Public bug reported: This is a bit of an odd one.
I have an NTFS formatted partition on an IDE drive and FUSE works perfectly here. (/dev/sdb3) I have an NTFS formatted partition on a SATA drive, and if it's not set to automount, I can mount it with either the mount command or by clicking on it in the file manager and it works perfectly. (/dev/sda1) But... If I add "/dev/sda1 /media/seagate ntfs defaults 0 0" in fstab to automount sda1 (the same line that works with sdb3): * I get all kinds of errors in dmesg along the lines of "Buffer I/O". * If I click on it in the file manager I get "Only root can mount /dev/sda1 at /media/seagate". * Trying to mount with "mount /dev/sda1" gives a message like "Error. Could not get device lock on /dev/sda1" about 5 times. * If I boot to the recovery prompt, I get an infinite scrolling screenfull of errors along the lines of "FUSE error. Can not mount file system at /dev/sda1 [123456]" fdisk -l does not show sda at all until I manually mount it (which I can only do by removing the fstab line and rebooting) after which it shows: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 182401 1465136001 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda4 * 1 1 0 0 Empty My fstab looks line like: /dev/sda1 /media/seagate ntfs defaults 0 0 I don't see any of these errors if I boot to Jaunty, and I've done a complete chkdsk and clean shutdown in windows. I'm on Kubuntu Karmic AMD64 KDE 4.3 libfuse 2.4.7-1.1ubuntu4(amd64) Any ideas gratefully accepted!
