"Volume Fails To Mount" Error

I have Leopard 10.5.8 and am trying to connect to a Windows Vista share via SMB. The two systems can communicate and authenticate without issue. After using Finder's Go To Server and connecting via SMB, I am prompted for a username and password. Once given, the Vista machine authenticates and presents me with a list of shared folders to chose from. At this point, when I select a folder, Leopard immediately returns with the "Volume Fails To Mount" error and I am returned to the list of shares after closing the dialog box. Thinking it might be an issue with Finder, I found and downloaded an application, AutomountMaker. Its results were the same. I can connect from the Vista machine to Leopard with no issues whatsoever, so I know the machines are working together. I have been unable to find any explanation for this error message nor how to correct the issue. I would appreciate it if anyone can offer some ideas.
As a bit of additional information, I have another machine that is running Windows 7 and I was able to connect to a share on its drive from Leopard without a problem.

A volume failed to mount/Operation cannot be completed

We bought a MacBook on the weekend. Our Apple concierge insisted that we can keep our music, videos and photos on our Windows XP desktop and "share" the files on the Mac--in other words, we can pull down what we need to edit or save on the Mac as need be.
We've set up the shared directories on the Windows machine, renamed the Workgroup to match the Mac and disabled the firewall. We've "connected to server" using Finder and can see the two shared directories we've set up.
But when I click on either one of them, I get an error message: "A volume failed to mount. The volume "Mac" could not be mounted."
After some time of being on the network, I see a Shared directory in Finder with my PC. If I click on the icon, the title bar says: "Connected as: Guest". The window displays the same two directories as above but when I click on one or the other I get an error message: "The operation cannot be completed because the original item for "Mac" cannot be found."
I've called Apple technical support and the agent's response was: I don't think you can do that. Just copy your files to the Mac using DVDs.
Any ideas? We don't want to have to transfer a lifetime of photos, video and music to our laptop--we want to use the XP desktop as our hub.

I'm having the same trouble. From an Intel Mac Mini running 10.5.3 I've been able to access smb shares fine on an old PC running XP pro. These are shared volumes on external drives on the PC. I can still access them fine from an old PowerBook G4 running 10.5.3, but while I can see computers on the network, if I try to connect to a share on the computer I get the message "the operation cannot be completed because the original item for <share name> cannot be found". If I try to mount it via a shortcut, I get the message "A volume failed to mount. The volume <share name> could not be mounted.
In the console, I'm seeing things like:
6/2/08 10:45:01 PM com.apple.coreservicesd[58] NOTE: Using non-mach-based version of client -> server communication, via direct function calls.
but I don't know if that has anything to do with this or not.
Has anyone heard of a fix for this?
Thanks,
Mark

WD mycloud fehler 004 : Data volume failed to mount

Hallo, Seit einiger zeit habe ich nurnoch eine rote LED und kein zugriff auf meine WD Mycloud 2TB ins Mycloud daschboard komme ich noch sporadisch. zeigt aber fehler 004 Haupsächlich hatte ich die mycloud als speicher für fotos genutzt, die natürlich nirgendwo anderst gespeichert sindKomme ich irgendwie wieder an meine Fotos ?? DankeMatthias

Hast Du mal über das Dashboard "nur System" auf Werkseinstellungen zurück gesetzt? Wenn es dann icht geht, kannst Du den Support kontaktieren. Die werden Dir aber vermutlich nicht dabei helfen Deine Daten wiederzubekommen, sondern bestenfalls ein neues/repariertes Gerät ohne Deine Daten senden. Ansonsten hatte hier jemand das gleiche Problem lösen können:http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud/Data-volume-failed-to-mount/td-p/631497Versuchen kannst Du es: This is "my" solution, may not work for everyone. But it would seem that datablocks would corrupt when power is abruptly cut to the drive. SSH must be enabled for this to work. 1. Log onto the drive, root and welc0me are the default username/password combo.2. Make sure your paritions are intact. # parted -l will tell you this.3. Type # mke2fs -n /dev/sda4. This will get you the filesystem, but more importantly at the end give you the superblock backup locations by block location.4. Pick one, then enter this command. e2fsck -b blocknumber /dev/sda4 It will look for bad blocks and ask for your confirmation to continue/ignore then write over any corrupted ones. Yes to ignore, yes to rewrite. It will do up to five passes of diagnostics, prompting if it finds anything out of the ordinary such as file countes and errant inodes. I answered yes to everything. When it is complete it will either report "Killed" or a summary. Type # reboot and let the drive rebuild its library. 30-ish minutes later (depending on how much data you had on it) you should have access to your files.

Matshita UJ-816 Superdrive: Blank CD-R / DVD-R fail to mount; Error Code 13

Greetings all,
*deep breath* This will be a long question, but I want to be thorough and informative. Sorry.
My machine is a 1Ghz 12" PB with a Matshita DVD-R UJ-816 DXJ3 Superdrive. It's basically worked fine for reading & burning all common brands of data, video, or audio CD-R & DVD-R media using Finder, iTunes, or iDVD--until now. As recently as 2 weeks ago, I successfully burned an Audio CD with iTunes (although I did get a "could not verify disc" error at the very end, the disc still plays fine).
As of last night, I can suddenly no longer mount blank CD-Rs or DVD-Rs. The same problem manifests for both in Finder: upon insertion, the standard "Choose Action" dialog box appears. When I select "Open Finder", the disc immediately ejects, and I get "Sorry, the operation could not be completed becuase an unexpected error occurred (Error Code 13)".
If, on insertion, I choose to open iTunes instead of Finder, the disc does not eject immediately, but does eject as soon as I start a new burn from iTunes.
The drive still reads and mounts burned CD-Rs and burned DVD-Rs, as well as commercial discs. Otherwise, .DMG mount fine, as do flash drives.
Here's a list of fixes I've tried thus far, which I culled from these and other forums:
- Disc Utility: Repair Permissions
- "zapped" PRAM
- reset PMU
- Delete:
/System/Library/Extension.kextcache
/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernalcaches (folder)
- downloaded 'Panther Cache Cleaner' & did a 'Medium Cache Cleaning'
on all Local, System, All Users Caches
- Open Firmware (cmd-option-O-F at boot-up), entered the
following commands:
set-defaults
reset-nvram
eject-cd (just for the **** of it)
reset-all
- Created a new Admin account and tried to mount a disc from there (I already had 2 accounts on my machine, both of which are Admin, but just to try)....no luck.
The only thing I know of that I HAVEN'T tried yet is a laser-cleaning disc, but I'm wary of that, since they're apparently not recommended by Apple for slot-loading drives...?
Meanwhile, there were two other issues that just manifested, which I wouldn't have thought related except that all of it happened around the same time:
1.) The latest Software Update wouldn't install. After downloading, I got
"The update 'XXXXX' [e.g. iTunes, Quicktime, whatev] could not be verified and expanded correctly. Make sure you have permission to write to /private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate, then try again."
I was able to solve this in Terminal (n00b that I am) using info from:
<http://www.cybmed.com/macinblog/2004/02/software_update.html>
2.) The latest Virex 7.5 "eUpdate failed", and "try again" was no help.
I solved this by just manually d/l-ing the DAT update from:
<http://www.mcafee.com/apps/downloads/security_updates/virex.asp?region=us&segme nt=smb>.
Keep in mind that I haven't installed any new software or hardware or made any system changes recently to explain this confluence of malfunctions. Those other issues could have been coincidence, but who knows?
As you might guess, I'm well out of warranty. Furthermore, I've been reading other horror stories here from people who shelled out for a new drive, only for it to go bad just like the first one--so I really hope it doesn't have to come to that.
So, suffice it to say I'm getting quite frustrated and desperate. If anyone has further suggestions or ideas for my drive problem, I'd really appreciate it.
- cgp
PS
Is it just me, or is it ironic how the drive manufacturer has "sh*t" right in the middle of the name?
12" Powerbook G4 1GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9) Superdrive: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-816 Rev. DXJ3

Without going into a huge disertation, on this let me just say you are not the first and won't be the last that has had issues with the Matshita 816.
I did find a work around, that I will explain.
If you do a lot of burning your drive stores everything in cache files and then all of a sudden will start giving you an error message.
I found running 3 different utilitys, I run them 1 time a week need to or not and haven't got any errors since.

These all three do similar thihgs but some do different things.
Now lets talk media.
I have had the same problems everyone else has had burning 1X and 2X with some of the poor media out there.
After doing a little leg work and trying a ton of different media I have found that Maxell 16X DVD-R will burn at 1X through 16X and works very well.
Be sure to read the packaging and it will tell you this. I opt to use the 3 packs with the individual Jewel cases.(Much Better Quality).

So You try those 3 free and shareware programs and go spend 4 dollars on the Maxell discs and see if that doesn't solve your problem. I sure did mine.

Volume failed

I have a MacBook Air and use an external 500GB hard disk for extra storage. I plugged the USB cable in and the disk can be read from in "Finder", but the I cannot copy a file to it...I checked the INFO and found out it is now Read Only...I went to the Disk Utility and tried the Verify Disk command...received the following message "Verify Volume Failed: Invalid request".

Not sure what you mean by using plain text. Actually last night I gave up on the ethernet connection. So i plugged the ethernet back into my PC and then all the sudden my PC shows up under Network on my Mac LOL. I have no clue why it worked. So I was transfering files over my wireless network which was painfully slow.. it was like 1MB/sec.. shouldn't it be a lot faster than that? I let it run the transfer over night and woke up this morning and saw that an error occurred.. ugh. Plus my PC disappeared from my Network connections. Now I can't get it to show up again in my Network.. this is just so frustrating. I'm getting that same Volume cannot be mounted error again.

Downloaded safari 3.2.1 leopard, and failed to mount every time

I was trying to reach my mail by mobileme and suddenly I can't view the mail, never. It says when i just start the mail, tha i need to upgrade to safari 3.2, I downloaded it from the mac page, 5 times, and every time APPEARS.... FAILED TO MOUNT, ERROR -4960

Your problem would seem to be that you need to upgrade your version of Mac OS X, since Safari 3.2 requires you to be running 10.5.5 or higher, which you're not doing. You should download and install the 10.5.5 Combo Update or the 10.5.6 Combo Update (your choice).
If you choose the 10.5.5 Combo Update, then you can download and install the Safari 3.2 update; the 10.5.6 Combo Update already includes it. Be sure to repair permissions before you install either one, and again after you're finished. And update your profile so it's accurate.

Drives Fail to Mount

After upgrade, my other hard drives are failing to mount, although they are present and Disk Utility sees them fine. Permissions are fine. Cannot even boot from a CD (anything on the IDE Bus).
This happens on two PowerMac G4's (one was cloned from the other) so, I know it is not the hardware.

I realise this might be related to my problem?

A non-working /Volumes fails to mount anything. Booting from the DVD works however (running on an Intel mini).

Fix - Journaled partition fails to mount (journal magic error)

Before trying to repair or recover a 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)' disk or partition that fails to mount in the Finder, check whether it is just the journal file that is corrupted. If the partition appears in Disk Utility, the fix is to turn off Journaling. If the partition can now be mounted and your files are present, the problem is solved and journaling can be reenabled.
To confirm a problem with the journal search for console error messages with "journal magic" that occur when tring to mount the partition.
In Disk Utility select the partition that will not mount, hold the Option key and select 'Disable Journaling' in the File menu drop down. It will take a few seconds to complete. Now mount the partition using the Mount button or the File menu. To turn journaling back on (recreating a clean journal file), select Enable Journaling from the File menu or the green toolbar button. (This can also be done through Terminal with the diskutil command. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/12838806#12838806 and search on "journal magic" for details.)
I spent two days trying to recover my data from an external drive. Neither Disk Utility or Disk Warrior 4.4 was able to repair this problem. DU said the partition could not be repaired and DW failed with an "insufficient memory error (2154)". Of course your problem could be a more sever corruption, or the disk does not appear at all in DU, but this is easy to try first.
Hope this is helpful.

Let me be more specific
W2000 SP4 server, MacBook client, trying to mount shared volume thru SMB
-on the same subnet (i.e. lappy next to the server on the same switch) both mount_smbfs and smbclient work OK
-from home smbclient is working, mount_smbfs does not (Err -36)
-from home my wife can mount the shared volume thru Network Neighbours on her XP notebook
-it does not seem to be TCP/IP related - all comp can make FTP or VNC to the server verywhere
-err log of mount_smbfs is "negotiate phase failed: syserr Operation timed out in the console", no idea is there a way to verbose mount_smbfs
-smb.conf looks basic...secure passwords=enable, no nsmb.conf
-W2000 SP4 sever is all default secure policies, running FTP server w/o any issues.
So is there a key on server...or the client which I have to tweak?
Thank you.

Time Machine failing to mount backup volume

Hi
I set up a network shared drive (afp) and successfully used it for Time Machine backup from one of my Macs.
However, from my other Mac, when I turn on TM and choose the network drive, nothing happens -- in the TM preference pane the disk doesn't get selected and the message remains "Choose Backup Disk...". In the console I get the following:
20/5/08 4:39:13 PM System Preferences[185] FSMountServerVolumeSync received error: -36
20/5/08 4:39:13 PM System Preferences[185] Failed to mount url: afp://;AUTH=No%20User%[email protected]/500GB%20Network%20Storage
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Here's the solution:
During the backup attempt Time Machine creates the bundle image on the share. This is called <computer’s name>_<string>.sparsebundle (by the way, string is the MAC address of the local en0 device without colons). You should keep the exact name in mind (e.g. by copy & paste or by looking in Console or by constructing it yourself from computer’s name and MAC address).
Afterwards you start Disk Utility and create another “sparse bundle disk image” on your local drive. Volume Size should be the designated maximum size of the Time Machine backup (don’t be afraid, only by using the image it will increase in size). Further parameters: Volume Format - Mac OS Extended (Journaled); Partitions - No partition map.
After this use the exact name Time Machine assigned to its bundle image to rename your newly created image (if not already done while creating your own image). Finally you copy the image on the share and manually start a backup via menu bar.
Voilà. Afterwards Time Machine should start the tedious initial backup.

Mount(8) fails with GetMasterBlock Error 2

I am exprirencing a similar problem to those in these two threads:
Bigtime Problems With Volume Mounts
Why isn't UUID working with the mount command/fstab in OS X Lion?
But my problem is with a volume on the local HDD, but not a USB drive. Detail information is described as follows.
My HDD has the following structure:
System volume (mountpoint: /)
Volume 2 (default mountpoint, not in use)
Volume 3 (mountpoint: /Vol4/Vol3)
Volume 4 (mountpoint: /Vol4)
Volume 5 (default mountpoint, not in use)
The mountpoints are configured in /etc/fstab like this:
UUID=<UUID_of_Volume_4> /Vol4 hfs auto
UUID=<UUID_of_Volume_3> /Vol4/Vol3 hfs auto
After boot and login, Volume 3 is never automounted, so I have to mount it manually. However, mount(8) fails to mount it, with the prompt "GetMasterBlock: Error 2 opening UUID=<UUID_of_Volume_3>", while mount_hfs(8) and diskutil(8) do not have this problem. I need to mention that if I unmount Volume 4, I cannot mount it with mount(8), either.
In fact it does not matter which command I use when I mount manually, but it really annoys that Volume 3 is not ready after system boot and user login.
I wonder if there is any way to automount Volume 3 on boot (or on login, it makes no difference to me). Thanks.

I checked the source of mount_hfs(8) and found why mount(8) fails. The command line used by mount(8) is "mount_hfs <some options> <fs_spec> <fs_file>". If I use UUID in /etc/fstab, fs_spec will be in the format of UUID.
However, the function GetMasterBlock in mount_hfs(8) does not support this format. Since it is using open(2), it would expect a real path to device like /dev/disk0s5, and open("UUID=...", some_flag) will certainly fail with ENOENT. That is the meaning of "GetMasterBlock: Error 2 opening UUID=...".
The real mounting process in mount_hfs(8) is done by calling mount(2). mount_hfs(8) defines a variable "args" of type struct hfs_mount_args, and then sets args.fspec to "UUID=...". According to the header file hfs/hfs_mount.h, args.fspec should be the "block special device to mount". Since mounting never succeeds, I can conclude that the valid value of args.fspec should be a real path to device, but not a UUID.
As a verification, I substituted "UUID=..." with "/dev/disk0s5" in /etc/fstab. This time mount(8) succeeded!
Err, but after I restarted my MBP, Volume 3 gets auto mounted at the default mount point, that is, /Volumes/Vol3. It seems that OS X does not respect the entry order in /etc/fstab or use mount(8) during the boot process, but uses its own mechanism (maybe diskutil(8) or something else) to mount the partitions.

OES2sp2 miggui Failed to mount volume

Trying to migrate NW65SP8 (DS8.8.4) to OES2sp2.

SLP shows both servers, they are on the same network as each other, and the firewall is turned off.
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing the mount failure or what error 1008 might be?

ncpmount uses udp as the default. Add the option -o tcp to the ncpmount
command then mount should work.

if there is an existing connection to the same tree, nwmap does not ask
for user name. Use the command "nwconnections" to check the existing
connections. Use nwlogout to logout the connection. check
/var/opt/novell/nclmnt/root/ for any stale entries.

You do not need all files for Novel Client. If you want
You can logout all connections using the command "nwlogout -a" and try
the nwmap command again.
"/opt/novell/ncl/bin/nwmap -s 138.37.100.118 -d
/var/opt/novell/migration/cc18/fs/mnt/source/SYS -v SYS"
Looks like the novell client is failed to resolve the IP address. You
can do the following to configure different name resolution methods in
the following way:
Create a file: /etc/opt/novell/ncl/protocol.conf with data.
Name_Resolution_Providers=NCP,SLP,DNS
then restart rcnovfsd deamon using the command "rcnovfsd restart"
do you see any NCP errors in the network packet trace?

Windows Server 2012 Windows Backup failed with following error code '0x8078006B' (Windows Backup failed to create the shared protection point on the source volumes.).

The Volume Shadow Copy service initially was running under the context of System, so we thought that ‘System’ doesn’t have permissions to access network shares.
When the Volume Shadow Copy service was running under the context of System, this was the error logged:
“failed with following error code '0x8078014B' (There was a failure in creating a directory on the backup storage location.).”
Which is likely due to not having permissions to write to the network location.
This is a scheduled backup trying to write to a network location, so we changes the service to run under the context of an account that does have permissions to write to the network share.
  Then the error changed to this:
“failed with following error code '0x8078006B' (Windows Backup failed to create the shared protection point on the source volumes.).”

We aren’t really seeing anything that gives any hint on what the issue is.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

We are trying to back up folders/files from 2 local drives (C: & D:), both of which have only 10% space used, and 100 GB free.
We are attempting to back the files up to a Remote Shared File (and there is 100+ GB free space out there).
  If we try another network location, we receive the exact same error.
This is Windows Server 2012, not running Hyper-V and is a physical server not a VM.
Thank you for the link.

Next I check Shadow Copies details from volume properties (right click on C or other drive then select properties then click on Shadow Copies Tab) and found it is showing the same error code..
From this error it is clear that the issue is inside the registry hive and due to junk hive shadow copies services not able to working properly.
For me the server have two disk we check disk signature at MBR and found the disk signature was.
Signature disk 0 : 9351912b
Signature disk 0 : FDFBE035
But at registry we found lot of nonexistance signature. Which indicate lot of junk valu inside registry.
Now how can we resolve this issue?
It is very simple just delete the registry key “volume” (registry key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\STORAGE\Volume”) and reboot the server it will “Volume” registry hive automatically.
Note:
When you remove registry key it is showing error unable to delete, then please right click on it select permission then take ownership and assign full permission to your login account.
Please be careful when you delete registry key because system can fully crashed if you delete or modify wrong registry key.
Your can take a backup of the registry key by exporting.
