[Solved] cp from mount ntfs to mount ntfs-3g

Hello.
I copied some files from a harddisk mounted with the option "-t ntfs" and now want to copy them back but I have to mount with "-t ntfs-3g" to have write access.
Some of the files are written in Portuguese and have special characters and accents.
When I try to copy the files back I have a lot of erros like this
cp: cannot stat `/mnt/pen/Users/Sónia/AppData/Local/Hist\363rico': Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
I have tried to mount the disk with the option "locale=pt_PT.utf8" in fstab but no dice.
Any help?
Thanks.

Hello,
you could try to convert the filename to 'UTF-8'. For instance, this can be done with 'convmv'.

That worked, the command I used
convmv --notest -r -f Latin-9 -t UTF8 Snia/*
Thanks a lot.

[Solved] Non-root user cannot access mounted ntfs filesystem

Hi -,
i have a dualboot system (arch/xfce + win7) and i use a ntfs partition /dev/sda2 to store files i use with both operating systems. I added the partition to fstab and it gets mounted, but i cannot access it with my non-root user. With root it works fine...
My fstab:
# cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
LABEL=home /home ext4 defaults 0 1
LABEL=root / ext4 defaults 0 1
LABEL=swap swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 /media/sda2 ntfs defaults 0 2
Is there any option that allows all users to use the mounted device? Or how is this usually done ...

See: NTFS-3G for important setup information.
My fstab line looks like:
/dev/sdb1 /media/Win_USB ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=0022 0 0
This sets up some important parameters which the NTFS-3G Wiki Page covers. Basically, "ntfs" is only a basic driver and is built into the kernel. "ntfs-3g" is a much better, and less disk-eating, driver that you should install and use if you need the drive in Linux any more than occasionally. My fstab line makes my user (1000) the owner and the masks lets me write and etc to it. When you install NTFS-3G it is automatically used when you use the mount command to mount NTFS drives. In fstab, as above, you would specify it explicitly.
You can find your own user number by entering "id" at a terminal.

"Lag" when Nautilus is opened with NTFS partition mounted

Hi, I have a problem with Nautilus 3.14. I have a mounted shared Windows partition with the options below in fstab:
defaults,nls=utf8,umask=000,uid=1000,gid=1000,windows_names,hide_dot_files,hide_hid_files
Everytime I open Nautilus, it "lags" (I don't know what to call it. It freezes and then be usable again for an uncertain amount of time). Tried to unmount the ntfs partition and it worked flawlessly. Nautilus' shell output doesn't show anything strange (just some random GTK warning).
This "lag" doesn't happen when I use Nemo. It runs well with the NTFS partition mounted.
Is anyone knows the solution or has the same problem?

I have made a badblocks scan before trying to use it and found no problem. I'll try again but I fear loosing data any moment now :-(((
Western Digital is great but every manufacturer ships out defective drives now and again. Run a hard test with Sea Tools or the WD equivalent and if anything comes up, call them immediately. Your drive is still under warranty if it's brand new so they should replace it for free.

Prevent Lion from automatically trying to mount Filevault 2 encrypted volume at startup?

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish: I need two separate partitions, one encrypted with Filevault 2 as a primary working partition, and a second token partition as a "decoy" of sorts, containing a pretty stock install and set as the default boot volume with automatic Guest account log on. In other words, you turn on the computer and it boots to a guaranteed sterile clean desktop. An unsophisticated snoop thinks that's all there is. A more-sophisticated snoop may notice that there's a second (encrypted) volume, but can't access anything without the password.
So I did a clean install of Lion, filling the entire SSD, and then used Disk Utility to shrink the main partition and create a 14 GB secondary partition. I then encrypted the main partition with Filevault 2 from within that logon. Then I rebooted from the clean install USB drive and installed a second instance of Lion on the secondary partition, set up the Guest account, and then set it for auto log on.
So far so good, however, every time I boot into what is supposed to be—to the casual observer anyway—the "decoy" OS, it helpfully throws up a big dialog box stating "Enter a password to unlock the disk '<Your Super-Secret Volume Name Here>'." which I then have to cancel. This is hardly helpful in disguising the fact that there is another partition on the SSD.
I've looked all over Finder's preferences and the System Preferences for a way to make this stop, but I can't seem to figure it out. Anybody know how to keep Lion from helpfully trying to mount encrypted volumes when it loads?
Thanks!

FYI, similar discusion here: http://discussions.apple.com/message/15744942
This is more of a workaround than a solution, but I ended up installing Snow Leopard to the "decoy" partition. It has no idea what to do with the encrypted partition, so it doesn't ask. Good enough for now I guess, but it would be nice if Apple made this configurable.

Using "nested" Mount Points within Mount Points to add additional LUNs to a server

I realize that this might or might not be common and I haven't read or seen anything about this. So here goes...
No clustering. Just a strightup adding LUNs to a server mount point.
I have no issues adding a lun to a mount point (folder on the C-Drive) called MountPoint1. I can build a folder within MountPoint1 and add another LUN to a mountpoint within the first called NestedMountPoint1. I can build another folder within NestedMountPoint1
and add another LUN to a mountpoint within the second called NestedMountPoint2.
c:\MountPoiint1 (500GB)
|-NestedMountPoint1 (300GB)
|-NestedMountPoint2 (300GB)
First, do people do this? (Is it a normal practice?) (Recommended?)
Second, If it is a normal practice, Is there a limit on how many you can nest?
I can see doing this to add storage to a drive. BUT...

Hi,
A mount point is just a logical way to present drives to a system without using drive letters. You can nest mount points, but it is recommended to use the root (host) volume exclusively for mount points. The root volume is the volume that is hosting
the mount points. This greatly reduces the time that it takes to restore access to the mounted volumes if you have to run a chkdsk. This also reduces the time that it takes to restore from backup on the host volume.
For more detailed information, please refer to the articles below:

After installing Mountain Lion doesn't external hard drives mount or stay mounted. Anybody else with this major problem?

After installing Mountain Lion doesn't external hard drives mount or stay mounted.
I have tried resetting my Mac's PRAM but the problem still remains.
Even USB memory sticks are unmounted efter a few seconds.
Anybody else with this major problem?

I have the same problem, although mine has not been solved by ESET update, finder settings, PRAM & SMC resets or anything else.
Don't get it, my external hard drive still works on both my housemates computers - one macbook pro (with snow leopard) and one dell, just not on mine with mountain lion.
Any ideas for me guys?

IMac intel core, 10.6.8 - isn't mounting my partioned iomega drive. How do i get it to mount and stay mounted?

iMac intel core, 10.6.8 - isn't mounting my partitioned iomega drive. It was mounting one of the partitions, but not the other one for a while. Then they both stopped showing up. I can not select the drive in Time Machine. I verified and repaired the iMac hard drive with Disk Utility. Then tried to verify and repair iomega drive in Disk Utility. It appears briefly but then disappears. One partition might be bad, what do i do? Then name of the partition changed to something like disk1:3 when it was called MAC. I want to see what's on it and ideally continue to use it as our backup in Time Machine. How do I get it to mount and stay mounted?

The usage figure reported by the activity monitor is likely to include only the core progam, the APIs that are being called and space for variables. FCP moves huge amounts of data around the system but, in general, I would imagine these are handled by the OS so would not (except maybe momentarily) be included in the acitivity monitor total.
If you have very little memory and it "runs out" so to speak, the OS will start swapping files on and off the disc which will slow the system down to a crawl if you have a standard hard drive. So with 16GB you have loads of room for the data transfers to take place quickly and efficiently. So, I would say you had not wasted your money! A very wise investment.

[SOLVED] Mounting /home on an NTFS volume

Hi all,
After having some issues with other Linux distros on my new laptop, I decided to give Arch a try -- after all, it seems like everybody who uses it loves it. For the most part, things went well, but after installation I noticed that all of my files are owned by root and sit in the root group.

Obviously, the permissions mean I can edit these files freely from my user account. But still, every other distribution I have used for a reasonable amount of time -- RHEL, Mint, OpenSUSE -- has set the owner, group, and permissions completely differently. Is this normal for Arch, or did something go wrong during my installation?

Much to the contrary graysky, it's not offtopic. It's why all the files in his home dir are root:root. As such, his whole point is moot.
Typical case of user error.
Even if you like NTFS, there's no point in using it over native Linux filesystems. There are only drawbacks to using NTFS on Linux. There are better ways to share your data than to make your homedir NTFS - like creating a separate data partition on Windows and mounting that somewhere on Linux (but NOT on /home).
rhallen: please change your topic title to reflect what's really going on . Now it's misleading.

How to : enumerate mounted vhd's, mount non-system vhd to ntfs folder?

Hi,
I need to enumerate all mounted VHD's and mount VHD into ntfs folder.
I've tried DISM, but it requires VHD with system volume ( i guess \windows folder ) but mine dont have one (and its not an option in my case).
DiskUtils seems lack of this functionality.
Any ideas?

I used to get the following error when I would attempt to mount it via the gnome panel:

[SOLVED!] Cannot select internal/external mounts .......

Greetings,
After being away doing some distro-hopping, I drifted back over to arch. Now I managed to work through many problems such as getting keyboard and mouse support without disabling hotplugging, and all of that, and am enjoying using ext4.
However there are two issues that I can't seem to overcome, and would greatly appreciate any help I can get in overcoming them...
1.) I cannot select internal mounts or usb cards or cd's, etc..
Basically I was trying to be able to mount/access my NTFS partition. At first I was getting that pesky "you can't do this, policy says no" error so I dug through wiki articles and forum posts. After following them (including doing computer restarts) I could not select either my ntfs partition or my mounted dvd disk. Basically what would happen is I would try to select it but my selection would bounce back to my home folder. No errors or nothing. It's like there is an invisible rubber force field preventing me from even thinking about touching those drives.
Now I have tried everything I can think of. I have removed everything I have done when following the wiki to get to a pre-trying to mount ntfs stage. Problem remains. I have dug through the wiki and countless forum posts trying out everything that looks feasible to my problem. Problem remains. I am now on day two, several advil later, and tired of hearing my computer laugh at me.... I really don't want to go through the whole reinstall trip... I already spent a lot of work before trying to mount my ntfs drive getting my computer just how I want it. So any help in fixing this without a reinstall would be most appreciative. I will admit that I am tired of digging through the wiki, so if you must point me back to it, please kindly clarify what I may have missed instead of saying "read this" because 9 out of 10, I have read it and it hasn't helped.
2.) How do I get wicd to auto start?
Ok so I have installed wicd as my network manager. I followed the wiki to the T and it works great. However every time I restart (which I did a lot of trying to fix problem #1) I would end up having to restart the hal and wicd deamons then start up wicd again... So how do I get wicd to autostart?
Thanks in advance for any and all help on these two issues. If I posted in the wrong area, please forgive me. However I feel that these are newbie questions...

I tried accessing with dophin. I would have tried with konqueror but as I recall konqueror now uses dolphin as kpart for file management so the results should be the same...

You should notice that I didn't add my ntfs partion to fstab as I read somewhere that with hot plugging you weren't supposed to...
Here's my rc.conf - daemons
# DAEMONS
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
# - prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it
# - prefix a daemon with a @ to start it up in the background
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network wicd netfs crond alsa hal kdm)
If you need the rest of my rc.conf, let me know. However I believe that only the daemons should matter with wicd...
And btw- thanks for your reply.
