Re: HDD Storage Mounted Poorly?

Hi Altair4, I'm confused whether the drive is mounted at /mnt, or is mounted at a subdirectory of mnt/, i.e. mnt/7b479b37-0f01-4a7d-8dec-4c1ba0b7a6c8. Are you advising creating a subdirectory within /mnt, i.e. mnt/Storage to mount the drive? I think this is what AndyMH is advising. [I think it woul...

Re: HDD Storage Mounted Poorly?

If you're asking for an opinion I think it would make way more sense to mount this partition to /mnt/Storage since Storage is the partitions LABEL. If you ever need to do anything in a terminal that needs to reference that mount point it will be far easier with less opportunity to make typos than us...

Re: HDD Storage Mounted Poorly?

From man mount: user Allow an ordinary user to mount the filesystem. The name of the mounting user is written to mtab so that he can unmount the filesystem again. Only the user that mounts the partition can unmount it. The user that mounts the partition via fstab is root so only root can unmount the...

Re: LMDE and NTFS

I'm confused. Your error message states: Filesystem type ntfs3,ntfs not configured in kernel

There is no ntfs3 or ntfs3,ntfs filesystem type. Post the line in /etc/fstab that is trying to mount this partition. It may be just a typo.

Re: SMB access to NAS uses SMB1, but should use SMB2 or SMB3

Regrettably there is no Linux wsdd client outside of KDE and even that is easily broken. That isn't entirely true, wsdd can now act as a client, see 'man wsdd', I just cannot get wsdd to do both at the same time. This is breaking all the rules of this forum but you might be interested in something ...

Re: my HP's samba cannot share its own Public drive

my Dell Linux Box could mount the HP's box using "hp-z220-sff-workstation" as the host, but now on this setup I can only mount it by its IP address. I actually have no idea why that host name works at all but it is likely you are not limited to using an ip address. The 15 character limit ...

Re: my HP's samba cannot share its own Public drive

Regrettably, the Linux hostname is limited to 63 characters. It would be nice if the installer would at least inform the user that the NetBIOS name has a 15 character limit and that by default Linux will make the NetBIOS name = Linux host name but that will never happen. Windows will truncate if the...
