[SOLVED] Cannot "mount swap"

Hi
I cannot mount my swap partition! It stopped working some time ago (I don't know when exactly, I just saw this now).
When I try to mount it manually, I receive this error message: "Unknown filesystem type 'swap'".
Here is my fstab (I'm synchronized with the stable repo):
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

Thanks in advance.

Wow even I accidentally disabled swap somehow and I tried everything, but it would not work ( http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=52252 ) . But, changing the line in fstab worked like a charm. Thanks!
(Maybe this is some sort of a bug? )

I have a Gen 2 connected right now, it most definitely uses UMS. I have a Gen 4 at home that also uses UMS. I've got to assume your Gen 3 would as well.
Does it go to the "USB Drive Mode" screen when you plug it in?
Edit: Do remember having an issue one time where it would not go into USB mode. Rebooting the Kindle fixed it. On my Gen 2, you would go to the Home screen, then hit menu and settings, hit menu again and there's an option for "Restart".

[SOLVED] Cannot mount usb (as normal user)

Hello
I'm facing this problem for the first time, but can't tell if it came after an update or an unexpected reboot (light went out).
I'm using latest kde (4.9.2?), and the latest kernel,
Linux gantz 3.6.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 5 11:57:22 CET 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
When I plug any usb device, kde ask me what to do. When trying to mount it, either from the kde "mount" plasmoid or from dolphin, I get a "Not authorized" error. Mounting via cli with sudo works fine.
After doing some research, I found that I need to be in the storage group in order to be able to mount, so I checked, and I was already on the storage group. Next.
More research sent me to lots of pages talking abour .xinitrc, wich doesn't exists (on my home, at least). Also tons of pages where talking about somethin like "exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch session-manager" (I login via kdm), but the ck-launch-session is not found on my computer either.
So i'm stucked right now, and don't know how to proceed, any clues? Thanks

pd @Raynman: removing myself from the storage group did not change anything.
that's not a fix, it's a crappy workaround. You are not supposed to touch these files, they will be overwritten on an upgrade. My guess is that you are simply not using systemd and therefore you are not in an active logind session. You have to boot with systemd, as mentioned in the news. Everything should then just work out of the box.

[SOLVED] cannot mount vfat usb

When I plug in my usb device an error is shown:
Error mounting /dev/sdc1 at /run/media/toni/BE40-9797: Command-line `mount -t "vfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=100,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush" "/dev/sdc1" "/run/media/toni/BE40-9797"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
How can I solve this?

So, why did the reboot work ? (asked rhetorically)
Unlike some other famous operating systems,it is not likely that you machine had reached some unstable state requiring a restart to put it into a known state.
In your case, you probably updated the kernel. When this happens, the kernel modules on disk for the running kernel are replaced by those for the new kernel. After you did the upgrade, you plugged in your USB device. The kernel looked for its modules, but they were gone -- replaced by those for the new kernel. After rebooting, you are now running the kernel that matches the installed modules.

[SOLVED] Cannot mount ntfs drive

Every time I try to mount my Windows 7 hdd, I receive an error:
fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy
The commands I used to try to mount all resulted in the same error:
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs
sudo mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/C0940E83940E7BE2 /mnt/ntfs
Switching to root also did not remedy the error. Putting the entry in fstab does not mount it at boot, giving the same error.
fdisk -l reveals the following:

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
EDIT: Solution:
As it turns out, a couple years ago, I had a mirrored RAID. Even when got rid of the RAID, got a new drive, reformatted and installed Arch, my secondary, NTFS drive would not mount.
Here is exactly what fixed it:
Issuing the command `cat /proc/mdstat` shows all RAID arrays. Mine showed the following:
Personalities :
md127 : inactive sdb[1](S)
488386496 blocks
`sudo mdadm --stop /dev/md127` stopped the array.
`sudo mdadm --remove /dev/md127` removed the array.
new output of `cat /proc/mdstat`
Personalities :
unused devices: <none>
`sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/1` worked.

[SOLVED]Cannot mount partitions with PCMANFM --no longer an issue

Hi,
I have searched and searched and pulling my hair out on this issue. I am using PCMANFM .9.10 on an LXDE install using the Arch x86 iso. My HD contains several linux partitions and a FAT32 partition.
I am not able to mount these partitions in PCMANFM. I am able to mount my usb flash drive
When trying to mount a partition in PCMANFM I get a "not authorized to perform operation" error message.
Today, June 11 I partially rewrote this due to the lack of response I am getting on this problem.
1. did a reinstall of Arch & LXDE today. I've done two or three installs. dbus is in daemons in /etc/rc.conf
2. initially the partition icons did not show up
3. then, I installed gvfs and added 55-my-conf.pkla in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/
4. With that the partition icons show up in PCMANFM
5. But I still get the "not authorized to perform operation" message
The 55-my-conf.pkla has this content:

I changed <action id="org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount-system-internal">
mount a system-internal disk at <allow_active> from "auth_admin_keep" to "yes".
Still didn't work!
Either this is a bug or I have a permission problem somewhere.
Can you please advise how to do this or point me to a recent tutorial to be able to auto mount other partitions not using /etc/fstab? Some of the older posts refer to hal or other package that have been deprecated.
Thanks
Edit: latest. It seems that I must mount the desired partition from the terminal. example: $sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
then can edit it from PCMANFM by going to / and then /mnt. Apparently I do not have to manually unmount.

Cannot mount certain partitions: /dev/ entries do not exist

Hello all. Strange problem here. First I will describe my disk layout. I triple boot Gentoo, Arch, and FreeBSD. My partitions look like this:
/dev/hda = MAXTOR 6L040J2, ATA DISK drive 40GB
hda1 = shared '/boot' partition
hda2 = gentoo '/' partition
hda3 = gentoo '/usr/' partition
hda4 = gentoo '/home' partition
/dev/hdb = SAMSUNG SP0802N, ATA DISK drive 80GB
hdb1 = shared music partition mounted as /home/music on both Gentoo and Arch
hdb2 = shared swap partition
hdb3 = FreeBSD partition
hdb4 = logical Partition
hdb5 = archlinux '/' partition
hdb6 = shared video partition mounted as /home/music/video on both Gentoo and Arch
Now both gentoo and arch use devfs. From gentoo I can see all partitions in the /dev directory and mount accordingly, however, from Arch I cannot mount my gentoo partitions on /dev/hda, and in fact they do not even exist in the /dev directory. Only /dev/hda1 is visible (the shared boot partition which holds all my kernels regardless of distro).
Running fdisk -l /dev/hda from arch gives me this puzzling output:
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40027029504 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4866 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 4111 33021576 55 EZ-Drive
So it would seem that fdisk thinks that /dev/hda1 takes up the entire drive, and is labeled as 'EZ-Drive'?!?!?!?!?!? I can assure you that running the same command from gentoo gives me the correct partitions and disklabels ie: id 83 Linux
Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on here? This isn't really a big deal at this point, just an interesting annoyance that I would like to discover the cause of.
TIA

I don't know how it could be that the kernels interpret the partition table differently, and I'm certainly not sure that this is what's going on. That's why I suggested loading Arch with the Gentoo kernel. I wouldn't expect the system to be its true self, but merely satesfy the curiosity by checking whether it would see the right partitions (a.k.a. trouble-shooting).
It shouldn't be a problem to test this, unless your Arch root uses a file system that is not built into your Gentoo kernel. If for instance hdb5 is reiserfs and your 2.4 kernel has that as a module, you're probably out of luck regarding my suggestion. If this is the case, you could also try the Arch 2.4 kernel. It can coexist with your current kernel because the kernel packages for the two trees have different names.
pacman -S kernel
Hope this helps,

This might also be helpful.

*If you're talking 'bout Audio CDs, then you can't normally mount them, since they don't have a filesystem on them.
For Audio CDs, you have these options:
1) Play it directly with your favorite music player. Mplayer and VLC also support CD playback.
2) Rip the Tracks using one of the various rippers. Ex. rubyripper is such a tool based on cdparanoia. It comes with both CLI and GTK2 interfaces. The gui script (/usr/bin/rrip_gui) from the repos contains a typo at line 594, you can just edit it to
if @cd.md.varArtists.empty? ; @varCheckbox.active = false end
3) "Mount" the CD using cddfs, a tool that enables you to mount Audio CDs through FUSE. It's in AUR. Once installed, read /usr/share/doc/cddfs/README for instructions.

ORA-01102: cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode

Hello,
I am working with an Oracle VM Template: Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 WebCenter (x86 32-bit). In this template exists an Oracle database (version: 10.2.0.3.0), I am trying to do something operation (ie create a new user, query a system template, etc) but I can't because I have ORA-01102 error.

Resetting ...
PS: I have recently reset the NVRAM on this machine not sure if there are any env settings I should have setup in OBP (I reset HOST ID and MAC-ADDRESS).

disk@0,0:a is slice/partition 0
disk@0,0:b is slice/partition 1
I'm not sure where you told it your swap slice was going to be. Looks like slice 1. Mini-root gets installed in slice 1 and then the install begins from there.
In the future, if you just "boot cdrom" from disk 1 of 2 you won't run into these issues.

10.9: cannot mount westerndigital drive usb3 external, but in 10.8 yes

please why is my text shown on white background? can i change this?
i could not mount my 2 external wd drives (mypassport 2,5" 2TB)
(USB3.0) since install of 10.9 on my 2 brand new macs. (imac 27" i5 late 2013 and mbair i7 mid 2013)
before, with 10.8 it worked fine!
i thought the wd drive is faulty, so i got a new one by warranty, and sent the "old" back. it took only 5 days to get the swap by wd.
i could not mount the new drive either under 10.9
but today i installed techtool pro 7.0.2, did nothing but a reboot and after that, i plugged it into my imac with 10.9, it mounted correctly on my imac, the first time ever! and showed a techtool symbol as drive symbol instead of the orange colored usb symbol.
appearantly techtool pro 7.0.2 installed something into 10.9 which helps the system mount discs?
- i never did lock the drive with the wd security app
- before that, i tried to remove all wd related stuff and uninstalled every single wd app and driver, still no mount !
- before that, apple disctools under 10.9 did not show the drives in the left column, as no other harddisc app did. (drive genius)
- i can mount both drives on the old mbair with 10.8, my wife´s mac
- wd drive utilites would show the disc, but not mount, if i tried to format it, it showed an error after 1min: cannot format disc,
as it cannot be mounted. (or so..)
- now, after install of techtool pro 7.0.2, when i plug the drive into my imac, it is mounted correctly, but there is
always another volume mounted by default "wd drive unlock volume" which says "your wd drive is not locked, so you can not unlock it)
weird?
i still cannot mount the wd drive on my new macbook air with 10.9,
etre check lists as difference:
imac:
Kernel Extensions:
com.wdc.driver.USB.64.10.9 (1.0.1 - SDK 10.9) (today mount possible for the first time since weeks)
macbook air:
no wd driver at all (and no mount possible)
any idea?
thanks

first, you should try reinstalling 10.5.4. download the [combo update|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1054com boupdate.html] and run it. If that doesn't fix the issue, you can use full system restore from TM to go back to a time before the troubles started. to do that boot from the leopard install dvd, once past the language screen go to the Utilities menu at the top and choose "restore from backup".

[solved] Cannot install grub on Arch installation!

I'm trying to install Arch on my new Laptop. Almost everything works fine until I come to the point where GRUB will be installed (to the MBR). Installaton fails and I'm told to have a look on tty5 for error messages. Doing so I read:
grub> root (hd0,3)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
grub> setup (hd0)
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
grub> quit
AnyIdeas what I could do?
By the way, I'm installing the 64Bit Version 0.8 on a computer that currently runs "bad, bad Vista". I'm going to kill Vista anyway, sooner or later, but I wanted to have a try on getting them both on one computer. Might that be a problem?

The layout preset by the factory is the following:
sda1: some sort of windows configuration backup blabla
sda2: Vista System
then there is roughly one gigabyte of free space then
sda4: which was a preset ntfs partition for data
I decided to turn 4 in arch root partition, leaving everyting else unchanged for an instance (no additional swap/boot partition).
By the way, I tried to install Grub directly on partition 4 (it is an ext3 now), too afterwards, which failed with the same error.

Can ssh into client iMac but cannot mount home directory ...

I've got a server running 10.4.11 and a bunch of client iMacs (10.5.n). If I ssh into a client iMac it lets me log in but cannot mount my home directory (which lives on the server). Obviously ssh is getting my credentials from the server but isn't getting (or cannot get) the information to mount my disk. If I log in through the gui on the client it all works fine. I suspect this is less of an error and more of a design. Is there a way to get the clients to mount my home when logging in with ssh? If not then Apple presumably has a reason for disallowing this behaviour. Is there a way around this? Perhaps with mount_afp?
We want to be able to log into many client iMacs at once to run computations on them. Eventually we want to do this on a suite of XServes and XGrid. This is all very easy with linux and nfs and I was expecting the same sort of ability through OS X. I know that I can export everything from the server with nfs (though that may not solve my problem) but I only have the one system and multiple users and I can't really experiment while they are connected.
Suggestions? Comments? If there are obvious examples of this elsewhere please point me toward them.

Well it's never worked that way for me. Do you actually use this method to log in?
I've gone through all of the server logs, watching what gets added as I log on to a client. I don't see anything there that suggests it is even attempting to mount the home directory. I also watched on the client and didn't see any errors. When I ssh into a client I see the following message on the terminal, "Could not chdir to home directory /Network/Servers/server.some.place/Volumes/R1/UsersR1/username: Unknown error: 118" This suggests that the client knows where my home should be but doesn't know how to mount it.
I have enabled the basic setup on my server. User accounts have Home URLs like "afp://server.some.place/UsersR1/username" and Full Paths like "/Network/Servers/server.some.place/Volumes/R1/UsersR1" (R1 is a RAID disk). UsersR1 has been made into a Share Point and Server Admin tells me that the disk "will be automatically mounted using the AFP protocol as /Network/Servers/R1 on client machines". This part doesn't seem to be true as when I log into a client through the GUI the actual path that is mounted as my home is /Network/Servers/server.some.place/R1" (pwd in my home directory returns /Network/Servers/server.some.place/Volumes/R1/UsersR1/username which is a actually rather inconvenient).
Under the Advanced tab in the Workgroup Manager, Accounts pane, I've got "Allow simultaneous login on managed computers". This seems to work but also seems only to apply to the GUI, that is I can log onto several clients at once.
How do I ask a client machine what home directory information it is getting from the server for any particular user? Is there some setup on the client machines that will enable automatic mounting of homes through ssh? On the clients, the Directory Utility, which I have used to connect the client to a Directory Server, has a Mounts pane which allows me to "Edit automatic NFS mounts for this computer". I am not exporting any NFS from the server, but perhaps this is the way to make it work?
Perhaps what I want to requires Kerberos? I don't have that enabled.
When I have done this on a cluster of linux machines I exported the home directory from the server with NFS (exportfs) and then, using NIS and automount on the clients it "just worked". It was very simple. If it is supposed to work with Macs and OS X, it may be simple but it's not obvious.

B-tree error, cannot mount Lion partition, but can mount bootcamp partition. Unable to reformat because it won't mount. How do I reformat?

Hi everyone:
So earlier today I was taking a screen shot with (command+shift+4) and right when I took it, the spinning wheelcame up on the screen. It was there for a long time, so I decided to turn off my macbook by holding down thepower button. When I turned it on, it stayed at the grey apple logo with the loading circle underneath.
I turned it off again, and this time I started it into the Recovery HD. I ran a disk verify and it said my disk was corrupt and needed to be repaired. I tried to repair it and it said it could not be repaired. Next, I tried to erase the hard drive and it still didn't work because it cannot mount the hard drive.
The thing that baffles me is that I have 2 partitions on my hard drive, one for mac, the other for windows bootcamp and the windows hard drive is able to be mounted. I tried to completely delete the entire hard drive, but it won't let me. What are the next steps I should take into solving this problem? Any/All help is appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like the drive may be faulty or have suffered a problem. Bummer mate, but it happens.
Disk Utility won't let you do a complete erase? Probably not what you want to do anyway as you'd lose your bootcamp partition.
I would recommend you replace the drive and re-install OS X. Once they get faulty like this you're into a greatly increased risk window. You'll need to have a bootable DVD / USB stick of Lion or a RecoveryHD USB created by the Lion Recovery Assistant.
If the MBP is under warranty or you have Applecare you could get the drive replaced under warranty.
To retrieve your files and Apps etc you can restore from a backup, or if you don't have one then you could get a sata enclosure for the old drive and attach it as an external drive then attempt to copy the content from it once you've re-installed. Time Machine backups will make this much easier for you though.
For bootcamp, you're going to need a 3rd party program such as Winclone (www.twocanoes.com) to allow you to take an image of the bootcamp partition and restore it to the new bootcamp partition on the new drive.
I can heartily recommend the Seagate Momentus XT 750GB hybrid drive (ST750LX003) if you're going for a replacement. You won't believe the difference in performance it provides.
Good luck!
