[Solved] fstab problem

Hello,
I want to mount the dvd drive, which is sr0 to the mountpoint /mnt/dvd/
I tried to add this command to fstab:
/dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd auto auto,user,rw 0 0
But when I do so, Arch will go into the emergency mode straight after boot.
Thanks.

Because of the 'auto' option used - this is why the recommendation was to use 'noauto'.
Systemd mounts all the partitions in fstab, it can't know which ones are essential or not unless you tell it. If you lie to it by saying that is an essential filesystem, then mounting the filesystems fails - and many services depend on properly mounted filesystems.

[SOLVED] [no] Problem [at all] with NTFS after switch to systemd

Hi.
I've recently switched to systemd (thanks for this great Wiki page!). All is right except automount of NFTS partions. In old config, I don't have any entry in fstab, but there is a rule for udev:
KERNEL!="sd[a-z][0-9]", GOTO="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"
# Import FS infos
IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p %N"
# Get a label if present, otherwise specify one
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}!="", ENV{dir_name}="%E{ID_FS_LABEL}"
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="", ENV{dir_name}="usbhd-%k"
# Global mount options
ACTION=="add", ENV{mount_options}="relatime"
# Filesystem-specific mount options
#ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="vfat|ntfs", ENV{mount_options}="$env{mount_options},utf8,gid=100,umask=002"
ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="vfat|ntfs", ENV{mount_options}="$env{mount_options},utf8,gid=100,uid=fran,umask=000"
# Mount the device
#ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/mount -o $env{mount_options} /dev/%k /media/%E{dir_name}"
ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/mount -t ntfs-3g -o $env{mount_options} /dev/%k /media/%E{dir_name}"
# Clean up after removal
ACTION=="remove", ENV{dir_name}!="", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /media/%E{dir_name}"
# Exit
LABEL="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"
I think this rule should work with systemd. It seems to work, because:
[root@HermesT rules.d]# systemctl list-units | grep 'media'
media-Almacen.mount loaded active mounted /media/Almacen
media-COMPAQ.mount loaded active mounted /media/COMPAQ
media-SYSTEM.mount loaded active mounted /media/SYSTEM
But:
[root@HermesT media]# ls
ls: cannot access COMPAQ: Transport endpoint is not connected
ls: cannot access Almacen: Transport endpoint is not connected
ls: cannot access SYSTEM: Transport endpoint is not connected
Almacen COMPAQ MIO SYSTEM almacen hdusb usbhd-sda3 usbhd-sda4 usbhd-sdb1 usbhd-sdb2 usbhd-sdb5 usbhd-sdb6 usbhd-sdc1 usbhd-sdc2 usbhd-sdc5 usbhd-sdc6
¿some ideas?
Thanks.

Thanks aking9:
It seems there is no difference whether fstab entry (a very old one, comented a long time ago) is active or not. None of both below helps to solve it.
/dev/sda5 /media/Almacen ntfs-3g defaults,users,umask=002 0 0
#/dev/sda5 /media/Almacen ntfs-3g defaults,users,locale=es_ES.UTF-8,umask=002 0 0
Despite of great work done by Arch team, systemd is an "esoteric" world for me.
Where can I now configure such thing?
Added:
journalctl log for ntfs-3g.
First, fstab with locale (deprecated?). Second fstab with nls. Third, no fstab entry:

[SOLVED] FSTAB and File Permissions

Hi Guru's
I'm a new Arch user migrating from Ubuntu.
I have one hard drive partitioned as follows:
SDA1 NTFS
SDA2 / ext3
SDA3 / swap
SDA4 NTFS
I also have a semi permanent USB Hard Drive and various other USB devices which seem to be mounting fine under autofs. When / if, I solve my fstab problem, I will look into Udev to give these devices static names.
My problem is that no matter what I try, I cannot make the two NTFS drives accessible by a normal user (me). The following is from my current fstab file:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ntfs rw,user,auto,uid=1000,gid=100,sync,umask=000 # my uid and the users group
/dev/sda4 /mnt/sda4 ntfs rw,user,auto,uid=1000,gid=100,sync,umask=000
This is one of dozens of combinations I have tried based on research and "RTFM". I just keep getting more confused. The directory entries show me as the owner, rw permissions and belonging to the user group, the only problem is that I can not write to those partitions as a normal user.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Any suggestions for links that tie in how fstab, autofs, udev and hal work together. I have seen links on all of them, but would like to see a brief overview on how they work together. As you can see, I'm one of those linux noobs.
Thanks
Larry

Hi luca,
Thanks for the link. I made the following changes:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ntfs-3g users,noauto,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0113,dmask=0002,locale=en_PH.utf8 0 0
/dev/sda4 /mnt/sda4 ntfs-3g users,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0113,dmask=0002,locale=en_PH.utf8 0 0
Except for the locale, its working great. I still have to mount sda1 as root, which is probably a good idea for the other OSes partition. If I change it to auto it does mount automatically but thats flirting with danger
On to Udev
Thanks Again
Larry

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

Can anyone help me solve the problem of text displaying very rough on my new ASUS PA279Q display monitor running off my MacBook Pro?

This is regarding a brand new ASUS PA 279Q, 2560 x 1440 IPS monitor. I'm connected via mini display port (into thunderbolt port on MacBook Pro) to display port on ASUS monitor; using cable ASUS included with the monitor. Mid 2012 MacBook Pro…full specs at bottom of this post.
I have resolution set at 2560 x 1440 which is the native resolution according to the ASUS spec. I tried the other resolutions available in my System Preferences and text displayed rough with those settings too. I've tried adjusting contrast, brightness and sharpness via the ASUS control panel and didn't solve the problem. Also tried calibrating via Mac's system preferences/display and that did not improve text display either. All the text on this monitor (no matter what software I launch, Finder, InDesign, Illustrator, MS Word, Excel, VMWare Windows XP, Windows versions of Word, Excel, Acrobat, etc, all are consistently rendering text the same way --- ROUGH and with "HALOS" around each letter.
All point sizes of text and at various scales, display very rough on the screen. (My comparison is the retina display of my MBP and a Thunderbolt…so those two displays are my expectations.) I'm using the same MBP for both a Thunderbolt display (at work) and this ASUS at my home office.
On the ASUS it's not as noticeable when the text is on white backgrounds, but I'm a graphic designer and compose images with text all day everyday. Not to mention the specs on this ASUS PA279Q indicate it's built for the professional so I would expect better text rendering. I haven't even addressed color calibration and balance yet, because that won't matter to me if the text won't display any better than it is now.
I was so hopeful after researching all the specs on this monitor it would be a viable alternative to the glossy display of the Thunderbolt display. (Which, I do love the Thunderbolt display for it's clarity and how it displays crisp, clean text at all sizes. (This ASUS actually displays text decently if I increase the text so each letter is about 4" high. Which is pointless for practical purposes -- that'd be like doing page layout through a microscope!)
I kept holding off on getting a monitor for the home office thinking the Thunderbolt would be updated soon. I'd be sick if I dropped a grand on piece of 2011 technology only to learn a few days later an updated Thunderbolt display hit the market! Not to mention, I'm praying Apple comes out with a less reflective Thunderbolt display. The glare and reflection is the main reason I looked elsewhere for a large monitor; hence my asking for help. Hoping the ASUS text display issue can be worked out. My expectation is for it to display like the MBP retina and Thunderbolt display text. That possible?
Alternatively, I guess I could do the Apple Refurb Thunderbolt at $799. And see if there's a decent aftermarket anti-glare I could stick on it?
Thanks for reading my post. Hope someone can help; offer any suggestions? Words or wisdom?
Has anyone else had similar issues and figured out a resolution? Help!

I uninstalled those two items. It still runs slow on start-up and when opening safari, firefox, iphoto, itunes, etc. It's not snappy like it used to be. Any other ideas? Thanks.

After updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google,yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. How can solve this problem?

after updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google(web ,image,video,map etc),yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. even I cant log out from different sites cz the log out bar is completely disabled. I tried with Firefox 4;5 and 6, same problem exist . I tried by active all add ons for facebook, same problem exist. If I use internet explorer , I don't find such problem with it.
How can I solve this problem?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

How I can solve this problem or manipulate it ports 80,443 are closed by ISP and they don't want to open it

hi,
I see that I have a particulier abonnee of my ISP , which has closed all the ports for security reason and they don't want to open any of it 80,443 ect.
suppose If I want to use Essential server 2012 how I can solve this problem , essential wants domain name whith A record.
I asked DDNS service provider if I lease from them a domain name whith A record would that help to open or manipulate the port 80,443 they said that I have to solve this problem myself . they lease only domain names with dynamic dns records.
so what can be a solution the ISP provider won't open this ports , how I can solve this problem . domain name with ip adres is not helping so what it's go to help?
thanks
johan
h.david

The domain name in this instance is only used for remote access, and is seperate from the active directory domain name.
If your ISP blocks port 80 and 443, and you dont intend to use remote access anyway, the wizard will likely not complete successfully whether you have a valid domain name or not.

If you can solve this problem, then you are a true iPod Classic Genius !

So I have talked to every level at Apple's iPod support, and to list all the things they made me do would exceed the size limit of this message board. They even made me send back my original iPod Classic, and I had to wait for almost 1 month to receive my replacement. Here is a summary of my problem, that they (Apple support) have not been able to solve :
- I have a very extensive iTunes collection - over 77,000 songs. All of them were ripped, using iTunes.
- I use the ID tags extensively - i.e. every field is used, and the comments are filled to the maximum allowed characters.
- I am not able, to synch more than ~ 23,300 songs to any of my two 160 Gb iPod classics - therefore, including my exchanged iPod, this issue shows up on three different iPods.
When synching more than 23,300 songs, my iPods are no longer able to play any songs. In the 'About' menu, the iPod shows the wrong number of songs (i.e. 17,300 instead of 24,000) and a huge amount of 'disk space used' is flagged as 'other' (in orange). When clicking on 'Album' or 'Songs', the iPod shows the message 'No songs found'.
When synching less than 23,300, I am able to resolve this issue by restarting the iPods after synching. However, even when synching less than 23,300 titles, the iPods show the wrong number of songs, right after synching, and the huge amount of 'disk space used' for 'other'. Therefore, I have to restart my iPods every time I synch them.
The same problem occurs when using my old Power Book G4 (OS X 10.4.10), and on my new 2.4 GHz MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5.1).
I am using an external HD to hold my music files, which is directly connected to my USB2 port on either Laptop.
I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes and all the firmware and software is up-to-date.
I have rebuilt my iTunes Library from scratch several times.
I have no problem, playing any of the 77,000+ songs in iTunes.
My assumption is, that there is a size limit for the iTunes library index file on the iPod. Can somebody confirm this theory ?
It seems funny, that the same problem shows up on three different iPods using two different Mac computers.
Does anybody have the same problem ?
Is this an issue that Apple is ignoring ?
Does anybody know, how this can be resolved ?
Thank you very much for your help.!

Hi There,
I have the exact same problem as you. I'm on my third ipod 160gb. All three have had the freezing and resetting problem. Like you my problems only start once I try to sync more than about 20,000 songs, which is around 90gb.
I have a 140gb music library. If I sync 70gb of my library it works fine. If I wipe that and sync the other 70gb it works fine so I know my mp3 files are okay. If I try to upload the whole library it freezes when I try to select any music.
If I'd only wanted to sync half my music library I'd have bought an 80gb ipod.
I thought firmware 1.1 and itunes 7.6 would solve my problem. No. Exact same problem. I contacted apple support. A genuinely helpful guy advised me to rebuild my music library and change my ipod drive letter. With baited breath I did all this, then restored my ipod to start from a clean slate. I synced my library in 10gb chunks... and it froze up around 90gb just like it always does.
What upsets me is the hours I've spent glued to my PC re-syncing music, searching through forums for answers. I'm absolutley pig sick of it. I never had a minutes trouble with any of my other ipods.
Please, please, please apple investigate this problem, it only happens when these ipods are over half full. Please let us have a firmware update that addresses the bugs us folks are complaining about instead of adding new features we'd be grateful for if only our ipods worked in the first place.

Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
Reboot and try again.
If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

IF it is a manufacturing defect and you bought the device from Apple or an authorized Apple retailer, then take it into Apple.
