System can't see virtio drives

I have VDS and need more available space, so my task is to connect new virtual drives.
Hoster support said that this is not possible using Arch, but I can't believe. KVM wiki sayd, that it's fine on arch.
to start modules I wrote in mkinitcpio these modules in regenerated new initramfs iso (and booted, using it). also I write modules in rc.conf.
In conclusion, lsmod sayd that needed modules works: virtio virtio_blk virtio_ring virtio_pci.
But, still nothing.
also:
# fdisk -l
can't see any /vdX
# dmesg | grep virtio
  - empty
# ls /dev/vdX
- empty
# cat /proc/partitions
- no /vdX
#zgrep VIRTIO /proc/config.gz
sayd that all virtio options are "m"
Maybe I need to install some additional packages? Or I must to compile new kernel? I tryed to do this with options "y" for all virtios but a have no space (maybe you know how many I need, 1 gb or 4.. 20?..)
Google sayd nothing:( only kvm wiki sayd that I must activate modules (I do this).
Thanks;)

Kobakira, welcome, has the firmware been updated.
Also you could try starting up with the Option key held down, this will tell you if the drive is available as a startup disk. Another thing you might try is starting up with the X key down, this will force the iMac to seek the OS X boot volume.

  • Can't see network drive attached to AirPort

    Hi All
    I'm a newbie Mac user (just got my MacBook Pro last Thursday, in fact-- OS X 10.5.7). While I've got most of my issues doped out, I'm running into a problem connecting to a network drive that's plugged directly into my AirPort Extreme. I have three Windows systems (running XP and Vista) that can attach to the drive with no problem, but I can't figure out how to mount the drive under OS X.
    If I use the Finder and select the router under "Shared", the Finder just spins with the message "Connecting..." for ages until it times out.
    If I try to attach to a server, that doesn't work-- I've tried all the protocols in various flavors. Everything times out. I do get the message that the server or password is incorrect, but I never see a prompt for a password, so I am not sure what's going on there.
    In short, I'm stumped. When I open up the AirPort utility, and view the disk, the drive is attached-- it has a name, and it gives the correct statistics on used/free space. When I go to File Sharing, the checkbox for Enable File Sharing is clicked.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Well, I'm stumped. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support-- they ran through the scenarios I had already been through, and they came up with nothing useful. I ended up taking a second 160gb HD that was formatted NTFS, and formatted if for HFS+. This drive was visible through Finder. I took the same drive, formatted it for FAT32 and, surprise, surprise, NOTHING VISIBLE.
    The "just works" philosophy is OK, but it's bunk when it comes to network drive support. I'm doubting the wisdom of this purchase now.
    $2500 for a computer that can't connect to a network drive that can be seen by an $500 Dell laptop?
    The issue simply seems to be this: put a FAT32 drive on another box, and it can be shared by Macs and Windows boxes.
    Put that same FAT32 box on an AirPort Express, and my Mac is BLIND. It can't see the drive.

  • Adobe premiere Locate can't see google drive folders?

    Hi,
    For some reason Adobe premiere's new Locate feature can't see google drive folders. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Cheers,

    I found this workaround, adding the google drive folder as a new library (works in windows 7 too):

  • Ultra 10 OBP can't see SCSI drives

    I'm trying to get my Ultra 10 to boot off a SCSI drive. I've tried several controllers (SYM21002, SYM21003, and another 53c896 card) and several drives, but probe-scsi-all returns nothing. If I boot off an install CD (the CD drive is still IDE), I can see the drives and install an OS on them, but when I reboot it still can't see the drives at the ok prompt. I've tried OBP 3.31 and 3.29 with the same results in both. Any idea how I can get it to boot off a SCSI drive? Or, failing that, is it possible to boot a bootloader on an IDE drive, which then boots off the SCSI drive?

    you say you can install with scsi drives, but on restart it won't boot? what is the U10 looking for? did you try boot disk ? the U10 may be looking to boot off the network or somewhere off..
    I don't recognize the chip numbers... are they supported by Sun? I have only used Sun-branded scsi cards--- 375-0005 comes to mind...

    Unless there's a disk in there, you won't see it.

  • I can't see hard drive attached to Airport extreme from Windows XP computer

    I have a Windows XP computer on my network. I can no longer see the network hard drive attached to Airport Extreme from the XP computer. I can see it with all the MACs on my network and all the Windows 7 computers. I can connect to the internet with the Windows XP computer. I previously had no problem seeing the network hard drive attached to the airport extreme from the XP computer and one day it just disappeared. I have deleted and reinstalled Bonjour, not just Bonjour print services. I can print to a network printer that is not attached to the Airport Extreme. Help!

  • Time Machine over network: can't see hard drive

    I've connected an external firewire 800 drive to our server and then chosen it in Server Preference as a drive that users can backup to, however when I try to select it in the user's Time Machine prefs I can't see the drive. Any ideas?

    Is no one else having this problem?

  • Can't see NAS drives

    I'm setting up the D-Link DNS-343 on a MacBook, 10.5.5. I also run WinXP via VM Fusion. Once I got the two drives past hanging at 94% format (deleted cookies per FAQ), I could access the NAS via the web UI from both the Mac and PC sides, but I can't see the drives in Finder or Windows Explorer. I've played with the settings, updated the firmware, etc., but still nothing. Any ideas?

    It has to be mounted as a network drive. It just won't show up on the Desktop. Use the Connect to Server selection from the Finder's Go menu. Give the IP address to the NAS that was provided in the manual.

  • Can't see Shared Drives

    I upgraded my July 07 MacBook Pro to Leopard and now I can't see the shared drives connected to my G4 iMac that I just used to back up my files prior to upgrading. Any ideas? Thanks.

    My shared drives disappeared too - turned out it was something I did under the "security" tab of system preferences. I set it to block incomming communication, next thing I knew my shared drives disappeared. When I set it back to "allow..." they appeared again.
    just a suggestion

  • Server Admin can't see hard drive with user's Sites folder

    I have a G5 XServer with two hard drives running 10.4.10 co-located at an ISP. I had recently brought it home and did a clean install of the OS and put new accounts (mainly to host multiple web sites) on it that were different than before, and this time I installed the operating system on the second hard drive leaving the original in place.
    Everything works fine EXCEPT that when using +Server Admin+ to set the Web Sites to point to the various home directories (click web, click settings, click Site, Click 'plus' to add a new site or 'pencil' to edit one, then click '...' to select the folder), +Server Admin+ *cannot see the new home directories* on the hard disk I am currently using. It can only see the old directories on the old hard drive.
    (Note: I observed the same issue when trying to set the FTP root directory.)
    How can I get +Server Admin+ to look at files on the other hard drive (the one I am booting from)?

    Just type in the path to the directory you want to use. You don't have to select it via the File dialog.

    That didn't work either.
    It turns out that both hard disks were named the same (I don't know how I screwed that up), so I went in with Disk Utility and changed one of the names.

  • Disk Warrior can't see startup drive

    I have a 2008 iMac running Mountain Lion and have not been able to start up from the internal hard drive since a system crash. Following the advice on these forums, I tried Disk Utility, but it could not repair the problems it found with the disk. I purchased Disk Warrior and booted from its CD, but it cannot see the startup disk either.  Previously, I had been able to boot from the Mountain Lion recovery partition and see the afflicted drive from another machine in Disk Utility when connected in Firewire target disk mode. But having tried both since running Disk Warrior, the affected drive no longer shows up. Is there anything else I can do to try to get Disk Warrior to see the drive and repair/recover files from it?
    Note: I have a recent Time Machine backup but wanted to exhaust all my options trying to work on the startup drive before testing that TM backup on new hardware. (As an aside, is it possible to restore the TM backup to another volume—that is, not the affected drive, assuming that's impossible, but another partition of an external drive—and boot from it to check and see if there any problems with the backup? (My fear is that whatever caused the initial crash and problems will persist in the Time Machine backup, but perhaps I am being paranoid.)
    Thanks for any advice.

    Thanks for the tip. I figured out that as the drive is not connected via USB, then of course it won't show in Disk Utility. And the Lacie Cloudbox I bought only has Ethernet.
    Lacie do not supply any software to format the drive as far as I can see. The set-up utility they used to ship doesn't exist any more.

  • New D20, Windows 7/Vista can't see hard drives - also 2nd CPU questions

    I just got a new D20 and aded a few 1TB Samsung hard drives to the WD one that came with it.  I can see the drives fine in both the Marvell BIOS RAID setup utility (even ran a Verify Disk on them with no errors) and from the ThinkStation BIOS and even from a Linux-based utility that I used to partition and format them with.  But neither Windows 7 RC nor Vista x64 Ultimate can see any of the drives and when I try to load drivers fro the driver CD that came with it, they aren't recognized or loaded.  Probably there is a simply BIOS setting I've screwed up but it has me stumped.  Any clues?
    Also the machine came with one dual-core E5502 CPU.  If I want to add a 2nd CPU does it also have to be the same as the 1st or can I add a quad-core E5504 or even a higher speed quad-core as long as it is a LGA1366? Does it have to be a Xeon or would an i7 work?
    Many thanks in advance!

    welcome to the forum!
    sounds like that D20 arrived in one piece.
    the latest marvell driver for vista 64 can be found here.   i suggest trying that first to make sure this isn't a driver issue.   also check that you have the intel chipset and matrix storage drivers installed.   they can be found here.
    check the BIOS and see if the AHCI mode is set to SATA RAID.   i can't remember the exact path to this setting right now but can reboot and write it down if you get lost.
    on the processor, the second one does have to match the first unless you replace the first completely and install two new chips.   an i7 might work as a single processor in socket 0 (this is untested so i cannot confirm).   however, you'll need two xeons if you want to run two physical processors.

    How old is this drive. I greater than 5 years I'd say it would seem like a hardware problem with the drive.

  • Can't see external drive for movie import

    Hi gang,
    I have all of my iMovie projects on an external hard drive plugged directly by Firewire 2 into my MacPro.  When I run iMovie 9.09, I get a beautiful sorted list of all of my projects by year.  When I run iMovie 10.0.5., I can't even see the external drive that contains my movies. On the left column of the new iMovie, I have the choices of iPhoto Library, All Events, All Projects, and an iMovie Library that is empty.
    How can I see my external drive with all of my long years of iMovie work on it in the new version of iMovie?
    Cheers!

    Disk formatting and disk access security are two different thing.
    An Airport disk can be formatted as HFS+ and both Macs and PCs will be able to access it.
    Regarding "Security" which you setup on the Airport Extreme there are two option:
    a) "Secure Disks: With accounts": Here each user on your network will only be able to see and access the folders and files they uploaded to the Airport disk themselves. The disk (as hardware) is shared but data is not shared.
    b) "With a disk password": Here all users on your network will be able to see and access all folders and files on the Airport disk.
    I hope this makes things a little more clear.

  • Can't See External Drive Data

    Hi,
    I'm brand new to Macs but loving my new iMac and Airport Extreme with one problem... I keep all my music on an External drive and I can't see anything on the drive. It is plugged into an Airport Extreme through a USB hub. I plugged it into the Airport directly and got same result. Printers plugged into the hub work fine.
    If I go into the Airport Utility, I can see the that the hard drive exists and appears to have the sharing settings correct (according to other posts here). I can't see it from my PC's either. If I plug the drive into a PC, the other PC's can see all the music. The external drive is a Maxtor 200 gig One Touch.
    Any suggestions?
