|
|
So I had this working on my last build, but had to redo the box due to my own faulty partitioning. The problem I'm getting with ntfs-3g is Code: | LinuxBox ~ # mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc /mnt/backup/
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdc': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sdc' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around? |
I made sure that FUSE is in the kernel Code: | Symbol: FUSE_FS [=y]
Type : tristate
Prompt: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) support
Location:
(1) -> File systems
Defined at fs/fuse/Kconfig:1 |
The drive also has the right flag, at least I think it does Code: | Disk /dev/sdb: 640.1 GB, 640135028736 bytes, 1250263728 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xf4dcae3e
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 2048 1250260991 625129472 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
Disk /dev/sdc: 300.1 GB, 300090728448 bytes, 586114704 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000001
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 * 2048 586110975 293054464 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT |
I haven't done anything with the drives in forever, so I'm not sure what is going on. Did I miss something in the kernel? Did I miss something when emerging ntfs3g?
Thanks for any/all help on this. _________________ Thou shalt NEVER speak of removing thine Linux

you typed:
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc /mnt/backup/
and I guess you want:
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/backup/ |

Oh for the love of God I am retarded. I swear that didn't work before. Anyways, thank you for the easy/simple fix for this. _________________ Thou shalt NEVER speak of removing thine Linux |
