Automount ex4 and ntfs patitions from disk on boot about dsbmd HOT 34 CLOSED

I haven't install fusefs-exfat yet but I wanna say exfat usb sticks work out of box without it.

If it's really exFAT, and you haven't installed fusefs-exfat, this is not possible. If DSBMD is asked to mount an exFAT partition, it executes mount.exfat-fuse (installed by sysutils/fusefs-exfat) via /sbin/mount_fusefs. It's probably a FAT or NTFS stick. You can see the filesystem type in the output of dsbmc-cli -l. What does the command show with your ventoy stick plugged in?

Thank you for fast response and support.
I have added exfat module and ventoy multiboot usb works correct.
Looks like now everything is work like I expect.

Hi @timsofteng,

1. Can you mount your partitions manually via dsbmc-cli -m /path/to/partition?
2. Is dsbmc-cli -a running (ps ax | grep dsbmc-cli) ?

from dsbmd.

@mrclksr
It don't wanna be mounted.

What do I do wrong?

from dsbmd.

Run dsbmc-cli -l to see which devices can be mounted. E.g.:

% dsbmc-cli -l
dev=/dev/da0s1:volid=da0s1:fsname=msdosfs:type=usbdisk
dev=/dev/da0s2a:volid=nomadroot:fsname=ufs:type=usbdisk
dev=/dev/da0s3a:volid=nomadhome:fsname=ufs:type=usbdisk
dev=/dev/pseudo00:volid=gvfs:fsname=fuse:mntpt=/var/run/user/1001/gvfs:type=hdd

% dsbmc-cli -m /dev/da0s3a

from dsbmd.

dsbmc-cli -l

It return nothing. However I put dsbmc-cli -a& into my .xinitrc

from dsbmd.

Could you please post the content of your /etc/fstab?

from dsbmd.

Could you please post the content of your /etc/fstab?

Should I rewrite my /etc/fstab manually? I dint't do it. Inst't dsmbd do it automatically?

from dsbmd.

Should I rewrite my /etc/fstab manually?

No. DSBMD ignores any partition which has an /etc/fstab entry. That's why I asked for the content, because it's quite odd there is no devices listed. Could you please provide the output of tail -50 /var/log/dsbmd.log?

Inst't dsmbd do it automatically?

Yes.

from dsbmd.

tail -50 /var/log/dsbmd.log

Yep, sure.
Here is tail -50 /var/log/dsbmd.log

Assuming your HDD/SSD is ada0, what does the following output?:

Should I insert my disk name here?
This is return nothing

sh -c 'for d in diskid/DISK-WD-WCC2ER8VR457p0; do fstyp $d; done'
fstyp: diskid/DISK-WD-WCC2ER8VR457p0: No such file or directory

from dsbmd.

Should I insert my disk name here?

The device name, like ada0. You can see it in the output of glabel status. Look for the line which matches diskid/DISK-WD-WCC2ER8VR457

from dsbmd.

glabel status

from dsbmd.

Hmm, interesting ...

What does ls /dev/ada0* say?

from dsbmd.

ls /dev/ada0*

Here is response
/dev/ada0

from dsbmd.

Now I understand why DSBMD doesn't show any devices. From your gpart show output I can see that your disk has a GPT layout, and has 8 partitions, but, and that is what confuses me, there are no ada0p1, ..., ada0p8 device which represent those partitions. Can you still boot Linux and/or Windows from that disk?

from dsbmd.

Could you please provide the output of gpart show -p ada0?

from dsbmd.

Yep, I can boot linux and windows without any issues.

gpart show -p ada0
gpart: No such geom: ada0.

from dsbmd.

What about gpart show -p and glabel status?

Thank you for your patience. I will have to modify the source code to handle unusual cases like this. I will let you know so that you can test it.

No problem. Thanks for fast support.

I did some research and found out that what's happening here is so called GEOM withering. If you mount a partition by its disk ID, the device nodes like ada, and da disappear. You can disable disk IDs by setting kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0" in /boot/loader.conf, and reboot.

from dsbmd.

Looks like it works now.
But I have few more questions.

1. When I plug usb-stick and open it from pcmanfm file manager and then unplug usb pcmanfm closeb by itself. Is it a bug in file manager or in dsbmd?
2. Can i somehow open and modified partitions on my usb-stick which was burned with ventoy? Now i get error on opening.

This has nothing to do with DSBMD. It mounts the device, changes its permission, etc. Who or what opens the mount point is non of its business.

2. Can i somehow open and modified partitions on my usb-stick which was burned with ventoy? Now i get error on opening.
   Here is ventoy quick guide:

Depending on the filesystem of the partition holding the ISO images, it is possible to mount an modify the content. In case of ExFAT you have to install sysutils/fusefs-exfat from ports.

Thank you very much.
Do you know why I can't install fusefs-exfat from pkg?

from dsbmd.

Do you know why I can't install fusefs-exfat from pkg?

This is due to licensing issues. You have to acknowledge the Microsoft license.

Got it. Should i manually enable fusefs_enable="YES" in rc.conf after installing port?

from dsbmd.

Should i manually enable fusefs_enable="YES" in rc.conf after installing port?

This is not necessary. DSBMD should load the fusefs module automatically (check kldstat | grep fuse).

from dsbmd.

Ok. I'll test it soon.
Thanks!

I haven't install fusefs-exfat yet but I wanna say exfat usb sticks work out of box without it.
It just doesn't recognize ventoy second patition with iso's. There are two partitions as EFI and second for iso's. Dsbmd recognize just EFI.
