[solved] Cannot mount NTFS partition
  • AlexSchenkmanAlexSchenkman May 2010
    Hello:

    When trying to mount an NTFS partition I get the followgin error:
    mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/winxp failed: No such device

    This is very strange, as I could mount it yesterday, :-P

    alesch$ sudo fdisk -l

    Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9726 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sda1 * 1 9725 78116031 7 HPFS/NTFS
    /dev/sda2 9726 9726 8032+ 83 Linux

    I've found the solution:
    I was setting the type to "ntfs". Leaving it "auto" works. It us FUSE mounting it.

    $ mount
    ...
    /dev/sda1 on /mnt/winxp type fuseblk


    $ cat /etc/fstab
    ...
    /dev/sda1 /mnt/winxp auto user,exec 0 3

    Ah. This is because NTFS isn't natively recognised but FUSE takes care of it with its own NTFS support.
