I'm a first-time-user of Linux, using Ubuntu 14.04
I installed gitolite on /git (which is home directory for user 'git-repo') and there is a mounted directory /git/repositories (I tried to mount both network drive(CIFS), and hard disk drive(FAT32). Of course all the permissions on mounted /git/repositories for user 'git-repo' is granted)
However, when I try to setup, (with public key of admin user 'gitolite') it fails with an fatal error:
$ ./gitolite/src/gitolite setup -pk ./.ssh/gitolite.pub
Initialized empty Git repository in /git/repositories/gitolite-admin.git/
FATAL: could not symlink /git/.gitolite/hooks/common/update to gitolite-admin.git/hooks
at /git/gitolite/src/lib/Gitolite/Conf/Store.pm line 372.
I tried without mounting drive, It successed.
What is that FATAL error talking about, what is the problem, what is the difference between mounted directory and normal directory???

I'm trying to setup a code-server (vscode in browser) instance and read/write from a mounted samba share. Unfortunately when I try to add a file it gives me an error that I do not have permissions to read/write to that folder. When I try to add files with the same credentials on Windows it does work though. This is the error that VSCode gives me:
Unable to write file
'vscode-remote://localhost:8080/home/user/repository/test'
(NoPermissions (FileSystemError): Error: EACCES: permission denied,
open '/home/gmetitieri/user/test')
If I sudo touch file.txt then the file will be created and added. I already used chmod and added full access to the folder but it still won't work. Is this a credentials thing or am I missing something?
I already tried this answer but it still doesn't let me write as non-root
Edit: This is the command I used to mount the drive (just with different folder names and IP address):
sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,vers=3.0,credentials=/root/.examplecredentials //192.168.18.112/sharedDir /media/share
Considering "non-root through Samba", especially in new releases of OpenSuse (...15.3 -- 15.4), I do few movements into normal configuration panels (no sudo commands or anything technical).
Using Yast Firewall section -- For now (immediate solution):
I turn off the firewall, then see what you can turn on (after this) to keep the samba working with Microsoft Windows.
More details on how to do this with images on my website.
This happens when the directory on the Samba share does not have permission for non-root users.
In your smb4.conf file:
[test]
comment = Test share
path = /path/to/directory
force user = unixuser
valid users = sambauser
In this example, unixuser should be the owner of the files in /path/to/directory. The user logged into Samba in this example is a user called sambauser.
I am trying to do an NFS mount using CHEF. I have mounted it successfully. Please find the below code.
# Execute mount
node['chef_book']['mount_path'].each do |path_name|
mount "/#{path_name['local']}" do
device "10.34.56.1:/data"
fstype 'nfs'
options 'rw'
retries 3
retry_delay 30
action %i[mount enable]
end
end
i am able to successfully mount and make an entry in fstab file. But, after mounting the user:group for the mount linked is changing to root:root , which i was not expecting.
i want to use myuser:mygroup as owner:group. I tried changing the same using chown command but am getting permission denied issue
request some guidance
As mentioned in the comment, this is not something Chef controls per se. After the mount, the folder will be owned by whatever the NFS server says. You can try to chmod the folder after mounting but that's up to your NFS configuration and whatnot as to if it will be allowed.
How can I have a shared folder (access to the same folder from both host and guest machines) WITHOUT any syncing method running? (I want to use my own rsync script which is exactly what I need without the Vagrant file sharing performance penalties).
I have tried
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true
but it disables the entire share.
I'm using Vagrant 1.8.1 on Windows 7 (host) with Virtualbox 5.0.12 and guest OS is Ubuntu 12.04.
You can indeed share a folder simply using the VirtualBox Manager.
Disable the Vagrant synced folder (in the vagrantfile):
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true
Install Guest Additions to VirtualBox
Open VirtualBox Manager and select Settings > Shared Folders > Adds new shared folder (sic)
Add your host path in "Folder Path:" and your guest name (eg FolderName) in "Folder Name:"
Your guest name will appear in the guest linux in /media/sf_FolderName
Give your preferred guest user access to the folder. I did sudo adduser vagrant vboxsf and sudo chmod 777 /media/sf_FolderName and it DID NOT WORK for me - vagrant user still gets permission denied. Those commands seem to have worked for others, but I have ended up just working as root, which does have access.
Incidentally, here's my rsync formula (with a watch that polls every second) which works really well for me.
sudo watch -n 1 rsync -avh --delete --exclude-from=/media/sf_FolderName/FOLDERTOCOPY/rsync-exclude.txt /media/sf_FolderName/FOLDERTOCOPY /path/to/destination
NOTE: It works only if you're making changes on the host (eg developing using editor in Windows in my case). If you're making changes on the guest (eg git pull) you're gonna wanna stop this the watch/rsync from running and manually copy back in the other direction. Not ideal, but at least developing with this setup is fast.
Thanks to Frederic Henri for nudging me in this direction.
I want to mount a folder which is on some other machine to my linux server. To do that i am using the following command
mount -t nfs 192.xxx.x.xx:/opt/oracle /
Which is executing with the following error
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.xxx.x.xx:/opt/oracle
Do anyone knows what's going on ??? I am new to linux.
Depending on what distro you're using, you simply edit the /etc/exports file on the remote machine to export the directories you want, then start your NFS daemon.
Then on the local PC, you mount it using the following command:
mount -t nfs {remote_pc_address}:/remote/dir /some/local/dir
Please try with your home directory as per my knowledge you can't dump anything directly on root like that.
For more reference, find full configuration steps here.
I have created a chrooted sftp user, and mounted a directory to the users chrooted home.
Within this directory I have one directory for each website the sftp user has access to.
When I rebooted my Ubuntu 10.04 server, the content of the mounted folder is gone.
/home/chrootedUser/websites/website1
To my frustration the website1 directory is gone/deleted.
My /etc/fstab config:

My mounts (using command mount):
http://pastebin.com/XcGGvGVE
I hope someone can point me in the right direction, please let me know if you need anything else.
Unmount /home/chrootedUser/websites and your files will be there. Probably your mount didn't work for the first time when you were creating those files. But now it works.
fstab should do automounting for you just fine. It's difficult to tell what exactly went wrong, you can read /proc/self/mounts to check your mounts.
