VFS: Can't find ext3 on dev loop0 file system

I was trying to kickstart iso for an ESX 4.1 unattended installation. I followed the procedure mentioned here:

http://www.vmprofessional.com/index.php?content=kickstart_2

But this step

We need to extract the image and mount it as a loopback device.

[root@esx01 ~]# gunzip initrd.img --suffix .img
[root@esx01 ~]# mount -o loop /root/initrd /mnt/floppy

fails asking for mentioning the filesystem. So I tried this:

mount -o loop -t ext2 initrd /mnt/floppy

It says:

VFS: Can't find ext2 filesystem on dev loop0

I tried this:

mount -o loop -t ext3 initrd /mnt/floppy

It says:

VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev loop0

I tried this:

mount -o loop -t vfat initrd /mnt/floppy

It says:

VFS: Can't find ext2 filesystem on dev loop0

FAT: Invalid Media

No idea how to make it work?

Thank you

Just had a look on the indications that you follow. ESX 3.0 then you will want to use something a little more current.

  • Can EE hyperic or open source windows file systems mounted remote monitor?

    Can EE hyperic or open source windows file systems mounted remote monitor? actions

    I have a server windows Hyperic Enterprise Version 3.0.3 and if I click on the dashboard, the Assembly resource file server, I see it as a green ball, local NTFS file systems, but the remote file systems have a gray ball. I see this on the server as well as on the windows client EA servers.
    If I try to conifure the disk, he says it is NOT installed or not configured correctly.  Since
    client and server hyperic windows run as root, I thought I could have access to the entire disk.
    Can monitor hyperic actions or remote windows file systems?  Maybe it's the account that installed the hyperic has a server share file system remote z:\, but my root account
    I use to access the EE hyperic server does not work?

    When you install the Windows agent as a service, it begins in place and works using the default SYSTEM account. This account has full administrative rights to monitor most of the things on the local computer, but will not be able to connect to remote shares on the network. The account used to install the software has no impact at this stage. In addition, the agent, not by the server permissions, are what effect the possibility of access to the remote network share.

    If you want to monitor your network shares using the agent on this box and not on the server that actually hosts the network share, you can change the agent service through the Services Control Panel:

    1. go to start-> Control Panel-> administration-> Services tools

    2. find the "HQ Agent" service and double-click (or right-click and select properties)

    3. on the connection tab, select it "this account:" radio button, and then enter a valid network user account information, as well as his password

    4. click on apply or OK to apply the change takes effect

    5 restart the service "Agent HQ"

    Keep in mind, no matter what you are using an account must have permissions to gather information of the local area, as well as the permission to connect to the remote network share.

  • Where can I find my Chkdsk 'found' the file?

    I used Chkdsk to scan my WD 1 TB external drive and when the analysis was, the notification area told me he had moved all these files into a folder named "found." Only problem is I have looked for this, searches for her and still can't find it, however, these files always take a lot of hard drive. Where can I find it?

    Hi Buffchic1098,

    Found folder gets created only when the disk check corrects errors according to find them. The file will be in the same drive on which the command chkdsk was run. This will be a hidden folder and you need to unhide the to find.

    I seems to have chosen a picture that I like but that you have not downloaded the preview to my computer. I wrote only the number of the file down. How can I find this image now? To explain in more detail, when you download the preview each photo has a number at the bottom right, normally about 8 digits. I want to use this number to locate a picture.

    Simply type the number of the image in the search. Be sure that the correct file types are audited.

All my configurations and emails and folders, etc were in place. A great feeling to not lose everything. Again, thank you for your kind reply.

    There is no way to install something now and do go back and tell you if yes or no files have been copied in the past.  It is rather likely, there are utilities that you can install now that that will follow for you by the departure, but having never been to this market, I can't say with certainty.  Search Bing or Google find these software fairly quickly if there is.
