How To Map A Device With VID/PID With Mounted Path /dev/sdx?

My question is: where can I find

where is my android device mounted at on my OS? (Ubuntu 13.10, Alcatel Fierce 2)

It isnt showing up in Gparted, fdisk, and Im not exactly sure where to look in dmesg

I have no problem mounting my Android device.

Im looking for where it is mounted in dev/sd*

Hey All,

Is there a way to present a path or other block device to a USB port on a Linux server then have that port connected to a USB port of another device (ie USB to USB) and have it look like a flash disk?

I can plug a USB flash disk to a router just fine. But if I wanted a device to access a path off of another device int he absence of NFS or CIFS capability, that would be handy.

In other words, anyway to assign storage to a USB port in Linux? It would be akin to something like SAN with a target and source just with USB.

Cheers,
DH

Hello,
I just want to know if it is possible to mount a share to /tmp on RHEL 6.6?

For example to mount <device hosting share>:/vol/share_name as /tmp
which is already mounted as follows:

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/SDVol-LVtmp
1998672 512380 1381436 28% /tmp

Thank you.

In my RHEL 6 sever space issue so i am mounted new user
home directory to my nas storage with cifs rw permission

but when user using ftp getting error 550 create directory operation failed

vsftpd user home directory mounted with cifs rw permission but getting error 550 create directory operation failed

books say that PATH variable contains the locations where the shell searches the commands to execute them.

I created a shell script and saved it in /home/user/Downloads directory and then i ran this script from the /home/user/Downloads directory. It did not execute.

however when i did set the path
export PATH=$PATH:/bin/sh within /home/user/Downloads directory, the shell script executed. Does it not mean that PATH variable is holding the locations of the shell program rather than the commands that are to be executed?

everytime i have to give the location of the shell i.e /bin/sh in the PATH variable no matter from where i am executing my script

Hello I am a newbie to this forum and Linux. Thank you ahead of time for your advice, constructive criticism and sharing.
Fedora 15
I enter following command> yum install-gnome-tweak-tool

The result is >cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. please verify its path and try again.

I dont know how to get to the repo to fix it. In the files i need to remove an s from HTTPSS... We did it in class but i want to learn for myself.

Is there a way to have a script called source, that can be run without the full path?

Ex:
When I run:
export PATH=/home/user:$PATH
source

I get:
Code:

$ source
bash: source: filename argument required
source: usage: source filename [arguments]

However I want it to run my script called source:
Code:

$ cat source 
#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello World"

Is there way to override a shell builtin in the PATH var or some other way?

Hi All,
I had installed Cent OS 6.6 on sda. The RAID1 and LVM setup was on sdb and sdc. To practice well on recovering RAID and LVM after the OS reinstallation, I just reinstalled the OS. During first re installation of OS, I had selected all the mount points including RAID/LVM partitions as same as how those where mounted before the reinstallation, but the format was selected to only /, /others, /var. And after booting /dev/md0 and LVM partitions were set to active automatically and everything was mounted properly. Also there was no any data loss in the RAID/LVM partitions. So I could made sure that everything will be perfect if we carefully select the mount points during OS reinstallation by making sure the formating partitions.

Now I thouht of reinstalling OS once again but this time didn't select mount points for RAID/LVM partitions during OS reinstallation, thought for manual setup after the installation. So just selected /, /others, /var partitions to format. When it booted, I ran "cat /proc/mdstat" but it was taken /dev/md127(read only) instead of /dev/md0.
Code:

# cat /proc/mdstat 
Personalities : [raid1] 
md127 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sdc[1] sdb[0]
      52396032 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU]
      
unused devices: <none>

So now I just wanted to stop and restart this RAID array as /dev/md0. But I am not able to stop as it is giving following error.
Code:

# mdadm --stop --force /dev/md127
mdadm: Cannot get exclusive access to /dev/md127:Perhaps a running process, mounted filesystem or active volume group?

I made sure that no one RAID/LVM partitions are mounted.
Code:

# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1        15G  3.5G   11G  26% /
tmpfs           376M     0  376M   0% /dev/shm

/dev/sda3       2.9G  133M  2.6G   5% /var

But LVM is active

As LVM is active on /dev/md127 it is not allowing to stop /dev/md127 raid array. So as I am fresher in RAID/LVM, expecting your kind help to make LVM inactive without any data loss and restart the RAID array as /dev/md0 and then re activate the LVM setup.
Expecting your kind reply, Thanks.

Hello,

i mounted a fat32 partition located in my external 500GB USB Hard Disk to /mnt/fat32 using su root at shell.

then i see it is read only for my user account. the gnome file manager shows all the files and folders, but i cannot past or create anything.

so i #chmod 777 /mnt/fat32

but problem still remain same.

I want my Plex Media Server, Web Server, and Honeypot running on separate partitions. I've formatted them how I want:

SDA7 is my MediaCentre, formatted in XFS, I'd like this mounted as a separate partition and I'd like this to be the location of the Plex Media Server.

SDA8 is my WebServer, formatted in ext4. I'd also like this mounted as a separate partition and be the location of my Web Server (Probs use LAMP and an FTP Download Client).

SDA9 is my Honeypot server, formatted in XFS. Again, I'd like this to be mounted on a separate partition and will be where my Honeypot Server lives.

I'd also like all three servers to be running on VM's to help isolate them.

How do I go about accomplishing this? I'm a Windows native. In Windows I'd have partitioned everything, Created the virtual machines, moved them to their respective partitions, then installed all of the applications.

First things first, how/what do I mount these drives as? Can I just mount them as /mnt/mediaserver and /mnt/webserver etc? Will these mount points then be recognised?
