Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
after
sudo modprobe fuse
this
actionhank@actionhank-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1
fusermount: mount failed: No such device
Failed to create FUSE mount point.
Retry to create FUSE mount point ...
fusermount: mount failed: No such device
Failed to create FUSE mount point.
Unmounting /dev/sda1 (System)
so, the problem remains. any suggestions?
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
Okay here is my situation. I have 3 hard drives. The first hard drive is a 250gb SATA which has Ubuntu installed and is the primary (sda). The second is
another 250gb SATA drive (sdb), the third is a 200GB (sdc1) external SATA to USB enclosure. I dont care about the 2nd drive (sdb). The problem being that the external enclosure is a NTFS. I can not change the format due to have to share with Windows. And I know FAT would be easier but many files are 8gb or larger. After a fresh install of Edgy the external drive automatically mounted and placed an icon on the desktop. I am able to read the drive. I have tried the tutorial here but when rebooted the drive disappears. Here is my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=5d0fb92a-ec27-411b-8ea5-a4ff26081f3b / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=c0b3ae5b-3690-411a-ade4-93ccd004f5ab none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
dev/sdc1 /media/Data ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
also here is my fdisk output:
Disk /dev/sdc: 203.9 GB, 203928109056 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 194481 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes

sdd1 is just a flash memory device and already works.

I realized my problem duhh.. my fstab was wrong in two ways on the last line. it should read:
/dev/sdc without the 1
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
I am confused. How do I remount my windows ntfs partition (hda1) so it's accessable on my desktop?
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
i have the wrong fuse version i guess although i installed 2.6.

I just tried to mount my NTFS hda1 and got the following error:
Code:
matt@matt-laptop:~$ sudo mount /dev/hda1
Failed to mount '/dev/hda1': Operation not supported
Mount is denied because the NTFS journal file is unclean. Choices are:
A) Shutdown Windows properly.
B) Click the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows taskbar
notification area before disconnecting the device.
C) Use 'Eject' from Windows Explorer to safely remove the device.
D) If you ran chkdsk previously then boot Windows again which will
automatically initialize the journal.
E) Run 'ntfsfix' on Linux which will reset the NTFS journal.
F) Mount the volume read-only by using the 'ro' mount option.
I have restarted multiple times, how do I fix this problem?
Edit:
I booted into M$, did a little dance, then returned to the safety of Ubuntu, and I can now access the NTFS drive AND write to it :D
Thanks for the great tut guys!
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
Hello guys, sorry for the delay.
spamzilla, great :)
Actionhank, ok, you didn't have to install fuse 2.6 to use ntfs-3g from my repo. Just using the one from the repo should be enough. Also, did you compile your own kernel ?
mooglie, you are the third user to report this problem. i have no clue why it's happens. You'll have to live with it for the moment.
robio376, read the COMMON PROBLEM section.
slyguyr3, 1) no idea
2) what give you :
Code:
sudo umount /dev/hdb1
sudo mount /dev/hdb1

Following along from the beginning, in Step 2 (Installation) did this:
Code:
$ wget http://givre.cabspace.com/ubuntu/givre_key.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
--14:44:17-- http://givre.cabspace.com/ubuntu/givre_key.asc
=> `-'
Resolving givre.cabspace.com... failed: Name or service not known.
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
the similar line from flomertens.keo.in appeared to succeed.
Thought you'd want to know...

Thanks dude ;) . cabspace seems to be down right know.
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
Thanks for the quick reply!
Did the rest of the install, did the restart, created a file on the -3g filesystem, ran upstairs to the XP box, edited it, saved it, ran back downstairs, observed that the upstairs change had, in fact, been saved correctly.
So - resounding success from all appearances here.
Thanks !!!
( of course I'm still left with the usual *ix vs XP line-ending differences when trying to do cross-platform stuff, but I've come to expect that... the ".txt" file I created here with gedit in Edgy (with a newline) displayed with a square in XP's NotePad. I understand this is *not* an ntfs-3g issue. It's just amusing that I've seen and solved (in various ways) this issue for more than 15 years, and it's still with us. )
( I don't expect it'll be any issue except when trying to cross platforms with text mode applications. )
Thanks again for the work, the results, and the support !
