NTFS on Firewire disk not mounted
Last modified: 2005-10-11 09:47:18 UTC
I have a firewire HD (250GB) using NTFS. On plugin this disk is not mounted: Oct 2 01:01:45 joachim hal-subfs-mount[7691]: MOUNT_POINT:: /media/USB-DISC Oct 2 01:01:45 joachim hal-subfs-mount[7691]: MOUNTPOINT:: /media/USB-DISC Oct 2 01:01:45 joachim hal-subfs-mount[7691]: NTFS partition detected. Mount readconly, if you want mount as rw add key 'volume.policy.mount_option.rw=true' to the device in HAL Oct 2 01:01:45 joachim hal-subfs-mount[7691]: Collected mount options and Called(0) /bin/mount -t subfs -o fs=ntfs,sync,ro,procuid.nosuid,nodev,nls=utf8 /dev/sdc1 "/media/USB-DISC" Oct 2 01:01:45 joachim udevd[2527]: get_netlink_msg: no ACTION in payload found, skip event 'umount' Oct 2 01:01:45 joachim submountd: mount failure, Invalid argument Oct 2 01:01:45 joachim kernel: NTFS-fs error (device sdc1): parse_options(): Unrecognized mount option procuid.nosuid. Oct 2 01:01:45 joachim kernel: subfs: unsuccessful attempt to mount media (256) I must have a known way to make this disk useable for root/normal users. I do not want to: automatic make this drive readable for everyone on FIRST plugin use mount -tntfs -oro,gid=users /dev/sdh1 /mnt I want to set this mode by hand in a known file.
If you want do this use fstab or/and udev. To change the mount commands is currently not supported. Christian: Is there anywhere a manual/readme how to set this with udev?
fstab does nit work, as the disk is not allways sdh. It depends on other USB/IEEE "drives" I cannot use Labels on NTFS disks. That whould help, but I beleve its far away from reality. So I thought of udev too, but did not find anyhing usefull.
The doc was not ready for final release of 10.0 but will be provided soon. Add your device to fstab. Don't use sdh but links in /dev/disk/*/. You can call udevinfo -q symlink -n /dev/sdh to see all available links. Also add special mount option 'hotplug'. This will avoid errors at boot time if the device is not plugged. So something like /dev/disk/by-id/ata-IC25N060ATMR04-0_MRG305KCJG115H /mnt ntfs hotplug,... should work. submount will leave the device alone if it is already mounted. Danny, is there no way to change subfs mount options for a certain device? Will this change?
There is a typo in the command for ntfs. This is already fixed for final. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 115806 ***
