I've created a link to a folder located on a NTFS partition, in the same HDD where Ubuntu is installed. After rebooting, the link says it's broken (the link shows a lock icon to the lower right and won't work). The NTFS partition is set to Auto-Mount, just like it is answered in .  What could the problem be?

I'm using ubuntu 14.04 LTS. When I start my pc and click on any bookmark from the file manager it shows this error:   Unable to find the requested file. Please check the spelling and try again. Unhandled error message: Error when getting information for file '/media/angel/DOC/edu': No such file or directory   But when I open DOC drive and again clink on the same bookmark it works properly. Can anybody tell me why is this happening and how to solve this issue?

I have a Windows HDD attached to an external docking bay on my Ubuntu System, but the HDD brings up an error message:     Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.   Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': Operation not permitted   The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows   properly, or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option, or   mount the volume read-write with the 'remove_hiberfile' mount option.   For example type on the command line:           mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda5 /media/92441EC8441EAF4B      I am at a loss for exactly how to remove the hiberfile, or even mount it as read-only or read-write. I tried directly copy and pasting that exact command into my terminal, but it said:  mount:only root can do that   I do not know what to do at this point. I do need to get the information off of this drive, but I do not have a computer to put it in. Does anyone know what I should do from here?

Sometimes when I restart my computer, my drives will mount but sometimes they won't (like right now when I'm typing this question out).   Is there an easy way, like a program that can mount them for me? Going in the console, making folders, etc, is NOT what I want. I like how Windows does it where they always mount the drives no matter what.   If there isn't a program how else can I easily mount all drives?

I'm moving all files to a new computer, via an external hard drive. I am certain that broken links will be a concern. What can I do to fix this? Is there a 'Best Practices' kind of way to prevent this problem beforehand? I have many hundreds of .blend files, and of course, I fear losing them.

I have two NTFS partitions that constitute a Windows 7 install. I am running Ubuntu and virtualize that Windows install off the physical disk. While the VM is working it could be disastrous if mount any of those partitions and make changes to them.  How do I prevent Ubuntu from mounting these partitions _at_all_?  Tried something along the lines of  /dev/sda none ntfs,ro 0 0    in /etc/fstab but that just gave me an error..  Thanks!

I am a beginner in Ubuntu. And I have just installed Ubuntu 11.10 in my Dell laptop. When I plugged my WD external hard drive in, it read the first time, but since I have a unlock.exe file (password for the hard drive). So I installed Wine to read it. But it gives me an error. I restart the machine, and plugged the hard drive in again. And it is not recognized anymore. Can anybody help me, please?  Thank you!

I have dual OS (Windows 8 and Ubuntu), when I using Ubuntu, Windows partition Disks are automatically mounted in Explorer. I need to unmount permanently on every boot or permanently. I tried this in Gparted but when reboot it again mounted. Kindly Share your views.

When I installed Ubuntu 12.04, I didn't know how to properly set the mounting points for the partitioned logical drives. So, I just set it randomly. Now when I open the Home folder I cannot see any of the logical drives on the left pane. I tried to change their mounting point but couldn't.  The contents of my fstab file /etc folder is:  # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # &lt;file system&gt; &lt;mount point&gt;   &lt;type&gt;  &lt;options&gt;       &lt;dump&gt;  &lt;pass&gt; proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0 # / was on /dev/sda1 during installation UUID=691fa0bd-350f-4378-b5c7-82d277dd83c2 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1 # /srv was on /dev/sda8 during installation UUID=753d012e-ac3c-42fd-b388-d83115e88d26 /srv            ext4    defaults        0       2 # /tmp was on /dev/sda5 during installation UUID=34d8c35a-7900-4acd-988d-880792849673 /tmp            ext4    defaults        0       2 # /usr was on /dev/sda6 during installation UUID=4f7f4287-5feb-4b2b-86bb-93fe74905149 /usr            ext4    defaults        0       2 # /var was on /dev/sda7 during installation UUID=e2933e36-7906-48ac-b2ac-93500537cd4a /var            ext4    defaults        0       2   My Partitions are mounted at the following locations: /dev/sda5 is mounted at /tmp; /dev/sda6 is mounted at /usr; /dev/sda7 is mounted at /var; /dev/sda8 is mounted at /srv.  If I attempt to change the contents of fstab file, it says that only root can change the contents.  How do I change the mounting points of the partitions such that they show up in the Home folder?

I 've unmounted a disk /dev/vdc1 on my machine, after I format it into xfs file system, I didn't mount it again, either didn't add the adequate line to fstab file.  Now when i want to mount this partition, but I can't access to it: mount: can't find dev/vdc1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab.  So how should I put in fstab file so the system recognizes it again ? the partition was mounted on /Data

I have a Ubuntu 14.04 server that will lock up after an undetermined amount of time when you attempt to tab-auto-complete the path of a CIFS share in the /mnt directory. I mount the share and it seems to work fine for a uncertain amount of time. I can do ls or run du on folders within the mounted share. Then I will go to tab out a folder path and my console locks up. I can start a new session but it will lock as soon as I try to mess with the mounted share; this even happens to other users if I have them try as well. I have no idea why this is happening? I've never seen this issue.

I have 3 partitions: one for Windows 7 (ntfs), one for Ubuntu (ext4) and one just for data (ntfs so both operating systems can see them).  My problem is that I had stored some files on the data partition using Ubuntu and when I booted Windows 7 all that data was gone! After that I couldn't find the files even when using Ubuntu.  My files were simply GONE :(  Is there something I can do in Ubuntu or is it just windows problem?

I have two Ubuntu 16.04.1 servers providing DHCP and DNS services on my network. Today, on one of my servers, I discovered a new filesystem mounted at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. The other server, which is configured almost identically, does not have this filesystem mounted.  Why did this filesystem get mounted?

I'm currently mounting an NTFS partition at startup using the following line in /etc/fstab:  /dev/sda3        /media/data           ntfs      nls=iso8859-1,umask=000   To my Ubuntu 11.10 installation, it looks as if all files and folders are owned by root - and since NTFS doesn't really support the same rights management system anyway, there's no way I can change it after the mount is complete. No matter what I do, ls -l anywhere on the NTFS partition will list every file and folder as owned by root:root.  However, this causes some problems for me. Most notably, some applicaitons running under my account (called tomas) complain about access rights. Also, whenever I try to copy (cp) or move (mv) files from one of my ext3 partitions to the NTFS partition, I get error messages saying  mv: preserving times for `[path to new file]`: Operation not permitted   or, similarly  mv: preserving permissions for ...   Would mounting the partition in my name instead of root help? If so, how do I accomplish that in fstab?    Update:  I have now changed the options according to the suggestions, and arrived at this:  nls=iso8859-1,permissions,users,umask=000,uid=tomas,gid=tomas   ls -l now shows all files owned by me instead of by root, and it seems some of the problems I had before are solved. However, not all of them.  When I start Eclipse, I get an error that a file related to the android-sdk cannot be run: Permission denied. ls -l tells me the following about the file:  -rwxrwxrwx 1 tomas tomas 159620 2011-11-29 14:50 adb*   This looks the way I want it to. But if I try to run it (./adb in a terminal) I also get permission denied errors. But if I run it with sudo, it works (I believe - at least it doesn't give me an error message, but it doesn't give me any output at all, which I think it shouldn't...)  Why is the above file, with execute permissions for anyone, still not executable by anyone else than root? How do I change the way I mount the file system so it is?    Update 2:  OK, I've now come a little bit further. By mounting with these options  nls=iso8859-1,permissions,users,auto   I got all the permissions set the way I expect them to, and chown and chmod actually change settings on the files (at least according to ls -l) =D  BUT my system still behaves in a weird way. The permissions for the adb script file come up as above, but neither I nor Eclipse can run it without "Permission denied" errors. But as far as I can see the file has all the required flags set (o=rwx should be enough, right?). Why doesn't it work?    Update 3  OK, I got everything working on the Ubuntu side, with the following options:  nls=iso8859-1,permissions,users,auto,exec   However, when I try to access files on the partition from Windows, the security settings are all messed up. On all the files (of those few I've examined) a new account called Account Unknown(long GUID) has been added to the list of users, and has full rights. Rigths for most other users are decreased so that I don't have rights to do stuff I expect. Notably "Everyone" does no longer seem to have right to "Traverse folder / execute".  This might be solvable by just selecting the partition and allow Everyone to do anything on the root folder, and then tell it to do it recursively, but I'd rather not as I'm afraid it will take days to complete...

Hey i have dual boot windows and Ubuntu. When i installed ubuntu all Local Disks worked well but when some time past i can not access to local disk D. I have very important files there. I cant access to windows too it is broken. When i try to mount local disk D it shows me the error:     Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sda3: Command-line `mount   "/mnt/94EE82ACEE8285E8"' exited with non-zero exit status 13:   ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error Failed to   calculate free MFT records: Input/output error NTFS is either   inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a   SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows   then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very   important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it   and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.   /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation   for more details.   Can i mount local disk somehow from Ubuntu?

I'm writing a custom automated install using AIF (Arch Installation Framework), and I need to find the filesystem on a partition given a partition.  So far I have this:  grok_partitions () {     local partitions=     for label in `ls /dev/disk/by-label | grep "Arch"`     do         if [ $label == "Arch" ]         then             mount_point="/"         else             IFS="-" read base mount &lt;&lt;&lt; "${label}"             mount_point="/${mount}"         fi          local partition=$(readlink -f /dev/disk/by-label/${label})         local part_no=$(echo ${partition} | grep -Po '\d+')         local fs=$(parted -mls | grep "^${part_no}" | cut -d: -f5)         partitions+="${partition} raw ${label} ${fs};yes;${mount_point};target;no_opts;${label};no_params\n"     done      # do the swap     if [ -e /dev/disk/by-label/swap ]     then         local partition=$(readlink -f /dev/disk/by-label/swap)         partitions+="$partition raw swap swap;yes;no_mountpoint;target;no_opts;swap;no_params"     else         # if there's no labeled swap, use the first one we find         local partition=$(fdisk -l | grep -m1 swap | awk '{ print $1 }')         if [ ! -e $partition ]         then             echo "No swap detected. Giving up."             exit 1         fi         partitions+="$partition raw no_label swap;yes;no_mountpoint;target;no_opts;no_label;no_params"     fi      echo -n ${partitions} }   This worked fine on my machine with only one hard drive, but it failed (obviously) when running in my VM running on a LiveCD (the LiveCD was being picked up as another drive, /dev/sr0).  I've thought of a couple of hacks I could try:   mount $partition; grep $partition /etc/mtab | awk ... use parted -mls, but pull out the partition I care about with clever scripting, then parse as I already do in the scriptt   Is there a better, simpler way of doing this? I already have the partitions I'm interested in, and I only need to find their filesystems (as well as find available swap).

I have a ubuntu in Root directory with separated Home directory. This is all my hard partition. I inserted xp cd to install it but I can't find any hard drive suggestion ! I decided to boot it by Gparted and change the Root directory to NTFS, I formatted it and run xp cd again. I can't find any hard drive too. I don't want to change all partitions because I don't want to lose my data on them. What should I do ?
