Thunar can't automount fixed disks?

Made the switch from Gnome/Compiz to Xfce4/xfwm4, very happy with the speed difference!     Maybe one day I'll give openbox a go, anyways
This computer boots 3 OS's, Windows 7 (same disk) and OSx86 (seperate disk).    Gnome-volume-manager mounted the hfs+ disk and the ntfs partition automatically on boot.     Thunar-volman doesn't seem to.    It does mount my usb keys perfectly.    I googled quite a bit but can't find a clear answer as to whether thunar-volman can mount fixed disks, or seperate partitions automatically.
Yes, I know I can add them to /etc/fstab.     I was just wondering if this is normal behaviour or if something is broken.
Happy Arch user....

    Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.

    Some problems can indeed be fixed this way. But working from Recovery_HD or Disk Warrior DVDs and working in the restricted environment those provide can be difficult. You can literally spend days working on this problem (while your regular work is unavailable) only to discover the old drive is unsalvageable.
    There is no way to know up front whether you are facing a major Hardware failure or a minor software glitch, or something in between. Often you are forced to work from the drive you no longer trust. I continue to recommend you do this work from a different, fully functioning Mac OS X booted from a different drive.
    If you have had the foresight to (as The hatter often recommends) clone your virgin install onto another drive for use in such situations, you will be able to recover from such problems in record time. If not, my previous recommendations stands:
    Buy a new Drive. Or  two. Install Mac OS X from scratch on a new drive, and get your Mac running again. Later, you can use the full power of Mac OS X to attempt to rescue your data, if needed. Then Zero the old drive, to see if it can hold data again reliably.
    If the old drive eventually provides some needed data, and is salvageable, Merry Christmas.

  • [SOLVED]Can't access ntfs disk in thunar

    I am trying to access files from a Windows disk. I mounted it (/dev/sda1) to ~/Windows but, when trying to open it in thunar, I get a permission denied error. How can I access my disk?

    The error that I am getting is this "Time Machine can't use the disk image because it can't be written to."  Any ideas on the fix for this?  When I go to the Time Capsule my Macbook Pro shows that it is locked, I think I did something wrong, but can't figure how to unlock it to see if that fixes it.

    As far as we know, Time Machine cannot write to a disk image. It needs to write directly to the Time Capsule disk.

    As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.

  • Disk Utility can't repair this disk

    I have been having trouble booting. It started when I connected a router to it. It seemed to eat up the free disk space and I only have 77 MB left or something around that.
    Anyway, I tried deleting files with command-s commands, and it worked one time and it freed up 2 GB of space. I restarted the computer and when I tried to start it up, it still got stuck in the gray screen with the whirly thing at the bottom. I checked the space and it was 77MB now.
    I decided to boot from the Install Disk (Snow Leopard 10.6.0).
    I checked Disk Utility first and verified the disk. It came up with the message:
    "Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk .... disk, and restore your backed-up files."
    What should I do now?
    I have the Mac HD volume on backup already so I don't have to do the back up stage.
    Should I erase the disk while I am in Disk Utility?
    And format it to Mac OS Extended Journal?
    And then install the operating system again?
    Thanks.

    To answer your questions, first, some other options...
    If you fill your disk up that far, you are going to have problems. Don't ever do this, 10% is a bare minimum, you may need even more, depending on the size of your disc.
    I have seen before where a disc repair utility couldn't perform its function simply because there was not enough slack space available on the drive. While I have never seen this with disc utility, it is possible that the disc is repairable as-is, if you could just free up a couple more gigs of space first.
    Secondly, you could also try Disk Warrior, or to a lesser extent, Techtool Pro, or even iDefrag. I have personally never had Techtool Pro fix anything that Disk Utility or Disk Warrior couldn't fix, so I hesitate to even mention it, but I have had Disk Warrior and iDefrag clear up problems that Disk Utility either couldn't detect, or couldn't fix.
    If you are still in dire straits, you should re-partition the drive using disk utility. This is the safest route, then go from there.
    good luck!

  • Nas on airport extreme not recognized by time machine. same nas was previously used as time machine backup on different airport extreme. are there any configuration files that i can delete to fix this problem ?

    nas on airport extreme not recognized by time machine. same nas was previously used as time machine backup on different airport extreme. are there any configuration files that i can delete to fix this problem ?

    Time Machine has been working just fine, but in the last week or two it has given up the ghost. I reset the connections to the drive, and it will basically save a few bytes of data and then hang.
    Although Apple originally announced, prior to the release of the first 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBSn), that it would support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks, they removed that option before they did finally release the base station for sale.
    Since then, Apple has posted (as you have noted) that they DO NOT support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks. As far as I know, they have not changed from that position and those who do these backups find that they become corrupted over time. Sorry, but it sounds like you just confirmed that for yourself.
    1) Has one of the recent updates either on the AE (firmware) or OSX disabled this function?
    No. Again, this feature has never been supported by Apple for every generation of AEBSn released.
    2) Are there any changes I can make to get this working again?
    If your data backups are critical to you, then you will want to use a different solution for your Time Machine backup destination drive strategy. I would suggest that you connect your WD My Book directly to your Mac in the mean time.
    Your other options would be to either use a Time Capsule (which interestingly does support TM backups to AirPort Disks) or a non-Apple solution like the Drobo FS or HP MediaSmart server.

  • Macbook pro won't boot and when I tried to back up the hard drive I got "disk utility can't repair this disk backup as many of your files as possible"

    My macbook pro froze and initially would not even recognize the power chord. Now it charges, but will not load up. I opened in in disk utility to try and back it up so that I could take it to apple to have it fixed but I got the message that said "disk utility can't repair this disk backup as many of your files as possible". How do I back up the files???

    Nichelle215,
    you can try the method described on this Apple page, in the “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility” section. (You can skip step 6, since you already know that your disk is irreparable.) Note, however, that this method is not guaranteed to work. Once you get your disk straightened out, you might consider purchasing an external hard disk for use as a Time Machine backup destination, so that a similar problem in the future won’t wipe out the only copy of your files.

  • The screen on my MacBook goes black often. I can still see a faint image of what's on the screen, and can only get it to illuminate by moving it back and forth. What could the issue be? How can it be fixed?

    The startup disk may need repairing ...
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If the disk needs repairing, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.

  • HT1320 My IPOD classic is corrupted.. how can this be fixed?

    My IPOD Classic is corrupted... how can this be fixed?

    You know sometimes these forums miss the obvious. I have an iPod Classic 160Gb, 6th Gen (MC297), Been in use for some time now, over 10,000 albums plus photos/videos etc. Yesterday I was in the process of adding another album (sync) when for no reason that I could fathom became corrupted, as explained on these posts. I had all the error messages (error 1439), I put it into diagnostic mode, the result being that my HDD could not be accessed, so should be replaced.
    Now I tried all the advice here, including attempting to reformat via two different PC's (with iTunes) umpteen times. Until I came across a paragraph within the comments section of a YouTube video on replacing the HDD.
    It said to put the iPod into Disk Mode, first; Reset by holding the menu & centre buttons at same time for 7-10 seconds. Once it reboots immediately hold the centre and Pause/Play buttons, after a few seconds it should display Disk Mode screen.
    Reconnect to PC, when it shows as a drive, right click choose format, default settings, type in name iPod, select start and it should format (mines did), yet I had tried all of the formatting before without success. Once done restart iTunes and you will be taken to the restore iPod option, (it had failed to restore many times before prior to using disk mode), success, just follow prompts, make sure you are connected to the PC that holds your library for re-syncing. iTunes will let you know if you need to change that anyway.
    iPod in the sync process just now and looks to be doing the job, much better that trying to get the case open to replace the HDD that I don't have yet and don't know which type or where to get one. So would advice you folk on here, to get your iPod into 'Disk Mode' especially if you have had the HDD error or unable to restore/format messages.
    Never saw any of this method on Apple support.

  • How to trick SCCM 2012 R2 to use fixed disk

    We have bought a sh-tload of Kingston datatraveler workspace 32gb in order to use them as OS installation media.
    However because of this: "Windows 8 Certification
    requires flash drive manufacturers to configure flash drives as fixed disks. Flash drives configured as fixed disk will show up in Windows Explorer as 'Hard Disk Drives'." - The SCCM task sequence media creator will
    only look for removable media, it will
    not look for fixed drives. So we can't use the USB-drives..
    Any solution?

    When you say DVD drive is not working and cant detect disks, Is the Optical drive listed in Device manager and My computer? Is not reading any specific disks or all kinds of disks ?

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • My ipod classic 80gb shows an error code 1439 can it be fixed

    my ipod classic 80gb shows an error code 1439 can it be fixed or can anyone help please.

    Hey there tomhanson
    How are you?
    Well, I have an iPod Classic, it gave me the error -1436 error and would not restore on iTunes.
    I did the following:
    My Boss (@work) has a fairly old iBook but it has OS-X, so I decided to give it a try and connected my iPod to it.
    The system showed a window telling me that the disk is not MAC formated and needs to be validated prior further action. Snce it is a Mac product, I thought "yeah, go ahead".
    It then opens the disk manager utility for the Mac and showed the disk. It's window has some tabs, one is to verify the disk, so I verified it. Guess what, it had some invalid clusters.
    Then I formatted the iPod to OS-X Plus file system (next tab to the right). After formating the iPod, I "ejected" the iPod and reconnected to my PC. The Windows iTunes found an iPod with Mac file system and asked me to restore it. As I clicked on the "restore" button, I crossed my fingers as this was the last resource I have.
    Finally, after the file extraction was done, it began to restore the iPod!!
    I'm so happy about being able to restore the iPod that I decided to share with all you guys this solution as it is the most usefull, in my opinion.
    Hope you can find someone with an iBook or a desktop Mac, so you can fix yours.
    If it works for you, make sure to share the tip!!
    Kind regards
