newbie vs fstab. fstab wins :(
 

Hi all....

I have two partitions (ntfs) that suse wont mount i have tried to do them myself but they wont work :(

They are hdf1 and hdf2....i looked at my fstab file and copied what was present for the other mounted windows partitons, but it does not work. :(

/dev/hda6 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hda2 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/hdb4 /windows/D ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap pri=42 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0
/dev/hdf1 /windows/E ntfs ro,users,gid=users,unmask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/hdf2 /windows/F ntfs ro,users,gid=users,unmask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0

Sorry formatting is a but scruffy.

i have managed to sort it myself...although im not sure how. i deleted the last two entries rebooted and then reentered them and now all is well..

bizarre

Try removing the nls=utf8 option, maybe there not using the same encoding?

You had unmask option in your first try. It should have been umask.
