When trying to mount an exfat filesystem, I get the following error:  Error mounting /dev/sda6 at /media/gkp/Backup: Command-line  `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/sda6" "/media/gkp/Backup"'  exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'   Exfat is used on some USB sticks and camera sd cards. What can I do to mount this type of filesystem?

I am trying to mount my ext4 (sdc6) partition from a live usb because that's how I deleted two unused partitions left from a prior install of ubuntu, using GParted. The swap is mounted. However, I can't edit fstab, or find anywhere to click in nautilus to mount sdc6. In the terminal, I get the error: "can't find /dev/sdc6 in fstab". I'm afraid to exit the usb and update grub if that partition isn't mounted. Is there any easy way to do this, or do I have to install gksu or some other editor? Or do I need to mount it as sda6?

So, basically I always format my removable mass storage devices as NTFS by default, but someone told me I was better off using exFAT. Now I've been looking around google, but can't find any good reasons why I should.  Is there anything that exFAT does (better) which NTFS doesn't which is useful when using it for (>4GB) removable mass storage?

I ran these commands:  VBoxManage clonehd d6b9f0a5-98df-48ca-83c8-91a0809ec349 --format RAW Debian.raw sudo dd if=~/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/Debian.raw of=/dev/sda5   When I try to mount the partition, I get this complaint:  EXT4-fs (sda5): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem   Now I know that the VM had an ext4 partition. What did I do wrong?

I'm running a Windows, Mac, Linux tripleboot off of a single SSD, and am now, unsurprisingly, in need of additional storage space in the form of an external hard drive. I want to format my hard drive so that files that can be read and written from all three operating systems.  According to this  from 2009, NTFS can be used on Windows, Mac, and Linux, after installing some drivers.  However, it looks like the , and , so NTFS is no longer a viable solution for Mac OSX.  So the question is, what is the best file system to use today for an external hard drive connected to Windows, Mac, and Linux?  I'm thinking exFAT, since Windows and Mac support it natively, and (Ubuntu) Linux supports it after running sudo apt-get install fuse-exfat.  Are there any limitations I need to consider?

I have a mac that is running a dual boot with OSX and Ubuntu. I am using rEFIT. I just updated my OSX to the new OSX Mavericks, but when i restarted my computer and tried to enter Ubuntu from rEFIT I just got an error message saying error: unknown filesystem.  How can I solve this? Where is the problem, is it GRUB or rEFIT?

I replaced a buggy Windows Vista installation with Ubuntu. All works fine except that the main HD where I had all my files are now inaccessible. Here is the error message I get:   Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error Failed to read NTFS $Bitmap: 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   Is it necessarily a hardware problem? If not, is there a way to repair the HD from Ubuntu?

I have searched around here and with Google, and none of the instructions I have found work with Oneric.  How do install exFAT and mount an exFAT partition in the latest release of Kubuntu?

I have just set up my new system by creating three partitions on a whole hard disk (/boot, /home, swap and /). I saw  article and now I am getting those errors and the system provide me with some options: (I to ignore, S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery).   I am forced to choose skip mounting because I don't know what manual recovery is. Despite the error I get I think that the system boots okay because I can use the system but this error is very annoying.

I could install with an error message "unknown media /ALL". It could not run WPS Office.

I am an infrequent Ubuntu / Linux user, only use it in case of major disaster (in this case Ransom-ware nuclear, but that's another story).  So i booted up another laptop using Ubuntu from a USB-drive; inserted my external ntfs drive, and it gets recognized automatically, but if i try to create a new folder / drive anywhere, the "file manager" interface just closes down, and i have to launch it again (try again, rinse and repeat).  This leads me to guess my ext.drive was mounted in read-only mode by default.  Q1. How / where can i verify it is mounted in read-only mode?  Q2. What's the best way to make it mount in read-write mode?

Is it possible to mount a VirtualBox drive image (.vdi) so the contents can be viewed in Nautilus etc.?  I have a windows 2000 .vdi which won't boot ("inaccessible boot device") after upgrading from VirtualBox 2.x to 3.1.6. I believe the IDE drive details have changed and that all I need to do is access the internal drive image and edit the Windows boot.ini to point to the new location.

When I started Ubuntu, I got this error: The disk drive for /tmp is not ready yet or is not present! I tried skipping mounting, but it came up like a command prompt.  Please help me.

I used mount to show mounted drives, I don't want to see the not so interesting ones (i.e. non-physical). So I used to have a script mnt that did:  mount | grep -Ev 'type (proc|sysfs|tmpfs|devpts) '   under Ubuntu 8.04 and showed me ext3 and reiserfs mount points only. That line is actually commented out and now I use (for Ubuntu 12.04):  mount | grep -Ev 'type (proc|sysfs|tmpfs|devpts|debugfs|rpc_pipefs|nfsd|securityfs|fusectl|devtmpfs) '   to only show my ext4 and zfs partitions (I dropped using reiserfs).  Now I am preparing for Ubuntu 14.04 and the script has to be extended again (cgroup,pstore). Is there a better way to do this without having to extend the script? I am only interested in physical discs that are mounted and mounted network drives (nfs,cifs).

I have a fresh Lucid Lynx (Ubuntu 10.04) running on a laptop. where I defined the filesystems as:   mount point / on ext4 (46 Gb) mount point /home on jfs (63 GB) swap as 3 Gb   I left the machine over night to do some task, without AC power supply. next day in the morning I found it on standby, task completed, but filesystem was not reachable. it gave me I/O error  it seems that there is a problem with jfs and standby.  anyways, to avoid any hassle, I want to move this mount point from jfs format to ext4.  can I do this without losing data and without the need to place the data in a temporary location until transformation is done?  sorry to mention that, but I recall back in the windows days, we would change a FAT16 to FAT32 or a FAT32 to NTFS without having to lose the data. I hope this is available on Linux.  Update The /home filesystem was xfs not jfs, and it seems there is a bug with this filesystem for some reason, I had to re-install the OS twice until I ended up with ext4 for the entire /   However, as a conclusion, it seems that there is no way to make a conversion

When I go to Gparted and try to format my pendrive to exfat,the option is greyed out and I am not able to select it however I can choose other file systems such as ext4,ntfs,etc.  Why is that ?

I want to format my USB stick to ext4 and just use as I would any other typical non-linux format drive (FAT32, exFAT, NTFS).   That is to say, I want to be able to plug the usb stick into any of my linux machines, and read/write to it without needing to adjust permissions, like doing chmod or chown stuff.  I would prefer to use GUI partition software like GParted, rather than command-line commands, though I welcome any solution!  I'm sure a post like this is duplicate flag heaven for some, but after browsing 6~10 SO and forum posts from google, I didn't find a simple solution to my question. Seemed like everything was about adjusting permissions on a per-user basis. Maybe you just cannot use ext4 drives with the same brainless convenience as NTFS.
