Can't mount ntfs from linux

Dear Sirs,
I have install linux Redhat5.3 release 2.6.18-128.el5PAE.i am trying to mount some of the drive of windows 7 on my linux system.
Someone can help me with the rpm for the same.

[linux.softpedia.com/get/System/.../ntfs-3g-15028.shtml] linux.softpedia.com/get/System/.../ntfs-3g-15028.shtml
or

Use ntfs-3g package to mount ntfs drives into linux.
use following command at shell prompt
$ mount -t /dev/sda1 /mnt/drive_win7
Please find your drive such as sda1 or sda2 or anything from fdisk command and press p to print and press q to quit.
Also, if you want to mount every time you login into linux system.
Then you have to change /etc/inittab file.
Google it out. Easy commands out there for newbies like me and you there.
Regards,
Dave.

KDE's Dolphin can't mount NTFS partitions after upgrade to systemd

Hi, I just finished to migrate my system to a pure systemd setup. Everithing seems to work fine, except that Dolphin can't mount NTFS partitions anymore, as it was able to do before. I'm not 100% sure that systemd is the culprit, but nevertheless it is a big change in my system so I assume that it may be the problem.
Trying to mount with Dolphin I get this error message:
An error occurred while accessing 'sATA-a', the system responded: The requested operation has failed.: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
Error opening '/dev/sdb1': Permesso negato
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Permesso negato
Please check '/dev/sdb1' and the ntfs-3g binary permissions,
and the mounting user ID. More explanation is provided at
http://tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged
I used to get this kind of error aeons ago when trying to mount from CL; puzzling enough, mounting from CL now works:
$ mount /media/disks/sATA-a
$ ls /media/disks/sATA-a
Documenti Download $RECYCLE.BIN RECYCLER sATA-b System Volume Information Temp Video
This is the relevant entry in my fstab (I don't know if Dolphin cares about it...):
#sATA-a
UUID=D6789B21789B0003 /media/disks/sATA-a ntfs-3g noauto,users 0 0
And finally:
$ ll `which ntfs-3g`
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 125K 21 apr 12.13 /bin/ntfs-3g
Can anybody give me a hint? Thanks.

OK, the mess is growing up. Today I switched my laptop to systemd, and the mount problem has appeared on this system as well. So I am confident that this is a systemd-related issue, and maybe some stock Arch config file is broken. I have this entry on my /etc/fstab for the ntfs-3g drive:
UUID=88705BA9705B9D2E /media/vista ntfs-3g noauto,users,exec 0 0
I compiled ntfs-3g with internal fuse support and did the setuid trick:
$ ls -l `which ntfs-3g`
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 125K 16 apr 2012 /bin/ntfs-3g
I can mount the disk using the command:
$ mount /media/vista/
$
It works flawlessly, so ntfs-3g works. If I try to mount it with udisks I get:
$ /usr/bin/udisks --mount /dev/sda2 --mount-options users,exec
Mount failed: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
Error opening '/dev/sda2': Permesso negato
Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Permesso negato
Please check '/dev/sda2' and the ntfs-3g binary permissions,
and the mounting user ID. More explanation is provided at
http://tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged
It sounds to me that udisks is trying to mount the disk as a different user, but I'm not an expert so I might be wrong. If I remove the entry in /etc/fstab then udisks will ask for the password. Repeating the same steps but for an ext3 partition, I am able to mount with udisks when there is a proper fstab entry, and I'm asked for a password when that entry is commented out.
Based on these findings, I strongly suspect that there is some problem with logind configuration in my system. I have been going round and round for hours, serching the web and the wiki (which BTW is in a very bad shape, containing outdated or no informations about mount policies in the polkit and udev sections), and now I feel I need some help to go through it... thanks.

"mount: only root can mount" or "Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS"

I'm trying to set up an NTFS partition to use as a common data partition between Arch and Windows. I have it added to fstab so that any user in the ntfsuser group can have access to it, but if it gets unmounted accidentally from the "eject" symbol in the nautilus gui, you have to sudo to mount it back up. Is there a way for it to be remounted automatically when you click on the partition again in Nautilus? I've searched all through the forums and looked through several articles on the wiki but haven't been able to come up with anything. The error I get says
mount: only root can mount /dev/sda4 on /home/adam/UserData
I've tried adding the users option to fstab, but that only manages to change the error to
Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE
library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated
FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at
http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged
I've tried the suggestions at the link in the error, as well as tried the solutions given in [solved] Gnome : mounting NTFS partition as user and a few other posts, but still nothing. If possible, I'd prefer to stay away from the users option in fstab, since it adds a redundant link to the sidebar in nautilus with a different name.

@Mr.Elendig: It is mounted through fstab normally, but in nautilus there's an eject icon on the sidebar next to the name of the drive which I've accidentally clicked on a couple times if I'm just trying to open the drive real quick. Once its been unmounted like that it won't let me remount unless I use sudo. I'm just looking for something to make it a little more convenient than having to pop open a cli and type in a password.
I'll try the suid root when I get home tonight, otherwise I'll look into autofs.

Can't mount ntfs partition

hi.. i am running tiger, have no boot camp, but decided to run windows on it.. i've divided the drive into 2 partitions, mac and fat32. everything looked ok until i formatted the fat32 drive to ntfs using the partition utility on a windows xp install cd. since then, mac doesn't mount the ntfs drive. i wanted to copy my windows via some ntfs driver on my mac, but it doesn't want to mount it and i can't mount it via disk utility either.. any ideas??
thanx much

ok, here's the story:
when i had leopard, i ran also windows xp via boot camp, i remember that when i formatted the windows partition from fat32 (default boot camp filesystem), leopard stopped mounting it after restart. that changed when i actually installed windows and started using it (i am almost sure boot camp made leopard be able to mount it normally (read only though, which changed when i installed mac fuse)). so after boot camp took care of the partition, leopard was able to mount it. now i am having this sort of problem: i am running tiger (downgraded back to it because of some bugs in leopard i dislike pretty much) but i cannot run boot camp any more. i partitioned the disk using disk utility (by default into fat32 fs) before installing of tiger. then i used a windows installation cd to reformat the windows partition to ntfs, and from that point on, i can see the disk in terminal (/dev/disk0s3 as well as in disk utility-unmounted) but i am unable to mount it, nobody knows why (i was able to do so when it was fat32). i have already installed the mac fuse with the ntfs driver, but nothing changed, the partition remains unmounted after reboot... this is what boot camp could handle, but unfortunately i have no boot camp any more... i also tried installing refit, an alternative bootloader, hoping it would help with this issue, but nothing works...
i hope u get what i'm talking about now:)
the only thing i want to do is to mount the ntfs partition, because i have backed my old windows up and just want to copy it back with help of mac fuse.
anyone has any ideas??
thanx a lot

Firefox can't open hotmail from Linux ubuntu, but from windows it can

Today nov 9, trying to access hotmail using firefox from linux ubuntu is not working, it opens the login.live.com, but after entering credentials it just hangs and later it says: Connection reset by remote server.
3 days ago i just could logged in perfectly, i've spent the whole day trying and testing.
I've tried to login from a windows machine and it works perfectly, so whats the problem with firefox for linux???. PLZ HELP !!!!!!!!

When you load a video on YouTube, Firefox starts the Flash plugin with YouTube's SWF player. The SWF player imports and plays the actual MP4 or FLV media. Firefox doesn't associate Flash with these formats directly.
Can you use a stand-alone player, such as QuickTime or VLC to play the downloaded file outside of the browser?
If you need to play it in the browser, perhaps someone has posted instructions on how to do it. Because of security restrictions, you probably would need to save a web page file (.html) and a SWF player into the same folder as the media in order to get everything to work together.

Brand New IPod Mini - Can't mount iPod from IPod Updater

Just bought a brand new IPOD mini. When I try to use the IPod Updater, I get an error message "Can't mount iPod".
Windows XP Services shows IPOD services is started.
The IPOD appears in My computer as "Removalable Disk".
Also, my IPOD does not appear in iTunes.

This is a very reasonable strategy. It has been previously used for USB problems with battery charging.
See this link: The iPod Battery Unplugged..
A synopsis of it is as follows:
"For best results, try not to use computer ports to charge your iPod. USB is especially sensitive to how many devices are on it and what the resulting bus voltage is. It may even display the charging icon but not be adding much to the battery. USB versions prior to 2.0 will not charge your iPod (and probably be too slow for its other functions). Even USB 2.0 is limited to 700 milliamps and an iPod "likes" to see one full amp for charging, plus some to spin the HD while mounted. Some (early) iPod models will not charge from USB, period. Some PCs use 4-pin Firewire cables (all Macs are 6-pin) which carry no charging voltage, so they won't work at all for recharging and can allow your iPod to run down and cause serious problems while updating firmware, restoring, or loading songs. Both USB and Firewire require the iPod to be mounted by your computer as an external drive, which means the iPod's HD is spinning, using some of the juice that the battery might like to have. And if the computer sleeps or is turned off, the battery won't charge and in some cases will actually drain through the port circuits. Bottom line: if your ports are not doing a good job of charging your battery, use the wall adapter to charge for several cycles before questioning the battery's credentials. If you have a new iPod which only comes with USB, don't panic; it can work fine. But if you do experience problems, either take everything else off the USB bus (except mouse & keyboard) and/or get an AC adapter."

Can't mount NTFS drives on 10.5.8

I was given a 1TB WD external drive today that won't mount on my MBP. When I plug it in, I get a window that says, "The disk you inserted could not be read by this computer."
Under Disk Utility, I can see the drive icon and gather the info under "Format: Windows NT file system (Tuxera NTFS)" When I click to manually mount it says "Mount Failed".
I downloaded trial software from Tuxera and another from a company called Paragon. Both are system preferences that are supposed to allow the ability to write to those drives. I was hoping it would just let me read, but no such luck.
I was able to read it on a Windows machine at my neighbors so I know that the drive works.
I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

What should I format drive #2 as so that it will work on my Mac as well as his PC?
NTFS will be fine. you might want to uninstall the other NTFS apps currently on your Mac and install the _*NTFS 3G*_ driver instead.
alternatively, you could format the drive for Mac and install MacDrive or [_*HFS+ for Windows*_|http://www.paragon-software.com/home/hfs-windows> on his PC - @ your expense, of course

Using dscl to mount nfs from linux ...

I've been trying to figure out how to use dscl to add a bunch of nfs mounted filesystems to my iMacs. The NFS disks are on a linux cluster. By adding the NFS systems using the Directory Utility and then listing the changes with dscl I was able to replicate a lot of the necessary steps. I am still missing some pieces though.
So far I've got the following:
dscl . -create /mounts/host.server.ca:\/home
dscl . -append /mounts/host.server.ca:\/home VFSLinkDir /Network/host/home
dscl . -append /mounts/host.server.ca:\/home VFSOpts -P
dscl . -append /mounts/host.server.ca:\/home VFSType nfs
It looks like I also need a key called GeneratedUID but I have no idea how to create or retrieve the necessary value for that key.
Also there is the problem of forcing the system to see the changes. When I did this in the past with nicl (I've learned that this was pre OS X 10.5) I just forced the automounter restart with something like:
sudo kill -1 `cat /var/run/automount.pid`
Is this still the right thing to do?
I've googled and checked Apple's Command Line docs but I don't really find anything helpful. The mounts that I've added with Directory Utility work fine but I would like to be able to make these changes without actually sitting at each machine and going through the steps on the GUI. With a script and Remote Desktop it would take moments to add the mounts to all of the macs at once. There are many references on the web to doing this with nicl ... please point me toward instructions using dscl.

for the guid, you might try a routine that spits one out from /usr/bin/uuidgen. as far as i can tell, that should work. i haven't tested, though.
i'm also not sure if killing the automounter is the best way to go. check here for some details: http://managingosx.wordpress.com/2007/12/13/more-on-autofs

Best NFS mount options from Linux to Xsan?

So we are adding Linux clients to our network and I'm looking to learn the best NFS mount options to put in the fstab file. Right now they are set "defaults 0 0" and we are having problems. I assume because they are hard mounting. This is from the /proc/mounts file for one of the clients connecting to the Xsan:
10.X.X.X:/snet /snet nfs rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600, retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=10.X.X.X,mountvers=3,mountport=706,mountproto=udp,ad dr=10.X.X.X 0 0
Xsan 2.2, 2 MDCs running 10.6.4, Promise Array.

So we have finally solved this. It turns out that the defaults work just fine. Our issues were solved by changing which MDC was hosting the export, dividing up the workload a bit, our primary was running out of RAM.
Secondly, I added intr and soft to the NFS options, the smoothed things out further.

Can't mount NFS from my Arch laptop, am I missing something obvious?

Hello,
I have been trying to solve this issue for over a week and tried everything that I can imagine with no luck...
Set up:
- Qnap SS-839 Pro with several NFS shares on
/share/to_sort
/share/movies
/share/music
etc.
- MythTV frontend/backend running Mythbuntu.
I can mount my NFS shares without problem. I use this fstab.
192.168.1.100:/share/Music /var/lib/mythtv/music nfs nolock,async,proto=tcp,rw,ac 0 0
192.168.1.100:/share/Videos /var/lib/mythtv/videos nfs nolock,async,proto=tcp,rw,ac 0 0
- Arch laptop
I can't get to mount any of the NFS share:
[18:59:14][[email protected]]
/mnt/aether Arch64# /etc/rc.d/rpcbind restart
:: Stopping rpcbind [DONE]
:: Starting rpcbind [DONE]

/mnt/aether Arch64# mount 192.168.1.100:/share/to_sort/ to_sort/
mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.
mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified

/mnt/aether Arch64# mount 192.168.1.100:/share/to_sort/ to_sort/ -o no-lock
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
I tried using the 2 following lines in my fstab on my laptop but nothing works:
1) 192.168.1.100:/share/to_sort /mnt/aether/to_sort nfs nolock,async,proto=tcp,rw,ac 0 0 (same option than under mythbuntu)
2) 192.168.1.100:/share/to_sort /mnt/aether/to_sort nfs defaults 0 0
I'm no guru when it comes to nfs sharing etc, but I really can't see what I am missing here, nor whatelse can I try!
Any idea will be more than welcome!
Thanks in advance
Ludo

Can't Mount Internal Drive

I had a "blue screen" error earlier in the week. The internal HD passes all tests with no errors, but I cannot boot from it because it is not mounted. I can't mount it from Disk Utility because I cannot "Open disk image..." (the volume name is grayed out). I think it's a permission problem, but fix permissions does not correct it.

Disk is ~75% full - not an issue.
I don't have a Mac immediately available, but will when I get home.
Data is backed up except for a day or too, which I would like to recover if possible before erasing.
I went to the Genius Bar and they tried all of their tools without success. He did not try Target Disk Mode from another Mac, just worked from an external FireWire drive.
thx

Can't mount my NTFS ****

Knowing the fact that my new macbookpro can't write on NTFS hdd, I went to install NTFS Paragon 6.5 so that i can write on NTFS. (This version worked for a friend of mine)
But who knows after installing it, i realised my NTFS hdd now can't even be mounted. I then tried to uninstall this NTFS 6.5 but it says it is not installed, when the NTFS Paragon is still in System Preferences. I tried to uninstall/reinstall/delete/restart Paragon NTFS 8.0 and see if it fixes, and I found out that it still fail to mount my <edited by host> NTFS hdd (both my external NTFS hdd and bootcamped NTFS windows 7 hdd).
I used disk utility to fix but it just won't mount. It said "updating boot support partitions for the volume as required" when i repair it. I even format my drive with zero out data and reinstall my Mac OS X 10.6.7.
After all these steps, i still can't mount my NTFS hdd. Please help me as I am getting frustrated.

Uninstall Paragon if you can
Do a Apple Menu > About this Mac > more Information and scroll down where it says "Software" and click on it.
On the right will say "System Software Overview"
Look down to "64 bit Kernal and Extensions" It will say "Yes" or "No"
I think someone said Paragon only works with 32 kernal in Snow Leopard.
Reboot into 32 bit mode by holding 3 2 keys, this should make Paragon work until you get your files off, but you should uninstall it, it's not needed anymore.
(do get your machine back into 64 bit mode, boot holding the 6 4 keys)
Here is a free utility that enables NTFS read/write support in Snow Leopard.
It's a hack so know it might not work in Lion, but get you by for now.
http://ntfsmounter.com/
If all that fails, burn a ISO of PartedMagic to cd using Disk Utility. Windows 7 right click, or the free ImgBurn for Windows.
Hook up a HFS+ or exFAT formatted external powered drive to transfer files too.
Hold c/option and boot from the disk, install into RAM and the disk will spit out.
On the left is MountDevcies, doubleclick it twice to get two file transfer windows.
http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=screenshots
Use the third smaller window to mount your drives, use the file transfer windows to transfer data from the NTFS drive to the exFAT/HFS+ drive.
Once completed unmount the drive and use the lower left corner to exit and reboot. Linux reads and writes anything just about
From now on, format all your external drives to be used with PC's and Mac's as exFAT in Disk Utility (important!)
If you have a Windows XP machine, Microsoft has a free exFAT format to download. Vista and 7 should be fine.
Only Mac's with 10.6.5 and later can read/write exFAT, but exFAT allows larger than 4GB sized files and it the future cross platform disk format.
Don't need Paragon or other third party software anymore, likely why they didn't make a 64 bit kernal extension.
