Hi All,
At 11.04, fstab worked nicely to automount Windows partition on startup. Here is fstab:
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sdb5 during installation
UUID=4f0535f6-1320-43c1-a93f-5d8cb8bfadab / ext4 errors=remount-ro,user_xattr 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sdb6 during installation
UUID=835b10ea-6ac5-4e85-8e52-4581df3f85c2 none swap sw,user 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ntfs defaults 0 0
# Windows C:
/dev/sda2 /Windows/C-Drive ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
/Windows/C-Drive is a directory that only exists to be a mount point
After upgrading to 11.10, I get an error in the bootup process that says there are Serious Errors in finding /Windows/C-Drive. I have the option of manually fixing it, skipping or ignoring. After skipping/ignoring, Ubuntu works fine.
Once logged in I can manually mount sda2 to /Windows/C-Drive.
I have manually mounted with both:
sudo mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=007 /dev/sda2 /Windows/C-Drive
sudo mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 /dev/sda2 /Windows/C-Drive
With either of these, everything appears to work normally again - shortcuts to the Windows partition, etc are fine.I have also tried the '0222' variation in fstab - it makes no difference.
Any ideas?
In case it helps, fdisk says:
