 Posted: Wed Nov 19, 2003 4:29 am Post subject: Mounting NTFS |
 |
|
I'm been trying to get linux to mount my NTFS on my primary hard drive, currently i have my system setup like so;
| Code: | /dev/hda1 NTFS (System and Programs)
/dev/hda2 NTFS (Storage and Misc)
/dev/hdb1 Linux boot
/dev/hdb2 Linux Swap
/dev/hdb3 Linux Programs |
The message I keep receiving when I try to mount hda2 is;
| Code: | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2,
or too many mounted file systems
(aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
instead of some logical partition inside?) |
here's my fstab;
| Code: | # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.13 2003/07/17 19:5$
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> $
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hdb1 /boot reiserfs notail,noauto,noatime $
/dev/hdb3 / reiserfs noatime $
/dev/hdb2 none swap sw $
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom0 iso9660 noauto,ro
/dev/hda2 /mnt/storage ntfs auto,ro,users,users,umask=000 |
Can someone tell me why it isn't working???? |

here's a few things for you:
what command are you typing, or are you seeing this on boot (hence the auto)
try to comment out the fstab entry and do it manually
show me the output of:
#fdisk -l /dev/hda
#fdisk -l /dev/hdb

short answer, mount /dev/hda5
explination:
THe standard x86 (I think that is where it is defined, but i could be wrong) partition table can only hold 4 partitions. This was set in stone in the days when a copm had one os and under 10 MB HDD's. These are called your "primary" partitions and are assigned numbers from 1-4. The way we have overcome that is with so called extended and logical partitions. An extended partition is a primary disk acting like a virtual drive with its own sub-partitions called logical partitions. Logical partitions start at number 5 no matter how many primary partitions you have. There are newer ways including dynamic disks on windows NT/2000/XP, disklables(IIRC) on bsd, and lvm/evms on linux, but that setup is the classic and universal meathod, and is the most commen. The Itenium series uses a new system that supports like 128 partitions per disk.
