** Description changed: Binary package hint: util-linux mount returns code 21, that includes 4 = ~"internal mount bug" when trying to mount ntfs partitions; even though fsck/ntfsfix/gparted/chkdsk all say the partition is good; even update-grub won't recognize the windows installation, some kind of kernel incompatibility? All possible mount avenues - - $ mount -a + $ sudo mount -a - $ mount -t ntfs /dev/sda7 /windows/E + $ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda7 /windows/E - $ mount -t ntfs -U <uuid> /windows/E + $ sudo mount -t ntfs -U <uuid> /windows/E - $ ntfs-3g [ <device> | -U <uuid> ] /windows/E + $ sudo ntfs-3g [ <device> | -U <uuid> ] /windows/E even right=click -> mount from gparted plus naturally automount at startup Including, after commenting the fstab entries, trying to mount from nautilus; every time return code 21; as one of the flags involves write access to mtab, I cleared the /etc/mtab.fuselock file that seemed to have appeared at one stage, although no difference; as should be normal, root - owner - has write permissions, so no apparent reason for the flag ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: mount 2.17.2-0ubuntu1.10.10.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-28.49-generic 2.6.35.11 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-28-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Apr 13 19:08:03 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Beta amd64 (20100406.1) ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, user) - LANG=en_US.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + PATH=(custom, user) + LANG=en_US.utf8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: util-linux
