Cannot mount NTFS partition!!!!!!!!

People I'm new to this ARCH world. I want to mount my XP partition(NTFS). I tried
#ntfsmount /dev/sda1 /mnt
But some errors are thrown on de console
fuse: unknown option "USER = root"
fuse_new failed
umounting /dev/sda1 ()
Now how can i resolve this problem to mount my ntfs partition in rw mode.

What is not working? Is it not r/w?
EDIT: Look into the possible use of ........mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdxx..... in /etc/rc.local.......
Not sure of the exact command but the idea is to make it r/w on every boot-up via rc.local.
Hopefully, other users can correct any discrepancy I have introduced.

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.

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

Cannot mount certain partitions: /dev/ entries do not exist

Hello all. Strange problem here. First I will describe my disk layout. I triple boot Gentoo, Arch, and FreeBSD. My partitions look like this:
/dev/hda = MAXTOR 6L040J2, ATA DISK drive 40GB
hda1 = shared '/boot' partition
hda2 = gentoo '/' partition
hda3 = gentoo '/usr/' partition
hda4 = gentoo '/home' partition
/dev/hdb = SAMSUNG SP0802N, ATA DISK drive 80GB
hdb1 = shared music partition mounted as /home/music on both Gentoo and Arch
hdb2 = shared swap partition
hdb3 = FreeBSD partition
hdb4 = logical Partition
hdb5 = archlinux '/' partition
hdb6 = shared video partition mounted as /home/music/video on both Gentoo and Arch
Now both gentoo and arch use devfs. From gentoo I can see all partitions in the /dev directory and mount accordingly, however, from Arch I cannot mount my gentoo partitions on /dev/hda, and in fact they do not even exist in the /dev directory. Only /dev/hda1 is visible (the shared boot partition which holds all my kernels regardless of distro).
Running fdisk -l /dev/hda from arch gives me this puzzling output:
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40027029504 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4866 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 4111 33021576 55 EZ-Drive
So it would seem that fdisk thinks that /dev/hda1 takes up the entire drive, and is labeled as 'EZ-Drive'?!?!?!?!?!? I can assure you that running the same command from gentoo gives me the correct partitions and disklabels ie: id 83 Linux
Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on here? This isn't really a big deal at this point, just an interesting annoyance that I would like to discover the cause of.
TIA

I don't know how it could be that the kernels interpret the partition table differently, and I'm certainly not sure that this is what's going on. That's why I suggested loading Arch with the Gentoo kernel. I wouldn't expect the system to be its true self, but merely satesfy the curiosity by checking whether it would see the right partitions (a.k.a. trouble-shooting).
It shouldn't be a problem to test this, unless your Arch root uses a file system that is not built into your Gentoo kernel. If for instance hdb5 is reiserfs and your 2.4 kernel has that as a module, you're probably out of luck regarding my suggestion. If this is the case, you could also try the Arch 2.4 kernel. It can coexist with your current kernel because the kernel packages for the two trees have different names.
pacman -S kernel
Hope this helps,

Problem accessing mounted ntfs partitions

Hi,
I have problems accessing ntfs partitions as a non root user. The user trying to acces the partition is in usergroup wheel and has sudo acces.
/etc/fstab looks like this:
/dev/sda5 /media/winC ntfs defaults 0 2
/dev/sdb1 /media/winD ntfs defaults 0 2
It does not matter where I mount them (e.g. /home/user/media/winC), if i try cd-ing into the directory, it tells me:
cd /medi/winC
-bash: cd: /media/winC: Permission denied
When i try the following, it tells me:
sudo cd /medi/winC
sudo: cd: command not found
which I find a bit strange, but ok.
Any pointers what I am doing wrong? cd-ing as root works, but i would like to acces it as a normal user too. Using the following options did not work for me:
rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,users,async
mount -l tells me the following when using the options stated above:
/dev/sda5 on /media/winC type ntfs (ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=0,gid=0,fmask=0177,dmask=077,nls=utf8,errors=continue,mtf_zone_multiplier=1)
Thanks for any pointers!

You should use ntfs-3g instead of ntfs. I'm not sure if that will solve this problem, though it might, but it will prevent others.
As for "sudo cp" failing, that is not odd at all: `cd` is not a program, it is a shell builtin - there is no `cd` binary for sudo to execute.
Thanks for the explanation. I will try ntfs-3g as soon as I manage to connect to the internet again.

Mount NTFS Partition

Hej!
How can I mount a NTFS partition under Solaris 10?
thx

NTFS = New Tecnology File System is completly different from the FAT32.
FAT and FAT32 is from the old DOS Systems. DOS was removed as a OS on Windows NT. Support for DOS remains in NT as a NTVDM. NT Virtual Dos Machine that runs as a Subprocess on top of the NT. kernel.
There exists a driver for the NTFS somwhere on internet, I tried it a copule of years ago on a Solaris8. The driver was then a readonly driver. I have lost the driver now, but info about it should be possible to find on internet with google or similar.
This applys to localy mounting a NTFS.
When mounting over the network, its different. The filesystem on the network does not use FAT or NTFS.
Insted it uses NETBios (MSB). Samba has a client for this, if I remember correct.
But it would be better install a NFS Server software on the Windows OS.

[SOLVED] Cannot mount ntfs drive

Every time I try to mount my Windows 7 hdd, I receive an error:
fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy
The commands I used to try to mount all resulted in the same error:
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs
sudo mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/C0940E83940E7BE2 /mnt/ntfs
Switching to root also did not remedy the error. Putting the entry in fstab does not mount it at boot, giving the same error.
fdisk -l reveals the following:

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
EDIT: Solution:
As it turns out, a couple years ago, I had a mirrored RAID. Even when got rid of the RAID, got a new drive, reformatted and installed Arch, my secondary, NTFS drive would not mount.
Here is exactly what fixed it:
Issuing the command `cat /proc/mdstat` shows all RAID arrays. Mine showed the following:
Personalities :
md127 : inactive sdb[1](S)
488386496 blocks
`sudo mdadm --stop /dev/md127` stopped the array.
`sudo mdadm --remove /dev/md127` removed the array.
new output of `cat /proc/mdstat`
Personalities :
unused devices: <none>
`sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/1` worked.

Udiskie mounts ntfs partition with permissions 700

External usb hard drive with two partitions, one is ext3 other is ntfs.
When I plug it in, udiskie nicely mounts both partitions, but the ext3 one is readable by other users (755), the ntfs one is not (700). Can I change this behaviour somehow, so that others (like mpd) can see the ntfs partition as well?

Upstream's answer:
There is currently no way to pass extra arguments from udiskie.
Implementation plan on this would be to add a config file with mount options for each filesystem type.

Cannot mount FAT32 partition

After updating my arch install a few days ago I cannot mount my FAT32 partitions. The partitions worked fine before, but now when I go to mount them nothing happens at all, not even an error. They use to automount. When I go to my computer I can see all partitions but when I click on them nothing happens. I don't see the partitions in the fstab either. The partitions work fine in windows so it is not the data, any suggestions?
Thanks in advanced.

B-tree error, cannot mount Lion partition, but can mount bootcamp partition. Unable to reformat because it won't mount. How do I reformat?

Hi everyone:
So earlier today I was taking a screen shot with (command+shift+4) and right when I took it, the spinning wheelcame up on the screen. It was there for a long time, so I decided to turn off my macbook by holding down thepower button. When I turned it on, it stayed at the grey apple logo with the loading circle underneath.
I turned it off again, and this time I started it into the Recovery HD. I ran a disk verify and it said my disk was corrupt and needed to be repaired. I tried to repair it and it said it could not be repaired. Next, I tried to erase the hard drive and it still didn't work because it cannot mount the hard drive.
The thing that baffles me is that I have 2 partitions on my hard drive, one for mac, the other for windows bootcamp and the windows hard drive is able to be mounted. I tried to completely delete the entire hard drive, but it won't let me. What are the next steps I should take into solving this problem? Any/All help is appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like the drive may be faulty or have suffered a problem. Bummer mate, but it happens.
Disk Utility won't let you do a complete erase? Probably not what you want to do anyway as you'd lose your bootcamp partition.
I would recommend you replace the drive and re-install OS X. Once they get faulty like this you're into a greatly increased risk window. You'll need to have a bootable DVD / USB stick of Lion or a RecoveryHD USB created by the Lion Recovery Assistant.
If the MBP is under warranty or you have Applecare you could get the drive replaced under warranty.
To retrieve your files and Apps etc you can restore from a backup, or if you don't have one then you could get a sata enclosure for the old drive and attach it as an external drive then attempt to copy the content from it once you've re-installed. Time Machine backups will make this much easier for you though.
For bootcamp, you're going to need a 3rd party program such as Winclone (www.twocanoes.com) to allow you to take an image of the bootcamp partition and restore it to the new bootcamp partition on the new drive.
I can heartily recommend the Seagate Momentus XT 750GB hybrid drive (ST750LX003) if you're going for a replacement. You won't believe the difference in performance it provides.
Good luck!

Cannot mount Windows partition with boot loader on Mac OS 10.8

I took out my hard drive of my Windows 7 PC, which has 3 partitions on it: C drive which contains the OS and the boot loader that the computer boots into, D drive which contains my data, and a third called "System Reserved" a few megabyte in size that I have no idea what so ever what it does besides that I cannot modify or delete it, which probably means that it is important. Now I put the hard drive inside an USB 3.0 enclosure and I am trying to mount this hard drive onto my OS X Lion Macbook air. Something strange is happening, in that the computer takes about 30 seconds or more to detect the drives presence, and then it just freezes after that. On the initial try, the system actually successfully launched DiskUtility, and I can see the drive mounted in the list of detected drives and 3 partitions "SD1, SD2, SD3" under that drive, but after repeating the procedure a few more times, nothing seems to be happening after the system freeze.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? I am trying to access the data partition for my stuff.
I have Tuxera NTFS installed, and I should probably also mention that my Macbook Air is mid 2011 with only USB 2.0 ports.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I figured out the freezing part; apparently, I had to connect to the USB port on the left side next to the power supply or the disk does not have enough power and causes the system to crash. So, now Disk Utility can see the hard drive with no problem.
But now, the partitions are detected as XFAT format and no volumes are mounted to the desktop. Disk Utility displays the disk description as:
Disk Description : INTEL SS DSA2M160G2GC Media Total Capacity : 160.04 GB (160,041,885,696 Bytes)
Connection Bus : USB Write Status : Read/Write
Connection Type : External S.M.A.R.T. Status : Not Supported
USB Serial Number : CVPO049000W0160AGN Partition Map Scheme : Master Boot Record
Why is the status "not supported"? How should I go about mounting the data volume so I can access the files on my Mac?

Mounting ntfs partitions at boot up read only and starting X at boot

Hi,
I want to mount my windos partition at boot so I can build a library in amarok without having to copy all of my music to my linux partition. However I only want to mount read only, as I don't want to risk messing the partition up. I followed the instructions on the wiki here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NTFS_Write_Support
And added a line in /etc/fstab "/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0333,dmask=0333,locale=en_PH.utf8 0 0" without quotations, but the partition was not mounted so I removed the line and now am back to my original /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/fl vfat user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults 0 1
I thought that I should change the numbers to 0 3 or something but I don't have a clue what they are for, could anyone offer any advice on how I should proceed?
Also X refuses to load at boot, I have to log in as root and run /etc/rc.d/kdm start. I have put kdm in /etc/rc.d and I changed my /etc/inittab default runlevel from 3 to 5. I tried also changing the login manager from xdm to kdm in the same file but nothing ahs made a difference. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Calef13

Thanks a lot for the speedy replies, this is a great community here btw, very helpful. You were right mixtr, I got away with just
"/dev/sda1/ /mnt/sda1 ntfs-3g user,ro,auto 0 0"
And adding kdm to the deamons line solved my problem. I was trying to add it to the rc.d file rather than the rc.conf
I had my doubts at first but I really like the fact that arch doesn't hold your hand and leaves everything up to you, I have already learned loads about the config files for linux among many other things and have come ot appreciate the lack of abstraction in arch. I really prefer this to previous OSes, but wish I had installed kdemod as the 'vanilla' kde from the repositories installs pretty much everything imaginable, but my system still runs very quickly.

Mounting NTFS on Solaris 10

How can i munt the NTFS partition of my Windows XP on Solaris 10?
Can somebody help me????
It can be possible?

Package FSWmisc now mounts NTFS partitions directly. No special mount_ntfs program required. It is based on Martin Rosenau's mount_ntfs. Package FSWpart comes with prtpart, which displays all the partitions, including extended partitions, and partition types.
