Not anymore. -o remount,noatime was an effective method of disabling atime without a reboot. I don’t know that I’d say it’s a good idea, but if you intend to turn atime off, I don’t see what it would be a bad idea either if you have an old enough kernel. According to the man page … Read more
May be the noexec flag is set.
When storage is provided by a remote server across a SAN, you can only discard blocks if the storage is thin provisioned. If the storage is thick provisioned, it is always the same size, and discard makes no sense (and thus isn’t usable).
I would highly suggest AutoFS. This will dynamically mount and unmount your network shares in the background, all transparent to the user. I used to have problems with unmounting and remounting mobile devices until I made the switch. Unfortunately, there are far too many guides which overly complicate autofs setup. Assuming you’re on an Ubuntu … Read more

By default, the samba (cifs) package on some distributions doesn’t use the hosts file to resolve the name. Instead, it uses the NetBIOS name to resolve to the IP. There are two ways to go about this: Set samba to use the hosts file for resolution. In your smb.conf file, find and modify or create … Read more
There’s a few things you could try: Assuming that they are still not mounted when you can login, does a mount -a cause any errors to get printed to your terminal? This will only use information available in the fstab to mount all available mounts, and should provide details of any mounts that are still … Read more
From the mount.cifs manpage: credentials=filename specifies a file that contains a username and/or password. The format of the file is: username=value password=value This is preferred over having passwords in plaintext in a shared file, such as /etc/fstab. Be sure to protect any credentials file properly.
I created a partition called /dev/sdb1 in my Ubuntu VM. But I didn’t create a filesystem for this partition and so of course it will not get mounted. Then put following entry in fstab. /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ auto defaults,nobootwait 0 2 And rebooted VM. Server got rebooted with following error msg in syslog suku@ubuntu-vm:~$ grep sdb1 … Read more
Hell yes. If you execute the ln -s you create a symbolic link, which is an inode pointing to a certain filesystem object, which is why symlinks can traverse filesystems and hard links cannot: hard links do not have their own inode. If you mount a filesystem with –bind, you create a second mountpoint for … Read more
