Mounting a folder in NTFS Partition with ntfs-3g
If
ocs_prerun="sudo su -;rm -r /home/partimag;mkdir -p /home/partimag" ocs_prerun1="ntfs-3g /dev/sdb2 /home/partimag" mounts sdb2 as /home/partimag How can I mount sdb2/Clones as /home/partimag? Thanks. P.S.: When I try sudo su - rm -r /home/partimag mkdir -p /home/partimag mkdir -p /tmp/local-dev ntfs-3g /tmp/local-dev/Clones /home/partimag I am getting Is a directory error. |
If I got this right, you want to mount a directory called "Clones" which is located on your sdb2 partition. First of all, you need to mount the filesystem of the device sdb2 somewhere, eg /media/sdb2. Then you need to mount the directory "/media/sdb2/Clones" to your mountpoint, eg /home/partimag. I think this is done with bind mount option. Check the man page of mount tool.
Code:
mount --bind /media/sdb2/Clones /home/partimag |
Thank you for your reply.
So even if the folder 'Clones' is in an NTFS partition, as long as I have mounted the partition with ntfs-3g, I can still use (or have to use) the 'mount' command to mount the folder? |
I always use
Code:
mount -t ntfs-3g /path/to/device /mount/point |
mount --bind worked.
First, I have to mount the partition with ntfs-3g and then mount the folder with mount. In two steps instead of one. ntfs-3g /dev/sdb2 /mnt mount --bind /mnt/Clones /home/partimag I was worried that if I didn't use ntfs-3g, it wouldn't be writeable. The thing I learned is you cannot mount folders with ntfs-3g, just partitions. But after you mount the NTFS partition with ntfs-3g, you can mount a folder inside that partition with mount. Thanks. |
