[SOLVED] Mounting ntfs partition in centos

cent_uries@yahoo.co.id · 02-01-2012, 03:22 AM

Dear All,
i'm newbie on linux,just now i've solved out my lost windows grub setting helped by brother johnfine, again thanks brother..
now i mount the ntfs to /dev/hda2 /media/winxp, after "nano" the /etc/fstab. it's run well, but i didn't see my documents folder and others which is placed on "c:\" in windows version..
Again i'd like to inform you, that i'm not so good in english, then please forgive any unwise and maybe not polite words.
please see below partition:
df -l
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
17870152 4402712 12545024 26% /
/dev/hda6 101086 24550 71317 26% /boot
tmpfs 512716 0 512716 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda2 8393960 1842956 6551004 22% /media/winxp

and this is 'fstab' configuration:
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 /media/winxp ntfs-3g rw,umask-0000,defaults 0 0

now what should i do..thank you in advance.

Hi there, please when posting data output please use the BB codes in this case [ CODE ] and [ / CODE ] without the spaces.

Now about the fstab try this:

Code:

/dev/hda2 /media/winxp ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

or simply

Code:

/dev/hda2 /media/winxp ntfs defaults 0 0

or

Code:

/dev/hda2 /media/winxp ntfs-3g rw 0 0

Code:

/dev/hda2 /media/winxp ntfs rw 0 0

fukawi1 · 02-01-2012, 04:47 AM

Is it possible that the Documents and Settings (or whatever its called these days) directory is located on a separate partition?

Looks like you have the "recovery" partition mounted !!

maybe, but base on this, could you tell me where it probably located..

Code:

[fernando@localhost ~]$ df -l
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
                      17870152   4400196  12547540  26% /
/dev/hda6               101086     24550     71317  26% /boot
tmpfs                   512716         0    512716   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda2              8393960   1842960   6551000  22% /media/winxp
[fernando@localhost ~]$

really i'm newbie, please guide step by step..

df will only show you mounted filesystems.

Code:

fdisk -l

will show you all partitions.

Many OEM's will create a separate partition for "recovery" files, in order to restore your computer to its original software/OS. I am assuming this is what ukiuki is referring to.

I would suggest you use the "-h" option with df, which will show you human readable (MB, GB etc) filesystem sizes.

Unless I am mistaken, (its been a long time since ive done anything with Windows), i would imagine that the normal C:\ windows partition, would be /dev/hda1, but checking "fdisk -l" should confirm this.

ukiuki · 02-02-2012, 12:31 AM

If you have gparted installed its a good program to visualize and manage partitions.

Tq fukawi,
but i got this,

Code:

[root@localhost /]# fdisk -l
bash: fdisk: command not found
[root@localhost /]#

what should i do..

fukawi1 · 02-03-2012, 12:27 AM

I am guessing your $PATH is incorrectly set, that is why fdisk wont run.
It should look something like this.

Code:

fukawi1 ~ # echo $PATH
/opt/e17/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:~/bin/:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/usr/bin/

fdisk is typically located in /sbin, so ensure that is in your path, or specify the full path.

Code:

/sbin/fdisk -f

/sbin/fdisk -f[/code]

dear fukawi, it's done..hehehehe

Code:

Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/hda7            6134        8683    20482843+  8e  Linux LVM

what should i do now

fukawi1 · 02-03-2012, 01:15 AM

Well there are three MS partitions there. Chances are they have filesystems on them.
Try mounting them and looking through them for the "Documents and settings" or "Users" directories.

cent_uries@yahoo.co.id · 02-03-2012, 01:54 AM

thank you all linuxer's
i've solved this problem by "nano" the 'etc/fstab'. set fstab to the right drive,

Code:

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/hda5       /media/winxp    ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

the wrong in the last was

Code:

"/dev/hda2       /media/winxp    ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

once more: thank you for every body, for your kindness.
