/etc/fstab problem
 

Im running redhat 8 dualbooted with xp and im trying to mount ntfs so i can browse my windows machine, the problem is I get an error message when trying to mount the drive.
It is something along the lines of......
Bad superblock on dev/hda1, incorrect fs, or too many mounted filesystems.
Thats not exactly what it says but its close enough, I think I'm just not entering the correct line in fstab ,yet everything I,ve ever seen says to enter the line like this.....
/dev/hda1/mnt/(directory)ntfs ro,umask=222 0 0
If that is not the correct line what is? I have already enabled ntfs support and it is listed when I do cat proc/filesystems...any ideas?

Can you sucessfully mount this partition from the command line as root?Also should you have had more spaces in making it cheers

Jamie...

is it a typo that there are no spaces between all the parameters there?

Muhahaa, beat Kewpie to it that time ;)

Jamie...

yeah but you just went in and edited it anyway....... those code blocks weren't there earlier

True, they were bold initially but looked a bit nasty due to browser line wrapping!
