Hi,
I keep getting errors like this when mounting my ntfs drives.
*Code:* $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0)
Failed to mount '/dev/sda6': Operation not supported
Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action:
Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by
clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows
taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly.
Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for
your own responsibility. For example type on the command line:
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda6 /home/sid/Drives/E -o force
Or add the option to the relevant row in the /etc/fstab file:
/dev/sda6 /home/sid/Drives/E ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0
My fstab is this:
*Code:*
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sda7 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /home/sid/Drives/Mybook vfat defaults,umask=000,users 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /home/sid/Drives/500g ntfs-3g defaults,umask=000,users 0 0
/dev/sda5 /home/sid/Drives/D ntfs-3g defaults,umask=000,users 0 0
/dev/sda6 /home/sid/Drives/E ntfs-3g defaults,umask=000,users 0 0
This fstab worked in my last installation, so any ideas on what my have gone
wrong?
