<description><![CDATA[unibroker posted : The only reason to delete the original was if it was occupying significant space which I doubt.  Need to review the cli commands to see if there is one for file size.  Thanks for all of your input.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[unibroker posted : My ext drive has 1 partition each for my WinXP and Ubuntu files (I am dual boot).  Both have the same underscore issue.  Gparted shows the mount points of each with the underscore present.  The original name without the underscore is absent.  I have normal backup operations as long as I use the one containing the underscore.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[jimkyle posted : Are we talking about actual partitions, or mount points? My presumption was that the unreadable items are mount points. If that's the case, once you have done a successful umount on the drive itself, and physically disconnected it, those unreadable mount points cannot damage the drive's content so it should be safe to delete them. The successful umount should take care of making certain the actual drive's contents are safely written out. If you get any kind of error, stop there and yell for help.<br><br>If umount succeeds, use the CLI "rm" command, rather than Nautilus, to remove the unreadable mount points so that they don't get shuttled into your "trash" area. Once they are gone, you should be able to rename the working mount points to remove the trailing underscore and be back to normal operation.<br><small>--<br>Jim Kyle</small>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[unibroker posted : Thanks for the response.  My external drive sits in a bay so that when the system is booted it is automatically mounted.  Currently the 2 original, unreadable partitions are not mounted and right-clicking them does not give options to mount/unmount. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[jimkyle posted : Be sure that the external drive is successfully unmounted, then totally disconnected from the system so that any residual connection to the "unreadable" mount points is no longer there. I believe it would then be safe to delete them.<br><br>However the automatic creation of the renamed mount point leads me to think that the drive might be being automatically mounted when it's plugged in, and in that case the mount point (not having been mounted via /etc/fstab or manually) might not be deletable even by use of "sudo." If that's the case, a system reboot might clear them out; I've had somewhat similar situations with network interface lockups that required the restart to clear...<br><small>--<br>Jim Kyle</small>]]></description>

<title>backup error; mount name change</title>

<description><![CDATA[unibroker posted : I got an error when trying to backup a file to an external hard drive.  When I checked nautilus my 2 partitions had names identical to my originals with an underscore appended to them.  I could "successfully" (without error) to the name with the underscore.  The names without the underscore were deemed "unreadable".<br><br>My research showed this as an error back in the Hardy (Ubuntu version name) but that was some years ago so I'd be surprised if it wasn't addressed.  Anyway, I was wondering if it would be safe to delete these "unreadable" locations?  ]]></description>
