 |
|
dear forum,
i just started out with gentoo, slowly figuring things out, but this i cannot get to work.
i have problems with my 2 sata drives and fstab.
when adding
/dev/sda1 /mnt/winxp ntfs auto,user,ro 0 0
to /etc/fstab i get the message
/dev/sda1 - special device does not exist
at boot.
yet, when mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt/winxp after booting as root it works just fine. but then i cannot access it as a normal user, only as root.
any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Edit your UDEV rules so that the sd* entries are right at the top

thanks for you help - in my /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules the "KERNEL="sd*" ..." now resides right on top, yet that didn't change anything about the booting behaviour.
anything else i could have done wrong? |

| I think the reason is that the ntfs support is only compiled as module and so you cant mount it at boot |
