HDD

[Trevante]

It's because you probably have a large F drive (bigger than 137GB). Try running magic, I think Shallax released a patch to recognize large F drives.

[Devastator]

unless it was released today i have the latest magic version and yes my hard drive is 200 gigs lerge.

[Devastator]

so i ran magic and sync again and it didnt help at all. anything lse i can do??

[Devastator]

so is there anything else i can do to access my f drive or even be able to save directly to either drives at all?

[iccaros]

do a df -k adn see if they are mounted.. if not see you r/etc/fstab adn mount them... try man mount.. to see how the mount command works

[Devastator]

sorry but im not much of a linux user. how do you do all this??

[iccaros]

ok .. here we go...


open a command prompt.. (terminal)
type:

su -
<enter your root password> hint: its xbox if you did not change it.

type:
df -k

see if you see anything that looks like /mnt/fatx/f
if not .. we need to look at your fstab..

good thing you are on gentoox and we can use the interweb from inside it.

type cat /etc/fstab

past the output to teh fourm.. I do not have a xbox handy (all are compiling in one big massiave love fest right now...
so I'll need to see how your dives are listed..

[iccaros]

ok I got one xbox to stop playing compile tag...

to mount F do this

mount -t fatx /dev/hda55 /mnt/fatx/f -o rw,umask=0,exec


that should work

now on mine I get a bunckh of ????????????????????..?????????????///56?>>>/

when I list F so maybe gentoox has problems reading F

[iccaros]

this is waht I see on my F

I cant get to any other files on F except those made by gentoox and when I use other means to get to F (note not gentoox) I see all the files except teh one gentoox put their..

hmmmmmm...

e is fine.. thought..must check my other boxes

[Devastator]

ok so i ran df -k and got this

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/loop/0 4095868 2371464 1724404 58% /
df: `/cdrom': No such file or directory

/dev/hda55 187498640 157696704 29801936 85% /mnt/fatx/f

then i ran cat /etc/fstab and got this

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/loop/0 / reiserfs defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1

/dev/hda55 /mnt/fatx/f fatx defaults,umask=0000 0 0
/mnt/fatx/f/swap none swap sw 0 0

but i still cant access the f drive it just exits. so i tried mounting the drive again and got this

mount: /dev/hda55 already mounted or /mnt/fatx/f busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda55 is already mounted on /mnt/fatx/f
anything else i can do to fix this?

[iccaros]

try umount /mnt/fatx/f
then try mounting it.

[Devastator]

cant do it says umount: /mnt/fatx/f: device is busy. any other ideas??

[iccaros]

yes but I would like some other people to tell mne if this sounds right??

first some questions.. when you tpe cd /mnt/fatx/f
do you get an error?
type ls
what do you see?


if you see something with no error message. type this

echo "this is a test" >> test
then cat test.. do you see your message??

if so but you do not see other stuff put on the drive. I think I knwo what is wrong.

how did you format F

I did not spacificly format F on mine so I don't think mine is formatted correctly. So I need to test this . i'll have a ideal tomarrow.

[Devastator]

ok, no problems running cd /mnt/fatx/f with no error. With ls I get that same file error you were getting and it also lists a bunch questionmarks as it did with yours. I've also notived that for some reasone the f drive only wllors me to read on it, and I seem to only be able to view the files or f wile in konqueror. But I am so fare not able to change the limitations in the properties option.

[iccaros]

this is what I am going to try,,
I am going to backup all the stuff on f (this is using other stuff we can not go in to detail about on this board:)

I am then going to see if gentoox will format (mkfs.fatx /dev/hda55)
tehn see if I can 1) read F with no problems write and read and 2) put the other stuff back.


I'll get on that tonight.. AS a matter of fact I have a xbox that I just got a new 160 drive for so Ill do it on that to see if I format F with avacontrol (runs in wine) I can make it work..

nwo tha tI understand your problem adn see I am haveing the same.. I will work on the solutions.. its my stress reducer to haveing to working with windows servers all day...
