harddisk control (adding/changing)

[pbecks1963]

Hello,

Tried su- and the diskmounter script and after that tried to click on the drive (in the gnome`-menu) but no sigar. Even gparted won't startup...

See below:

Usage: fdisk [-l] [-b SSZ] [-u] device
E.g.: fdisk /dev/hda (for the first IDE disk)

or: fdisk /dev/eda (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive)
or: fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0 or: fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0 (for RAID devices)

ps: i installed system-config-lvm 1.1.4 but i dare not tinker in it. (waiting for a good "how-to")

[cpg]

i am at a loss why this script would not work for you and seems to work for other people.

perhaps some bash scripting guru can take a look at it and figure out what may be going wrong ...

[moredruid]

I'm not a bash scripting guru, but this is fairly easy to find out...

Code: Select all

# This utility searches for available HFS+, NTFS and FAT32 partitions, creates # mount points for them and mounts the partitions

Code: Select all

# Now for the real work drivesntfs=`fdisk -l | grep -i 'ntfs' | awk -F '/| ' '{print $3}'` drivesfat=`fdisk -l | grep -i 'fat32' | awk -F '/| ' '{print $3}'` driveshfs=`fdisk -l | grep -i 'Apple_HFS' | awk -F '/| ' '{print $3}'` drivesext=`fdisk -l | grep -i 'Linux' | grep -v 'swap' | awk -F '/| ' '{print $3}'`

are dead giveaways: it doesn't check for LVMs (no built-in support)
filetype system: 8e (linux extended LV) is simply not parsed, so it throws an exception

I just glanced over it, so I might be wrong (but I don't think so ).
Also from what I can tell it already needs a filesystem on the disk, it won't create partitions and filesystems or whathaveyou but only mounts them if they're available.
