Can Read But cannot Write

[kalpik]

^^ Just install ntfs-3g.. Kernel will NOT give you NTFS write support.. Only NTFS-3g will provide that..
*www.ntfs-3g.org

 

[The Outsider]

install fuse, fuse-libs, ntfs-3g, ntfsprogs & ntfsprogs-gnomevfs from your package manager, must be yast, search them and install, these are exact names just search.

make sure the partitions are unmounted, then issue this command as root

mount /dev/hdb1 /windows/C -t ntfs-3g -rw umask=0000

check if it gets mounted, if it gets mounted then for sure you can write too.

i guess no need to update the kernel when the thing can be done without updating.

Then, as others r saying, do install ntfs-3g!

 

[Manshahia]

Naa.
i installed both the packages, FUSE and NTFS-3g.
After Unmounting the C, i gave this command

mount /dev/hdb1 /windows/C -t ntfs-3g -rw umask=0000

It Said

Usage: mount -V                 : print version
       mount -h                 : print this help
       mount                    : list mounted filesystems
       mount -l                 : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
       mount -a [-t|-O] ...     : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
       mount device             : mount device at the known place
       mount directory          : mount known device here
       mount -t type dev dir    : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
       mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
       mount --move olddir newdir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using  -L label  or by uuid, using  -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].
For many more details, say  man 8 mount .

The changes i had made in FSTAB, sud i mke them default??

Please change "ntfs" to "ntfs-3g" in ur fstab and then try!

Naa.
i installed both the packages, FUSE and NTFS-3g.
After Unmounting the C, i gave this command

mount /dev/hdb1 /windows/C -t ntfs-3g -rw umask=0000

There's error with the syntax. umask should be specified after -o

 

[Manshahia]

^^^^^^
plz explain with correct syntax.

 

[kalpik]

mount /dev/hdb1 /windows/C -t ntfs-3g -rw -o umask=0000

 

[Manshahia]

it gave this error

fusermount: mountpoint is not empty
fusermount: if you are sure this is safe, use the 'nonempty' mount option
FUSE mount point creation error: No such file or directory
Unmounting /dev/hdb1 ()

 

[freebird]

umount -f /dev/hdb1
and try again mounting

 

[eddie]

mount /dev/hdb1 /windows/C -t ntfs-3g -rw -o umask=0000

rw is an option and should come after -o. the correct syntax would be

mount /dev/hdb1 /windows/C -t ntfs-3g -o rw,umask=0000

As for OP: Looks like your partition is already mounted using ntfs. You need to first unmount it and then try the new command.

 

[Manshahia]

^^
naaaa......
the partitions r unmounted.
when i give command umount it says partition is not mounted.

 

[eddie]

Then execute the command I gave you and if it gives you the same error again, then give me the output of this command

cat /etc/mtab

 

[Manshahia]

rw is an option and should come after -o. the correct syntax would be

mount /dev/hdb1 /windows/C -t ntfs-3g -o rw,umask=0000

When i gave this command

fusermount: mountpoint is not empty

FUSE mount point creation error: No such file or directory
Unmounting /dev/hdb1 ()

The outpur of mtab is

linux-zpzd:/home/manshahia # cat /etc/mtab
/dev/hdb10 / ext3 rw,acl,user_xattr 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs rw 0 0
udev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
/dev/hdb11 /home ext3 rw,acl,user_xattr 0 0
securityfs /sys/kernel/security securityfs rw 0 0

?????

Now i cant even Read my NTFS partitions.

 

[eddie]

Now i cant even Read my NTFS partitions.

Give output of

ls -l /windows/C

 

[Manshahia]

^^^ output is

total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-02-13 09:59 ravi

 

[eddie]

You have some how created a directory named "ravi" in /windows/C directory because of which fusermount does not find it empty. You need to erase that directory and then execute the mount command given to you earlier.

 

[praka123]

I think you can use ntfs-3g and turn off ntfs kernel modules using modconf.

~~#rmmod ntfs

and then make your /etc/fstab entry for ntfs drive as:

/dev/hdb1               /media/Windows          ntfs-3g auto,users,uid=0,gid=500,umask=000,rw   0 0

i Hope U already installed ntfs-3g.

 

[freebird]

^^ that seems to be a good soltn.

 

[Manshahia]

~~#rmmod ntfs

It said

ERROR: Module ntfs does not exist in /proc/modules

and then make your /etc/fstab entry for ntfs drive as:

/dev/sda1               /media/Windows          ntfs-3g auto,users,uid=0,gid=500,umask=000,rw   0 0

Done.

i Hope U already installed ntfs-3g.

Yeah i hav.
Which command to give now ??

I cant find any folder named ravi when i booted into windows.
Also how can b a folder created when i dont hav any write permission on the drive?? JUST ASKING YOU.
