 |
|
Ok, I posted this over at another forum but still have yet to figure it out! I get this error when I try to mount my windows xp drive:
| Code: | # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs' |
And here is my /etc/fstab:
| Code: | # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.14 2003/10/13 20:03:38 azarah Exp $
#
# 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> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hdb2 /boot ext2 deafaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/hdb3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/hdb5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win auto ro,user 1 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
I am running kernel 2.6.9 and this is what I have done so far:
- recompiled the kernel with ntfs support by following the steps here but when I 'cat /proc/filesystems', ntfs is not listed like it says it should be
- emerged ntfsprogs
But after this I still get that same error when trying to mount. Any ideas?

You have to specify the filesystem type somewhere.
Either set it in fstab, where auto is generally not a good idea anyway, or on the command line - which you would normally only do for incidental mounts.
Either way, you must tell the system what to expect.
Set the FS type in fstab and use this command:
No more, no less.

changed auto to ntfs in /etc/fstab and same error. I think it has something to do with the actual ntfs support, since it is not listed in /proc/filesystems like it should be... |

Do you have NTFS support built in or as a module ?
If module, did you actually install the modules ?

no, I have it built in directly to the kernel, do you think I should try it as a module and then modprobe it and see if it works? I mean, it should work as built in, but it doesn't hurt to try I suppose....
EDIT: I added it as a module instead of built in, did make modules && modules_install, loaded the module and it works! Thanks. |
