This could also be because of a protocol mismatch. In 2017 Microsoft patched Windows Servers and advised to disable the SMB1 protocol. From now on, mount.cifs might have problems with the protocol negotiation. The error displayed is “Host is down.”, but when you do debug with: smbclient -L <server_ip> -U <username> -d 256 you will … Read more
Avoid using /etc/mtab because it may be inconsistent. Avoid piping mount because it needn’t be that complicated. Simply: if grep -qs ‘/mnt/foo ‘ /proc/mounts; then echo “It’s mounted.” else echo “It’s not mounted.” fi (The space after the /mnt/foo is to avoid matching e.g. /mnt/foo-bar.)
You can simple run: mount -a -a Mount all filesystems (of the given types) mentioned in fstab. This command will mount all (not-yet-mounted) filesystems mentioned in fstab and is used in system script startup during booting.
The mount command accepts –bind or -o bind. In the /etc/fstab file, you can use the following line: /source /destination none defaults,bind 0 0
For newer Linux systems, you can use guestmount to mount the third partition within a VMDK image: Alternatively, to autodetect and mount an image (less reliable), you can try: Do note that the flag –ro simply mounts the image as read-only; to mount the image as read-write, just replace it with the flag –rw. Installation guestmount is contained in following packages … Read more
There is no such command, since there is no list of “attempted mounts”. You can compare the current mount list (/etc/mtab) to the list of shares registered to be mounted though (/etc/fstab). Alternatively you could try to grep through the system log files to find failed mount attempts.
NFS Mount is not working in my RHEL 7 AWS instance. When I do a I get the error: Can anyone point me where I am wrong? Thanks.
A better way to describe “mount” is “attach”. The filesystem being mounted is attached to an empty directory of the existing filesystem. That is, the top level directory of the mounted filesystem becomes the directory on the existing filesystem. Subdirectories of the mounted filesystem become the subdirectories of the former directory on the existing filesystem, … Read more
There is a segmentation fault problem which was introduced in 0.1.39. You may check my repository that fixed this one meanwhile: https://github.com/vdudouyt/mhddfs-nosegfault
