I cant read my sda2 ntfs partition after enabling ntfs file support and fuse in the kernel. I also tryed installing ntfs3g and fuse via emerge and this is where i am at

Code:

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2
fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first


ive tryed modprobe fuse, ntfs, and ntfs3g to no avail same error.

what should i do next?

I also rebooted to see what the output would be and when mount /dev/sda2 it said something about a bad super block...
i can boot into windows 7 just fine and R/W via it to /dev/sda2(ie C;/)

You said you tried modprobe fuse, but you did not say what happens when you try it.

Code:

funky funky1096 # modprobe fuse
funky funky1096 #


thats what happens. I also tried chkdisk in windows since it said the superblock(MFT?) was bad and it did nothing to change the error message of needing fuse.

That means fuse was loaded, next load the ntfs3g or whatever it is called.

Code:

funky funky1096 # modprobe fuse
funky funky1096 # modprobe ntfs
funky funky1096 # modprobe ntfs-3g
modprobe: FATAL: Module ntfs-3g not found.
funky funky1096 # modprobe ntfs3g
modprobe: FATAL: Module ntfs3g not found.
funky funky1096 #


btw ntfs-3g/ntfs3g(not sure what its module is) is a emerge package under sys-fs/ntfs3g which succsessfully installs with this warning message
Code:

* QA Notice: Package triggers severe warnings which indicate that it
 *            may exhibit random runtime failures.
 * ntfsinfo.c:2006:4: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]

 * Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA

 * Homepage: http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/




and also mount still says the same thing when i tried after all that.


EDIT


yet more info ntfs-3g is a command not a module

Code:


funky / # ntfs-3g
ntfs-3g: No device is specified.

ntfs-3g 2012.1.15 external FUSE 29 - Third Generation NTFS Driver
      Configuration type 7, XATTRS are on, POSIX ACLS are on

Usage:    ntfs-3g [-o option[,...]] <device|image_file> <mount_point>

Options:  ro (read-only mount), remove_hiberfile, uid=, gid=,
          umask=, fmask=, dmask=, streams_interface=.
          Please see the details in the manual (type: man ntfs-3g).

Example: ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows

News, support and information:  http://tuxera.com
funky / # ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2
fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
funky / #


returns same error code even after "modprobe fuse" is used.

and also

Code:

funky funky1096 # modprobe -r fuse
modprobe: FATAL: Module fuse is builtin.

I do not use NTFS, but I suspect your in-kernel NTFS module may interfere with ntfs-3g.

Try
Code:
ls -R /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/
it should print all modules you have available for your running kernel.

There is no ntfs3g driver available for this version of kernel in your system. If fuse is built into kernel it will not show up as a module, that's OK. Now you have to figure out why ntfs3g is not installed for your running kernel. Make sure you are running the kernel you are compiling against.

im going to start fresh-ish i redownloaded the src for the gentoo linux kernel and am recompiling, im also unmerging ntfs3g to emerge again after i reboot into a kernel without ntfs support but with fuse support, should i change back to ntfs support you said there might be a problem there so i decided to do this. all of this to make 100% sure fuse is built against 3.10.7-gentoo-r1. and also because the current kernel's name is 3.10.7 :oops: .

Slight clarification, fuse is part of kernel. If enabled it will be there, either as a module or built-in.
ntfs3g and other exotic filesystams are supported using userspace drivers and have to be compiled against running kernel. There is no need to unmerge, just rebuild every time the kernel is upgraded.

Code:
emerge @module-rebuild

Ok you were right and after rebuilding against recompiled kernel I could mount sda3 and see its files :D thanks.

As far as I know, there is no need to rebuild FUSE-based filesystem handlers due to a kernel update. That should only be required if the FUSE ABI changes.

Thanks for correction. As I said I do not use NTFS, so I assumed it will be installed as a kernel module as it is the case with virtualbox. I guess my assumption wasn't correct.

NTFS support is a bit confusing. There are two ways to get NTFS access. You can use the in-tree kernel driver (builtin or as a module) to get read and limited write access or you can build FUSE support, which enables you to use a purely userspace FUSE-based NTFS handler. The latter is theoretically slower due to being FUSE based, but is generally recommended for its superior capabilities.
