Thread: Can't mount Linux disk from OSX !

-

hi,

i've set macbook triple-boot xp, osx, , 64-bit jaunty. i'm using refit boot whichever os want, , they're working fine. however, problem when i'm in osx, see 2 disks on desktop: macintosh hd , windows one.

what happened:
first time booted osx after confirming ubuntu working, found 3 disks on desktop, linux disk called "ubuntu". however, after this, booted xp (for first time after ubuntu install) check that ok (it seemed fine). then, rebooted osx - 2 disks on desktop in osx, despite several reboots various os's.

what did try fix it:
  1. i opened disk utility in osx , looked third disk. there in left-hand panel, called "disk0s3" strange. when selected in left-hand panel, got following info:
    mount point: not mounted
    format: ms-dos (fat32)
  2. i clicked "mount" icon in top section of disk utility window, try mount disk. got message in popup window:
    mount failed
    disk "disk0s3" not mounted.
    try running first aid on disk , retry mounting.
  3. so, closed popup, , clicked "verify disk" in first aid tab. got popup:
    first aid failed
    disk utility stopped verifying "disk0s3" because following error encountered:
    filesystem verify or repair failed.


i'd appreciate advice... i'd able access files in linux drive osx. lot!

hi,

firstly, stop fiddling linux partition within os x, or you'll break something.

secondly, quite normal computer behave way. os x cannot read or write linux file system. linux file system known 'ext', , there numbered variants - ext2, ext3, , ext4. pretty similar.

os x cannot interpret linux partition other unused partition.

possible use ext2 using software package called ext2fs, it's not stable , hasn't been maintained well. if you're not unix guru, suggest don't use it. people wish transfer files between os x , linux use simpler file system such fat32 transfer files between them. can set separate partition purpose, or use external usb key has been formatted fat32. ubuntu can read os x partition not write it. respect unix file , folder permissions, won't let user's home directories, example.

hello ! wrote today article on blog cpu load monitoring (using gpio , leds) on raspberry's. simple (written in little shell script), think can useful (for people want learn leds stuff on r. pi) there 5 leds turning on , off regarding cpu load: - cpu < 20%: 1 led - cpu < 40%: 2 leds - cpu < 60%: 3 leds - cpu < 80%: 4 leds - cpu < 90%: 5/5 leds - cpu >= 90%: 5 leds flashing here article: written in french, can watch youtube video , download code @ bottom of article. http://www.chteuchteu.com/2012/10/26/ra ... e-au-gpio/ if find errors in code, can post comment on article. ! up code enhancements ? raspberrypi
