Hello everyone,
I have a bit of a problem mounting to Firewire drive that I have. It's a NTFS filesystem, but I only need to copy files from it (so the read only isn't a problem).
I've installed the NTFS rpm, and checked my kernel acording to the "Linux-NTFS project" (I couldn't post a URL so you have to do a google on that topic). I followed the instructions to make sure the NTFS kernel was loaded.
Code:
[root@menace Desktop]# /sbin/modprobe ntfs
[root@menace Desktop]# dmesg | grep NTFS
NTFS driver v1.1.22 [Flags: R/O MODULE]
NTFS driver v1.1.22 [Flags: R/O MODULE]
[root@menace Desktop]# cat /proc/filesystems
nodev rootfs
nodev bdev
nodev proc
nodev sockfs
nodev tmpfs
nodev shm
nodev pipefs
ext2
nodev ramfs
iso9660
nodev devpts
ext3
nodev usbdevfs
nodev usbfs
nodev autofs
nodev lufs
ntfs
if I run "cat /proc/bus/ieee1394/devices" I see this:
Code:
[root@menace root]# cat /proc/bus/ieee1394/devices

So the disk is recongnized and working. Also in the
Hardware Browser I can see that it's listed under the SCSI devices as
sbp2 (and ofcourse under the firewire menu).
So I'm now tying to mount the drive by using:
Code:
mount /dev/sbp2 /mnt/dosc -t ntfs
Doesn't work of course. if I check the /var/log/dmes I can see this in the end of the file
Code:
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

my question is:
"How do I get this to work?"
My computer is a Dell Inspiron 5150 with nVidia FXgo 5200. I'm using Fedora Core 1 and Gnome 2.4.0
It was a long message but I really hope anyone of you out there can help a n00b like me. I'm very new to Linux, so bare with me if my questions might seem strange at times.
best regards
Stefan Andersson
