    Problem mounting ntfs partition

    Hello guys! I have a litle problem when I'm trying to mount a ntfs partition in Ubuntu 11.04. When I'm trying to mount the partition, I recive the following error:
    Code:
    Unable to mount DATA
    One or more block devices are holding /dev/sda6
    Here is a screenshot from gparted:

    I have installed on my pc windows 7 and backtrack RC5(sda4 is for backtrack).
    What should I do to mount DATA partition? OS partition works very well in Ubuntu and in Backtrack both OS and DATA are working perfectly.
    Thank you in advance!

    Re: Problem mounting ntfs partition

    I found this let's see if it's working for you:

    1. You need to make permanent home for the ntfs partition into which it can be stored. To make permanent home for the ntfs partition you may need to type the following command in the terminal window:

    Code:
    sudo mkdir /media/WinBackUp
    2. The above command will take the backup and it will be stored in the location given by you.

    3. After taking a backup you may need to add a line to the fstab by typing the command given below:

    Code:
    /dev/sda5 /media/WinBackUp ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=46 0 0
    4. Now you can type the below command in the fstab file which will mount the ntfs partition.

    Code:
    sudo mount –a
    5. Now the ntfs partition will be mounted automatically without any problem.

    Re: Problem mounting ntfs partition

    How do you know that it's not already mounted? That would give you an error if you tried to mount it again. Have you checked your /etc/fstab to ensure that it isn't being mounted by default?

    Re: Problem mounting ntfs partition

    the error is in task #2
    /dev/sda5 /media/WinBackUp ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=46 0 0
    it should be:
    Code:
    /dev/sda6 /media/WinBackUp ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=46 0 0
    also if you want write permisssions I would change the type to "fuseblk" (after you have installe "ntfs-3g" and "libntfs-3g75")
