Cannot mount ntfs partition after partitioning HDD

**xinloiemnham2** · December 27th, 2008

After installing ubuntu 8.04, my hardisk have 5 partition :
1 : Windows xp sp2
2 : Ubuntu Hardy Heron
3,4,5 : Data
All of them were formated into ntfs (except ubuntu partition, of course

)

Today, I want to merge partition 3 and 4. I used Acronis Disk Director suit in Hirent boot cd to do.
Everything went through without any trouble. I reboot into windows xp, ok.
But when I reboot into ubuntu, it cannot mount partition 5, everything ok with the rest of my HDD.
When I try to mount partition 5 by go to Places/DATA (DATA is the label of this partition), I received this error : you are not privileged to mount the volume 'DATA'
When I use the command : sudo mount -a, here is the output :

Code:

ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/disk/by-uuid/B191B2814DFFD4BA': No such file or directory
Please type '/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g --help' for more information.
$MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 3).
Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': Input/output error
NTFS is either inconsistent, or you have hardware faults, or you have a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows TWICE. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If you have SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first you must activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for the details.

I reboot into windows to run chkdsk /f, afterward reboot into window twice. Everything still OK with windows.
I came back to ubuntu but nothing changed, I still have that error.

Here is output of the command :
sudo fdisk -l :

NOTE : Only sda5 cannot be mount, all the rest still ok.

Help me please !

Okay, you probably have a bad UUID in your fstab.

Run this command:

Code:

sudo blkid

in a terminal and check that the UUID for /sda1 matches the UUID you have for /sda1 in the output from the above command.

**xinloiemnham2** · December 27th, 2008

All UUID of my partition are not changed.
I've checked it before post my problem here.
Thanks

**taurus** · December 27th, 2008

What happens if you mount it from a terminal?

Code:

sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/sda5
df -h

**xinloiemnham2** · December 27th, 2008

Here is output of command :
sudo blkid :

Code:

/dev/sda1: UUID="250BA5CF61BE3BA6" TYPE="ntfs" LABEL="WIN"

/dev/sda5: UUID="31C61B4512909CA9" LABEL="DATA" TYPE="ntfs" 
/dev/sda3: TYPE="hfsplus"

sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/sda5 :

Code:

$MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 3).

The same error in post #1

I reboot into windows to run chkdsk /f, afterward reboot into window twice.

Did your run that on the correct partition? Your error message continues to indicate that the volume is not clean and inconsistent.

**Bucky Ball** · December 28th, 2008

Code:

/dev/sda5: UUID="31C61B4512909CA9" LABEL="DATA" TYPE="ntfs"

I don't know if it is the problem, but this line should look like this:

Code:

/dev/sda5: UUID="31C61B4512909CA9" TYPE="ntfs" LABEL="DATA"

As in:

Code:

/dev/sda1: UUID="250BA5CF61BE3BA6" TYPE="ntfs" LABEL="WIN"

With the 'type' first and the 'label' next. Could you post the fstab file, please?

Code:

nano /etc/fstab

**xinloiemnham2** · December 28th, 2008

Here is output of nano /etc/fstab :

Code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0
/swapfile none swap sw 0 0

It looks the same as output of cat /etc/fstab

@vanadium : I have done, no changed.

**Bucky Ball** · December 28th, 2008

Code:

/dev/sda3: TYPE="hfsplus"

# Entry for /dev/ !! UNKNOW DEVICE !! :
UUID=B191B2814DFFD4BA /media/sda3 ntfs umask=222,utf8 0 1

See the difference? One is saying 'hfsplus' as type (I don't know what that means) and the other the correct 'ntfs'. Not sure how to fix this but maybe that is where the problem is occurring. One other thing to note is that in the 'sudo blkid' output, the other partitions read like this:

Code:

/dev/sda5: UUID="31C61B4512909CA9" LABEL="DATA" TYPE="ntfs"

With the correct UUID. Not:

Code:

/dev/sda3: TYPE="hfsplus"

**xinloiemnham2** · December 28th, 2008

I want to explain that

Code:

/dev/sda3: TYPE="hfsplus"

# Entry for /dev/ !! UNKNOW DEVICE !! :
UUID=B191B2814DFFD4BA /media/sda3 ntfs umask=222,utf8 0 1

This partition I used to install Hackintosh, so ubuntu don't know its type

But Ubuntu can mount, read and write on it ok as on windows partition. And I don't think it occurred my problem.
If there's no solution for me, I have to reinstall Hardy, maybe
