mount exited with exit code 18

Hey Y'all, I'm trying to mount a USB drive with an NTFS file system on it. I need the drive in a win-7 virtual box instance. Error Dialog is: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 18: Error opening '/dev/sdc1': Read-only file system Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': Read only file system [root@mushroom /]# ls -l /dev/disk/by-id | grep usb lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Mar 17 14:49 usb-TOSHIBA_TOSHIBA_USB_DRV_07082714D41C2837-0:0 -> ../../sdc lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Mar 17 14:49 usb-TOSHIBA_TOSHIBA_USB_DRV_07082714D41C2837-0:0-part1 -> ../../sdc1 [root@mushroom /]# ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/ | grep sdc lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Mar 17 14:49 FDSADV -> ../../sdc1 [root@mushroom /]# ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/ | grep sdc lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Mar 17 14:49 pci-0000:00:10.4-usb-0:7:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> ../../sdc lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Mar 17 14:49 pci-0000:00:10.4-usb-0:7:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0-part1 -> ../../sdc1 [root@mushroom /]# ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | grep sdc lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Mar 17 14:49 6CA0387BA0384E38 -> ../../sdc1 [root@mushroom /]# fdisk -l /dev/sdc Disk /dev/sdc: 32.0 GB, 32027705344 bytes 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 30544 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x05b6fb64 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 1 30544 31277040 7 HPFS/NTFS Any suggestions? -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

Kernel panic after update
by Kwan Lowe 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

Hello all: I just updated yesterday and rebooted when I received this error: compat: exports duplicate symbol pcmcia_loop_typle (owned by kernel) FATAL: Error inserting dm_mod (/lib/modules/2.6.32.-358.2.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64/kernel/drivers/md/dm-mod.ko): Invalid module format compat: exports duplicate symbol pcmcia_loop_tuple (owned by kernel) It is a centos-plus update however. Is this the correct forum to discuss issues with the plus repo? Thanks, Kwan

moderate rant un updates
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

So, another admin I work with rolled out most (but not kernel) updates to 6.4... but including xorg. I log out the end of the day, and I'm hosed - no X. Now, my not-two-year-old workstation has an nvidia card, and I'd installed kmod-nvidia from elrepo. I figured I'd fix my problem by finishing the upgrade and rebooting. Nope. I try to upgrade kmod-nvidia from elrepo. Anyone got any good explanations as to why they'd put kmod-nvidia-310.40 in the repo, with the previous version not obvious... AND NOT HAVE THE *REQUIRED* nvidia-x11-drv-310.40 in there? Why not wait until both pieces could be uploaded, since kmod-nividia WILL NOT INSTALL without the other...? I then stupidly uninstalled the previous kmod-nvidia & nvidia-x11-drv, hoping it would allow a good install. Nope. Found the proprietary installer on the NVidia site, and I'm up. <rant, snort> On a related note, does anyone have a link to a howto build the NVidia proprietary driver on a kernel that's *not* running, so we could prebuild it before the reboot? I see there are options in the script, but no examples. Also, is dkms coming in, or deprecated? mark

Lockups with kernel-2.6.32-358.0.1.el6.i686
by Ian Pilcher 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

I updated my home server with the 6.4 CR packages, and I've experienced 3 or 4 hard lockups since. The server is a fanless VIA C7 "CentaurHauls" system with a 1GHz CPU underclocked to 800MHz and 1GB of RAM. It has a dual-port Intel 82546GB NIC in its single PCI slot. (It also has an on-board Realtek RTL-8110SC/8169SC NIC that is plugged in, but doesn't currently have an IP address configured.) This server provides a number of services -- DNS, DHCP, routing between VLANs, DLNA media server, CUPS, etc. Most importantly, it runs Asterisk and manages all of the phones in the house. There's absolutely nothing in the logs related to the lockup. The system simply becomes totally unresponsive, to the point that the console cursor stops blinking. A hard reset is required to bring it back. kernel-2.6.32-279.22.1.el6.i686 seems to be completely stable. I don't really expect to be able to figure this out, but I thought I'd post here to see if anyone else is experiencing anything like this with this kernel. Thanks! -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno(a)gmail.com Sometimes there's nothing left to do but crash and burn...or die trying. ========================================================================

There are three more like that. Yes, kernel "358". the "359" was a typo. And... the kernel panic lines were transcribed for a photo I took of the screen after the failed boot. On second look I see that the version is 2.6.32-358.0.1.el6.x86_64. So let's start again. Kernel panic - Not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Pid: 1, comm: init not tainted: 2.6.32-358.0.1.el6.x86_64 #1 After yum upgrade --enablerepo=epel on two of five machines, one of which is the host for the three VM's that succeeded and the one that failed, just as the host. I have a screen shot of that VM's boot failure, but I don't know the proper way to include it in a post. I've uninstalled that kernel and ran yum upgrade again, it still fails on that kernel, on both the host and the VM. I suppose the good thing is that it happened on a VM guest that is not critical, so I don't have to experiment with the host that has four important guests running on it. Any ideas? Emmett

Two efforts currently underway are getting a status like page online, that also shows recent history ( ref: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2013-March/009099.html ) and getting the Linux test project content included in the regular test suite that we run ( ref: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/ and http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2013-March/009099.html ) How can you help ?

Maybe you'll end up using the CentOS base and need to build a newer kernel yourself to have the proper driver for that Atheros chip. Since that unit will probably not be an Internet-facing host, you can run a custom kernel without any drawbacks. Since CentOS 6.[34] is running a 2.6.32 kernel, I don't know that I place much belief in this information [0] (see post #4) helping. And this poster's Atheros is an AR5001.

Re: [CentOS] UC OT: A lightweight monitor software

We run ganglia on a 35 node cluster (plus a few odds and ends). It seems pretty lightweight. I've just finished installing the latest versions at home on old slow 32-bit kit and it seems again to be very lightweight. You will need to install libconfuse and RRD though, the former comes as a tarball. You'll need to configure/make/make install and then tell yum to ignore the missing dependency.

Does anyone know any lightweight openosurce soft to do this?? you already have some great answers, but I want to throw in another susggestio : ganglia. Its provided in rpm form at EPEL ( including ganglia-web ), and if you have a trusted network, and multicast is considered ok - you wont need to do any config beyond install, and make 2 config changes in the main /etc/ganglia/gmond.conf file on each of the nodes -- Karanbir Singh, The CentOS Project +44-207-0999389 | http://www.centos.org/ | twitter.com/CentOS GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
