Currently am using debian testing. So far, I was using pmount to mount my usb drive without any issues (am also a member of the plugdev group).
Since a couple of days, pmount started failing. Before I explain further, the same drive can be mounted via thunar. This is the error I am seeing: $ pmount /dev/sdb1 mas NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around? NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around? Error: could not delete mount point: No such file or directory. I even formatted my pen drive, but the same problem persists. In fact, the drive is formatted for vfat, not NTFS. $ lsblk -o name,fstype,size,mountpoint,uuid NAME FSTYPE SIZE MOUNTPOINT UUID sdb 7.5G └─sdb1 vfat 7.5G 3BE4-3417 Could not find any bug reports about such an issue? Any pointers will be helpful. -- Sridhar M. A.
