Description Andrew Wafaa 2008-02-08 14:37:36 UTC
After formatting ext3 partitions system fails to mount NTFS partitions with the following error:

Failure occurred during following action:
Mounting /dev/sda1 to /windows

System error code was: -3003

mount -r -t ntfs -ousers,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022/dev/sda1 /mnt/windows:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1.
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so

Unfortunately checking kernel messages after accepting the failure shows no errors.
Comment 1 Elizabeth Young 2008-02-09 01:21:08 UTC
The mount command prepends "/mnt" to the mount point, causing the failure.
----
Mounting /dev/sda1 to /windows/C

mount -r -t ntfs -ousers,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022 /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows/C:

Should be:
mount -r -t ntfs -ousers,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022 /dev/sda1 /windows/C:

Bug 360566 includes a workaround for users and a summary of the problem with
further links and a reference to bug 354113 where the issue is being analazed
for ntfs-3g.

Indicated in this bug is also that the kernel ntfs filesystem might have problems as well, it is also discussed in bug 360566.
