 |
|
I recently installed ntfs-3g so I can fix my broken windows install, but I have come across quite a few problems. it installed fine, but I cant make it work!
when I run" ntfs-3g /mnt/sda1 /win" it returns:
| Quote: | # ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /win
Failed to open ntfs attribute: No such file or directory
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': No such file or directory
|
I am running 64-bit if that makes any difference. help is greatly appreciated. |

| I forgot to mention that I tried the latest ntfs-3g and the latest stable version, both have this error. the drive mounts fine for read only when i mount it regularly, and sda1 does exist. Does ntfs3g not like sata drives? I dont see how that would be the problem because its not a device driver, it is simply a fs driver. |

Hi cakofony,
I installed ntfs-3g-1.0 and I put this in /etc/fstab:
| Code: | /dev/sda2 /mnt/winxp ntfs-3g user 0 0
|
I use it to make it possible to use my scanner that is not supported
in Linux.
I made one scanned picture in XP and saved it on /dev/sda2.
I can load it into Gimp in Gentoo Linux modify it and then save it.
The modified file is there alright although I haven't checked it in XP yet.
In my kernel config I have ntfs filesystem support and ntfs write support enabled.
I am not sure this is really needed.
Edit: I run 32bit.
Edit: I checked the file in XP and it is there without any problem.
Now this is a picture in which I drew a line,but I am sure it will work for text.
Did you install "fuse"?
Gerard. |

I usually run ntfs3g-1.516 without a problem. This weekend I updated to 1.616 (or 1.616-r1, I'm not sure) and it stopped working. When I tried to manually mount a drive I was given an error about ELF headers. So I went back to 1.516 and all is well.
What version are you trying? |
