I want to mount my second hard drive, it has one partition on it, a NTFS partition.
i have made a dir in /mnt/<New Drive>
I whent back to root dir and typed: mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/<New Drive>
this gives an error: wrong FS type. Is this not possible, mounting a NTFS partition in Fedora C2?
and then see if ur user can acess the partitions
also write support fror NTFS is not good in linux, u just can replace file and cannot create, a new file
Distribution: Fedora Core 2, DeLi Linux 0.6.1, Slackware 10.0

Rep:
hi
correct me if I am wrong but the -r option is for read only filesystem.
Copy from "man mount": -r Mount the file system read-only. A synonym is -o ro.
Try the -w option instead.
Anyway write access is dangerous on ntfs file system.
I use the following in my fstab:
"/dev/hda6 /mnt/windows ntfs ro,umask=0222 0 0"
and it works fine, without write access.
You may also add your user "uid=admin" after the "umask=0222".
hi
try changing the permisions after entering the root account and then
in ur browser go to the directory where u have the drive mounting ur ntfs partitons
now i beleive u can see ur files from root???
so riht click on the directory where ur ntfs Fs is mounted and
try changng permissions from
ther
give read access to "others" also
it is unfortunate that this does not work out for u
but as i said earlier i am using the NTFS driver after i compiled my kernel for it
so might this be making any difference???
also i too have seen such problems before that the empty space reported is not correct, but it happens to be okay next time reboot
and they do happen later also
