Nfsd refuses re-mount

Hello
I have just installed Arch on two servers, one is hosting with nfsd and the other is connecting to it. Mount works fine until I restart/shutdown the connecting server, after that the nfs server seems to refuse logins from the connecting server and I have to log on to it and restart the nfsd to be able to set up the mounts again.
Does anyone know what to do with this?
Regards

check /var/log/everything.log to see what may be causing the problem.

OS refuses to mount external USB flash drive. Says a piece of OS software is missing.

OS refuses to mount external USB flash drive. Says a piece of OS software is missing. The flash drive (thumb drive) usually lights up but does not go through the flashing on/off that was tyjpical when first inserting it.
I tried an external hard drive and got the same results; that is, no result, as if it wasn't connected. No icon appears on the desktop and no device shows up in the sidebar. It (10.6.8, Mac Pro Duo) had worked perfectly before this, of course.

Hmmmmm,,,,
Disconnected all peripherals. Did a Safe Mode startup and that worked fine. Very limited features, of course.
Started up with the Snow Leopart (10.6.3) disk. Used disk utility to verify permissions and ran disk repair on all three internal HDs. No repairs needed.
Ran Drive Genius and did the same things, as a double-check.
Plugged in the flash drive (thumb drive) and it came up fine (still operating the OS from the Sno-Leop disk).
I wanted to re-start with the disk and bring up the Apple Hardware Test as you suggested. I had lots of kernal panics on a previous machine, a G4 desktop, and has used that at that time (with a 10.2 or 10.4 disk). thought I remembered that you hold the D key down when starting up from the disk and it would open the hardware test, but either I remember wrong or it works different in 10.6 because it was just a normal startup.
How do I get to the Hardware Test on the 10.6 Snow Leopard disk?
Restarted without the disk and the Mac Pro desktop still showed the gray screen with what Apple calls the "prohibitory" sign, the circle with the diagonal line in it.
I decided to load the OS disk onto HD 3 and designate that as the startup disk, which I did and it works fine. The USB flash drive loads properly, opens, etc. just as it should. I haven't yet plugged in the peripherals (scanner, printer, second DVD/CD recorder, tablet, an external drive, or connected to ethernet yet. Will do those one at a time and see if any of them casued a problem.)
Am I right in thinking:
A) HD One might have bad sections. I didn't defrag with Drive Genius (26% fragged) or look for bad blocks, which I'll probably do tonight.
or B) the OS has been slightly corrupted and may need reloading
or C) I have a virus or conflict (though I haven't added anything new lately). I do have the ButtonManager loading problem for Mac. which is talked about on MacRumors site, etc. but the timing of its appearance and this problem don't match.
Apologies for being so wordy; want to get all information that may be helpful. I appreciate your interest.

Thank you for quick response.My DB nodes are up now but there is a little change. I have two nodes called i1 and i2 (RAC environment like i said). i1 used to be the master of i2 but when the power issue arise i2 took over from i1 has the master.

5G iPod periodically refuses to mount

I have a new 80 iPod and a G5. I've only had the iPod for a week, and sometimes it refuses to mount on the desktop. No amount of unplugging and replugging the USB cable causes it to come up. I always end up having to restart, after which it mounts fine. Any idea what's going on?

I have been having the same problem (with my 80GB 5G ipod). I took my ipod in to a mac genious to see if he would have some idea and he just gave me a new one (cause it was within the first week of purchase). At first the new one was great but a few days ago the same problem started happening, so it isn't the ipod that is the problem, it must be something about our USB setups or other devices. I have a USB hub with a few other devices plugged in, including an external hard drive (which i sync my pictures and some movies off of and onto my ipod).

IMac 27" (late 2011), Mountain Lion, Bootcamp, and OSX partition disappearing and refusing to mount

Hey all,
I'm putting this as a question in the discussion forms for bootcamp as I'm not sure where else to put it, but I resolved an issue I was having and having spent all of yesterday and the day before reading through this community and some others looking for answers and mostly seeing "hope you have backups, time to format!" (which to me is not always the best answer), I thought I would put it here for search purposes (with all the key words I had to use) in case anyone else has a similar issue.
My scenario was this:
2011 27" iMac with Mountain Lion installed and Windows 7 installed on a boot camp partition.
1) Haven't been in windows in a while, wanted to play some windows only steam games. Load windows 7. All is well. Have fun. Time to reboot into osx.
2) Reboot using bootcamp toolbar icon.
3) Wander away from computer. Come back to find windows 7 has loaded again. "That's weird", I think. Reboot again, this time hold down option key to select boot device.
4) Discover the only options are the Bootcamp partition and the Recovery partition. OSX "Macintosh HD" partition has disappeared. Huh.
5) Load recovery partition and load disk utility.
6) Review disk utility to discover the Macintosh HD partition shows up in the list, but won't mount. Run verify and repair tools. Errors are as follows: Invalid node structure, invalid key length, invalid record count, etc etc. Running a repair fails - disk utility advises me to back up and erase the drive and that the partition is unrepairable. No offense disk utility, but I think I'll try a few more options first.
7) Purchase DiskWarrior on advice of multiple posters in other threads and general online consensus of it being capable of fixing these sorts of errors. Go through process of loading bootable dvd.
8) Diskwarrior cannot see the Macintosh HD partition. This is bad. Review more threads. Advice is that if diskwarrior can't fix it, hope you have backups and wipe the drive. Likely to be hardware failure. I'm skeptical of hardware failure, because windows is chugging along running fine if I boot into it, and I ran a scan of the windows partition and it came back clean. SMART status is also showing the drive is ok. However, running out of options and starting to lose hope.
9) Follow advice in this support topic: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1417?viewlocale=de_de Both safe mode and disk utility aren't options (safe mode won't work without it seeing the partition) so sounds like fsck is the final option.
10) Start up in Single User Mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492). Run fsck per instructions. It reports back ok.
11) Realize fsck is checking the recovery partition, and not my damaged OSX partition. Realize I don't know anything about unix commands and have no idea how to tell fsck to check a different partition.
12) Learn that I need to find out what the drive id is for the damaged partition. Reboot, load up disk utility, select greyed out "macintosh HD" partition, click info. Write down the id: disk0s2 (likely to be the default for you as well if you have one drive in your imac and a default bootcamp install).
13) Go back into single user mode and type the following (without quotes): "fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk0s2"
14) (Forgot to copy down exactly what it said at this point, but gist of it was that the drive had errors and isnt repairable). Feel like ****, thinking this is unlikely to resolve itself nicely.
15) With nothing to lose, try to force fsck to rebuild the catalog - "fsck_hfs -rc -d /dev/disk0s2" I found this syntax on some forums and can't find the thread again. I have no idea what the -rc and -d do that -fy don't, but if someone can let me know, that'd be cool. Either way, this resulted in something actually happening. Tells me it is "rebuilding catalogue b-tree". Still, finishes with a bunch of errors about improperly linked files, more node errors, etc etc.
16) Retry "fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk0s2". It seems to be doing stuff now, even though there are lots of errors. Continue to re-run fsck using this syntax. Probably ran it 10-15 times. Takes over an hour. Finally, minimal errors being reported.
17) Realize that perhaps I should try Diskwarrior again now, since I've managed to do soemthing to the partition with fsck.
18) Run Diskwarrior from bootable DVD. Success! It now sees the damaged partition. Reports that it has a bunch of damaged crtitical files, and needs to be repaired, but hey, at least it can see it.
19) Let Diskwarrior do its thing, and reboot.
20) Boot from repaired OSX partition. Rejoice. Immediately plug back in the timemachine drive you foolishly unplugged to take away over the holidays and neglected to plug back in before you had commenced work on stuff you didnt want to lose through formatting, which is why you are so desperate to recover files rather than wiping and restoring from time machine backups and avoiding this whole mess.
TL;DR - If Disk Utility and DriveWarrior fail you, try running fsck (using different syntax that apple recommends) as many times as it takes to get the partition to a stage where diskwarrior can see it. All advice I saw for similar questions was to erase, reinstall OSX, and restore from time machine backup. For those of you who are foolish like me and had files that werent time machine'd, or those who operate without, maybe try this.
Hope this helps!

What -rc & -d do.
From: The fsck_hfs manual page.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages /man8/fsck_hfs.8.html
-d      Display debugging information. This option may provide useful information when fsck_hfs cannot repair a damaged file system.
-r      Rebuild the catalog btree. This is synonymous with -Rc.
-R flags Rebuilds the requested btree. The following flags are supported:
                         a       Attribute btree
                         c       Catalog btree
                         e       Extents overflow btree
I had the same problem as you but unfortunately "fsck_hfs -rc -d /dev/disk0s2" is failing saying: "The volume   could not be verified completely." I believe it's supposed to be telling me the partition's name (normally "Macintosh HD") between 'volume' and 'could' because there's 3 spaces in between the words.
"fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk0s2" is failing with the same error.
I tried "fsck_hfs -r -d /dev/disk0s2" since the c appears redundant with a lowercase R. and it again says it cannot be verified completely and adds "volume check failed with error 7". Which unfortunately is not documented on the fsck_hfs man page!
Unfortunately for me, Diskwarrior still can't see my busted Mac OS partition.

Verbatim disk drive historically used only for time machine backups. Recently i added some other media files to use some of available space without partitioning, the disc now refuses to mount in finder despite appearing in disk utility. Repair fails. HELP

Sorry to elaborate a bit more.
I have used time machine since owning my mac book pro with no issues. i keep the timemachine backups on an external hard drive made by Verbatim. This has not external power source.
Recently i decided to use up some of the available space on the external verbatim disk drive to store some movie files which were sitting on my macbook pro.
Therefore i created a new folder outside of the time machine backup folder and stored the movie files in there.
From then on Time machine failed... and a few days later i noticed it was not mounting in 'finder'
Therefore i used disk utility to see if it was recognising it. Which i was. However when i try to repair it the repair process fails.
In disk utility i am presented with 1 TB Samsung HN M10 which has a child called Verbatim HD.
The 1TB Samsung hardware appears fine, but the verbatim disk i am unable to fully verify and fix.
Does this mean i have lost all my back ups?
Have I lost all the media that i put on there?
Is there any way to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated.
didier07...

To summarize: You used an external Verbatim HD for your TM backups. Then, you stored some movie files on the "spare" space on the Verbatim drive. Now, Disk Utility isn't being recognized, and repair is disabled. Your home Samsung drive is working fine, but the Verbatim cannot be verified.
The problem, I believe, is that the external Verbatim drive wasn't partitioned. There should be two partitions: one for TM backups, the other for video. That way, you can perform backups, and still retain some space for video or somesuch.
Frankly, I don't know how to fix this except through the following. (1) Erase the Verbatim drive, (2) Create a new blank space and format it, (3) Make two partitions - one for backup, the other for video. (4) Run TM through one partition, but switch to the other for your videos. The better solution might be to have one dedicated drive (perhaps the Verbatim) for backups, and another dedicated drive for video backups; that way, you'll have plenty of space for expansion.
I hope someone will correct me if I'm incorrect, but I believe you've essentially lost your backups and media. I don't know how you can retrieve that clump of the now-undifferentiated data on the Verbatim drive. To retrieve any lost data, you're going to require another external drive that's larger in capacity, as well as data recovery software; don't expect encouraging results. If you're desperate, there are firms like Drive Savers that can offer a more comprehensive solution - at a cost.
Post if you have questions, or additional concerns!

IMac refuses to mount or eject disk

My iMac 24 inch 2009 has taken a disk in but will not mount or eject it

By "disk" are you referring to a hard disk or a DVD or CD? Please try to be more specific about the problem you are having.

Pegasus R4 refusing to mount on nMP and Mac Mini

Just setting up a nMP that I'd bought a Pegasus R4 for. Mac Pro is great, but the Pegasus R4 doesn't mount. It appears in the System Report as a recognised/named device on the Thunderbolt Bus, but it just doesn't mount/appear on desktop. Promise Utility is installed, and I've run the updater on it, but also doesn't seem to see the drives. I've ran a system re-install (as suggested in this thread : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5480005?start=0&tstart=0), and it made no difference whatsoever.
I then tried the Pegasus with my late 2012 Mac Mini (that I'd just updated to Mavericks), and it's the same story with it - the drive shows up in System Report, but not in Disk Utility, Promise Utility, and it doesn't mount.
I know there have been sleep/reboot issues with the Pegasus mounting on Mavericks, but has anyone solved this problem?
cheers.

Hello,
Yes, you can share your disk drive and screen; you can even control the G4 from the Mini.
The best solution (which costs money) is to purchase Apple's Remote Desktop; the second, (free but not as good) solution is to download a program called Chicken of the VNC (google for it).
Hope this helps!

Mavericks refuses to mount Time Machine partition

Hi there,
Two days ago, my MBP crashed, kernel panicked. Since then, it has not been able to mount my external Time Machine partition. Notice that the external drive has two partitions in it, MBP is happy to mount the other partition, but not the TM one.
I ran Verify Disk and Repair Disk with Disk Utilities First Aid, and everything came back fine "The volume Work Time Machine appears to be OK." But then if I try to mount, I get "The disk "Work Time Machine" could not be mounted.
What can/should I do to mount/recover this?
Thanks!

Launch/Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this command at the prompt:
diskutil list
Press return.
If it sees the disk, note the number of the disk (far left column) you want to mount.
Then, enter copy & paste this command:
mount /dev/(number of disk)
Put in the number no parenthesis.
Press Return.
Also might try
mount force /dev/(number of disk)
And see...

10.4.6 refuses to mount and wrecks other programs

I have never had so much trouble, frustration, anger as trying to get 10.4.6 to work correctly. I have run disk utility till I’m blue in the face from the install disk, ran DiskWarrior 3.0.3 to death, ran TechTool 4.1.1 every utility on it, download fresh copies of the combo 10.4.6 (2X) and reran all the above utilities. Now, when I mount the install disk (10.4.3) and I want to open it to view the contents, it crashes the finder (at least 50X in a row). I opened Tiger Cache Cleaner and did a mid-level level cache cleaning and still can’t view the contents on the install disk because it does nothing but crash the finder. Other CDs and DVDs open so it can’t be the burner (Pioneer internal). I have lost the use of FileMaker Pro 8 ($300 loss) and Spell Checker ($100 loss) and numerous other programs. WHAT IS GOING ON OTHER THAN 10.4.6 IS CRAP?!?!?

I think I have things working. I booted into 10.3.9 which is my back up drive. 10.4.3 disk opens right up. Someone had said that FileMaker Pro crashes if ANY of the fonts are removed from the system library (or /library). I copied the system fonts from the disk back into 10.4.6. (I deleted all the foreign language fonts as I don’t use them and had no problems with 10.3.9 and earlier). Booted back in 10.4.3 update disk and ran Utilities again. Cleaned up a lot of the font permissions. Booted in 10.4.6 and now I can mount and view the contents on the install disk. Also, FileMaker Pro 8 is now working and Spell Checker has fixed itself. I’m wondering if removing any of the system fonts, including the foreign language ones (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc) causes weird strange problems?? Sorry about the venting but I have spent so much time trying to get 10.4.6 to work. Never had any problems from 9.0 on with upgrading.

Two FW800 drives refuse to mount

First sudden Time Machine difficulty with the drives' Read Only status (which is a new issue). Now hours later the drives won't consistently mount.
I've tried zapping PRAM, Permissions Repair (off the internal, and the OS X disc).
Any ideas?

Ah, nevermind. A run of DiskWarrior fixed all issues. I had not been in the habit of DiskWarrioring the TM drives - emphasis on had not.

Leopard sees NTFS as MS-DOS and refuses to mount partition.

As the subject says above i have other NTFS partitions which are accessable via Paragon's Mac NTFS via Mac OS 10.5.2 but after the boot camp install of Vista the Vista partition some how is seen as MS-DOS. Where in the mac's filesystem can i edit manually the entry for the mount list that is make the use a NTFS fs instead of MS-DOS?

Paragon came out with an update a week or two ago, or go with MacFUSE latest + 3G - after you uninstall Paragon.
I don't like to see OS X putting ".DS" and other files on NTFS, and filenames that are legal on OS X with special characters can cause problems for Vista and NTFS.
I would look at Wiki for NTFS. I don't know if Apple can use it (they had the option in beta BootCamp setup but seems to be gone) and Vista now you have to format a drive as Master Boot Record to use MacFUSE to create NTFS, I could not with GPL partition.
Or just convert or create partitions in Vista.

Devices Refuse to Mount

Recently my iPod Shuffle would not mount. I thought it was the latest update of iTunes that had caused this problem, and although its a possibility, I even updated my iPod a few days ago to the latest software which did not change a single thing. Then my keystation 49e piano keyboard failed to power up when connected to both the computer's keyboard and its USB port. Now my external hardrive has failed to mount on top of it all. Is this a preference problem, or maybe a software issue, or is it my eMac? All help is greatly appreciated.

Andy,
Without any firsthand experience using piano keyboards, I doubt they're work reliablly hooked up to the low-powered USB ports on the eMac's keyboard; you'd be better off using a high-powered USB ports, either on the on te ones on the eMac or via a self-powered (has its own power supply) USB hub as opposed to a bus-powered USB hub.
How are you connecting your Shuffle to the eMac? The shuffle's formfactor means it won't plug directly into a USB port on the side of the eMac and the keyboard ports don't provide enough power to run the Shuffle. Are you using a USB extension cable or a USB hub?
Is your external hard drive USB or Firewire?
Check that all cables are fully seated and that there are no visible kinks (suggesting broken wires internally) in any cables.
To reset the ports on the eMac, shut down, remove all peripheral connections from the eMac, and remove the power cord from the side of the eMac to remove the trickle current that's drawn even while off. Wait 30 minutes or more, reattach the power cord and the keyboard/mouse only, and power up. Check Apple System Profiler (in Applications/ Utilities, or via the menu bar's Apple> About This Mac> More Info button) and check the Mac sees the Firewire and USB buses. The attached your peripherals one by one, refreshing ASP between each device added to check it's recognized. If the bus fails after adding a particular device, you know which device or device cable is the suspect.

IDisk refuses to mount

Hey guys,
I deciced to use the MobileMe 60 day trial so i could, well try it out, backup some data, etc..
It was working for a couple of hours and then this morning, a few problems came up:
Problem 1:
i cant access the iDisk in Finder?
All i get is "Your iDisk is unavailible. Make sure you are logged in........" i have made sure im logged in, but nothing.
I have tried the following to NO avail:
Resetting PRAM (No idea why, just did it anyway)
Log in via web interface, change password, log out and in again.
Delete any iDisk data from keychain
Shutdown/Reboot
Login with full address, so: [email protected]
In finder, do: Go-->iDisk-->My iDisk
In finder, do: Go-->iDisk-->Other Users iDisk   [Both of these ask me to login, but present the same error as above.]
Problem 2:
My MacBook seems to unregister itself from MobileMe syncing, i have to manually remove it and re-add it again for it to work, or i get this error "There is already a system with the name "Billy's MacBook" "   Any idea why that is? (Seems to happen only when rebooting/shutting down, if i leave the system on, this doesnt happen.
Any help would be appreciated.
Quick note: I CAN access my iDisk and data via the web interface, but i prefer accessing it in finder.

Disk Images refuse to mount help!

DiskImageMounter seems unable to open any disk images and Disk Utility also has problems opening them Ihave to try three or four times to open them (this is diskimages from any source). What could be causing this? Any suggestions would be welcome, as I have had this probelm since 10.4.3

Create a new account, name it "test" and see if .dmg open correctly in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
If the test account functions normally log back into your regular user account. Then navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences and delete these 3 files:
com.apple.frameworks.diskimages.diskimagesuiagent.plist
com.apple.frameworks.diskimages.plist
com.apple.frameworks.diskimages.uiagent.plist
Then log out and back in or restart. Let us know.
