work. But I was hoping for a more direct connection and the ability to mount a drive/folder in my mac filesystem. - which I do not know the mac file system at all.
Thanks again. I am off to google somemore... and see what I turn up.

10G Database install on Linux 64bit File system Vs. Automatic Storage

Hi,
I'm installing Oracle 10G on a Dell 2950 server with an Intel 64 bit processor. The operating system is Red Hat Linux 4. It has a hardware RAID.
I've downloaded the Install Guide but I have a question about installing.
I'm confused about the File system vs. Automatic Storage management option. I will be installing on the local system, I will not be using a NAS or SAN.
Under Database Storage Options, the guide says that "Oracle recommends that the file system you choose be separate from the file systems used by the operating system or the Oracle software.".
1. Do I need to do that since I'm already using hardware RAID??
2. Which way is recommended / what do most people do: File system or Automatic Storage managment??
3. For Automatic Storage Management I read that I'd have to create an ASM Disk group that can consist of "a multiple disk device such as a RAID storage array or logical volume. However, in most cases disk groups consist of one or more individual physical disks". Do I need to reconfigure my partitions ??
I just need some input on what I should do since this is my first time installing Oracle on Linux.
Thank you.

Besides documentation there's a step-by-step guide :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/smiley_10gdb_install.html#asm
Many questions should be answered here.

New Kernel - stuck after unmounting file system

Hello,
I upgraded my kernel and I think that since then I'm having problems shuting down and rebooting. I get the screen where all the processes are being closed and when it comes to the "unmounting file system" it stucks.
I have a fairly strightforward system - ext3 for my linux partition and NTFS for my windows, both automaticly mounted, NTFS read only.
After I waited a few times I just have to manually shut down the computer. Not very healthy I believe.
If anyone encountered the problem or has any advice I'd welcome it.
Thank you,
Grey

i have the exact same problem, and it has been like this for a week i tought it was only me but surprises me that its not just me.
the thing is like this when u mount the ntfs filesystem if u dont read from the discs u can umount them but ir u read from them my machine freezes when it comes to the umount command !!
Im just a newbie in linux so i have no idea why this is but i have no problems at all with the reiserfs , ext3 mounts , only the ntfs is screwed up
kernel 2.6.12 , udev 062-1
when i installed from the cd i had no problems at all but , a week ago i formated all and did a ftp install , and i start having this problem.

New install fails to boot

I am having a problem with a new install of arch. The boot goes normally showing all the text as the kernel starts up and stuff but then then stops at the line
[<c140b0d7>] i386_start_kernel +0xd7/0xdf19f/0x74/0x50 #1sk!c13c7f441 0f 84 cc
I really don't know why it's hanging. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

If you haven't put too much work into your install yet, I would just reinstall. You can also boot into a live cd, chroot, and reinstall the kernel (pacman -S kernel26).
