I've got an external backup disk that I use for backup. As it's living
in a primarily Microsoft desktop environment, it's formatted NTFS for
easy retrieval in case of failure.
/etc/fstab entry:
/dev/sdc1 /backup ntfs-3g
defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,noauto 0 2
Mounts fine.
/dev/sdc1 on /backup type fuseblk
(rw,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)
Now I want to create a new directory ...
mkdir -p '/backup/Wednesday/user/projects/YEAR 10/01/06 Jan 2010'
mkdir: cannot create directory: `/backup/Wednesday/user/projects/YEAR
10/01/06 Jan 2010': Operation not supported
Debian lenny, up to date.
Any ideas??
That's weird.
Is it complaining about the path? can you make those directories one at
a time?
Can you write to or touch any file on disk?
Was it an unclean dismount earlier which left the drive needing a
chkdisk/scandisk ? Look in syslog output.
And the final one - can you make those directories from a windows box?
