Unable to mount NTFS volumes in Mandriva 2009 Power Pack_(64-bit)
 
I am new to Linux and I am using Mandriva 2009 Power Pack(64-bit). I am not being able to mount NTFS volumes. It shows following error when I try to mount.


"An error occured while accessing 'volume(ntfs)', the system responded:
org.freedesktop.HAL.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied: Device /dev/sda8 is listed in /etc/fstab. Refusing to mount."

It seems you dont have the mount/unmount permissions on your user account.

So you are trying to mount your "/dev/sda8" partition, you should try that with root.
Open a terminal and type:

Code:
su -c "mount /dev/sda8 /mnt/sda8"
But you have to first create the /mnt/sda8 directory.

Thank you for your suggestion.
I had the root permissions. I got it mounted using "force"!

Please post the contents of your "/etc/fstab"file.

Problem is solved!
Once I force-ably mounted the volumes, from the next reboot they are getting mounted automatically.

Force mount in mandriva
 
Try this, if your file system is ntfs

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/dname -o force

OS= CentOS 5.3


Code:
[root@Wazirkutz ~]# mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/C -o force
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'
[root@Wazirkutz ~]# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/C
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'

Filesystem
 
It seems you dont have kernel support for ntfs file system type
