I am sure it works! In my fstab I write /dev/sda1 /media/data ntfs-3g user,rw,auto 0 0 You have to check first: that the directory /data exists and that it is read/write fur user otherwise you can check the boot-logfile (in var/log/boot.log) first and see wether it was mounted correctly or wether you got an error.Try as root wether you can find any content in /media/data and wether you can write something into it.

webster what kind of install do you have ? Unless you have a conventional hard drive install or add home= to bootcode on a frugal hard drive install and you saved the filesystem when you log out your fstab changes will not survive a reboot. Verify your fstab entry works before you shutdown as root mount -a
Hey, I just installed Slitaz 2.0 on one machine here. Works fine except i cannot mount the ntfs partition. Neither with the mount tool nor manually. Using PCMAN I get an error that i saw in other posts Erreur org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure (twice)
when i type this command manually it says "invalid argument". When adding it to etc!rcS.conf it says the same at boot time And when i type the command from a root shell: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /media/winxp it says nothing but the partition is not mounted I also tried a line in /etc/fstab with /dev/hda1 /mnt/harddisk ntfs-3g user,rw,auto 0 0
and still nothing happends
/mnt/harddisk and /media/winxp directories exist
anything obvious i am missing here ???
(not sure what i may need here, but if i type modprobe -l | grep fuse or modprobe -l | grep ntfs then in both case it does not return anything. Could there be a problem with ntfs-3g not installed properly ??)
I found the solution to that problem The XP session had been put to hibernate I am guessing that as a protection linux refused to mount the partitition. Once the XP session has been shutdown properly, i could mount the ntfs partition.
I was having the same problem today. Checked this forum and found the answer - a hibernating windows partition won't mount! The error message is obscure (no such device), but it basically means you have to shut down your windows partition before you can mount it in Slitaz.
Thanks for this oldish thread, I can stop tearing out my remaining hair...
