problem mounting USB drive
Greetings! Please help with the following issue: I am trying to mount external USB Windows disk drive to my FreeBSD system. After connecting the drive, the following log entries are created: Aug 10 18:23:56 ott kernel: ugen2.2: Western Digital at usbus2 Aug 10 18:23:56 ott kernel: umass0: Western Digital External HDD, class 0/0, rev 2.00/2.40, addr 2 on usbus2 Aug 10 18:23:56 ott kernel: umass0: SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0x Aug 10 18:23:57 ott kernel: umass0:0:0:-1: Attached to scbus0 Aug 10 18:23:57 ott kernel: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0 Aug 10 18:23:57 ott kernel: da0: WDC WD16 00BEVE-11UYT0 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device Aug 10 18:23:57 ott kernel: da0: 40.000MB/s transfers Aug 10 18:23:57 ott kernel: da0: 152627MB (312581808 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 19457C) Mounting the drive gives the following error: # mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/ mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Invalid argument In the /var/log/messages the following message appears: Aug 10 18:27:40 ott kernel: mountmsdosfs(): bad FAT32 filesystem The drive is OK and works fine with Windows.

The fact that the drive is working on Windows does not mean it's FAT32 formatted. It may as well be NTFS formatted (man mount_ntfs).

OK Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully. NTFS volume version is 3.1. NTFS partition /dev/da0s1 was processed successfully. 3) Trying to mount again: # ntfsmount /dev/da0s1 /mnt/ Volume is scheduled for check. Please boot into Windows TWICE, or use the 'force' option. NOTE: If you had not scheduled check and last time accessed this volume using ntfsmount and shutdown system properly, then init scripts in your distribution are broken. Please report to your distribution developers (NOT to us!) that init scripts kill ntfsmount or mount.ntfs-fuse during shutdown instead of proper umount.

Re: problem mounting USB drive
or use the 'force' option
ntfsmount -o force, or something like that
then, it would mount normally (without forcing)
btw, I didn't check, is ntfsprogs' mkntfs (or whatever the name) working
now?

The extended partitions are done differently and are outside the partition table. I'm surprised if there's any problem mounting either msdosfs or ntfs 'drives' in 'extended partitions' nowadays? There certainly wasn't in FreeBSD 4.x, when I managed to get mount_hpfs going to salvage a number of HPFS 'drives', all of which lived in the 'extended partition'. The HPFS code (still in the source tree last I checked, but not compiled by default) was written by Semen Ustimenko [EMAIL PROTECTED], who also wrote the (then) NTFS code; the two shared lots of cut-n-paste. It's true that information on this is a bit sketchy and harder to find, but basically an 'extended partition' (in DOS parlance) uses one of the four slices on a disk, for example let's say ad0s2, and the separate 'drives' that might appear as D:, E:, etc to DOS/'doze would be then accessed as ad0s5, ad0s6 etc. At 07:58 AM 3/30/2007, =?ISO-8859-2?Q?Ivan_Zenzerovi=E6?= wrote: Hi, I'm trying to mount an ntfs drive with mount_ntfs.

Re: Mounting NTFS drive/partition

Re: Re[2]: Mounting a drive
Many thanks for reply Jerry, when I joined FreeBSD I had not realised that it was a Linux/ Unix forum, on quick inspection I assumed that the title referred to some kind of general help forum. There is such a proliferation of abbreviated titles that I am not always sure from titles of their purpose. My question referred really to Windows XP, as I am only just getting to grips with Linux.

Re: Re[2]: Mounting a drive
Keep in mind here without special device drivers (I've heard they exist but have never installed any of them) you will not be able to mount a Linux (linux uses several different file systems) partition under Windows XP. Disk Manager will allow an NTFS filesystem directory mount an arbritrary Volume (a file system windows supports, fat, fat32, ntfs, maybe hpfs) on your system to overcome the DOS (it is not a Windows limitation, Microsoft is still running a 16 bit world) limitation of 26 drives, 24 of which can be harddrives. Mounting isn't really a function of the filesystem (maybe in Linux it is???) but of the vnode system. It allows a device (any specially configured file) with a known structure to be referenced within the context of a root directory structure, superceding (non-destructively...) whatever was in the mounted directory prior to the mount. In other words it lets the partition (I'll keep the spcial files simple) be seen on a filesystem to people with the appropriate credentials, and by mounting say /foo with say the special file /dev/da0s1a anything in /foo will no longer be seen by the vnode system and instead anything on /dev/da0s1a will be displayed in it's place. It would seem that unless you are installing Linux on an Fat32 filesystem those partitions would be useless within windows. You wouldn't be able to even edit configuration files with Windows (the editors that come with windows) editors because they will add line feed (maybe it is carridge returns I always mess this one up) to the text and Linux won't like that. Any further help with Linux should be in another mailling list, but if you want to put FreeBSD on one of those memory sticks I'm sure we would try to help... Windows is just about useless, it doesn't even support the now 5 year old or so 64-bit processors... I highly doubt you will find anything but headaches doing what you seem to be attempting to do with Windows and GNUnix. good luck -brian --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hmm Disk Manager - Change Mount Point - Mount Volume to a Directory Unless I'm misunderstanding, that's what you're looking for on the Windows side.. -- Chris Quoting Jerry McAllister [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Many thanks for reply Jerry, when I joined FreeBSD I had not realised that it was a Linux/ Unix forum, on quick inspection I assumed that the title referred to some kind of general help forum.

Mounting a drive
Hallo Could someone explain exactly what is meant by mounting a disk. I understand that it is making a disk available for use, but would like to understand the implications of the term and what abilities it confers. Part of the purpose of the question is that I am trying to find out how I can have more partitions and detachable drives than there are letters in the alphabet.

Re: Mounting a drive
Hallo Could someone explain exactly what is meant by mounting a disk. I understand that it is making a disk available for use, but would like to understand the implications of the term and what abilities it confers. Mounting connects the mount point to the device driver. After the mount, references to the mount point, cause it to talk to the device driver. Part of the purpose of the question is that I am trying to find out how I can have more partitions and detachable drives than there are letters in the alphabet. I don't know what you mean by detachable drives - do you mean removable, hot-swap, unmount-able, whatever? Any drive - except root can be unmounted. You can mount only the filesystems you want to use at the time, regardless of how many physical drives are connected to the box. On each disk device whether single drive or raid, you are allowed up to 4 slices (1-4) and within each slice, 8 partitions (a-h). But, partition c is generally reserved. A partition is turned in to a filesystem with the newfs(8) utility. You can have as many drives as your controllers can talk to. Every filesystem refers to a single partition. A partition/filesystem is unseen by the system except for some utilities that talk to devices directly such as fsck(8) or dd(1) unless it is mounted. jerry Best Regards, Richard Shoebridge ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Trouble mounting Zip drive (solved!)
* Andreas Widerøe Andersen [2005-07-06 10:42 +0200] Hi and thanks for all help! Seems like I have found a sollution (thanks to this excellent tutorial http://freebsd.peon.net/tutorials/10/ and the help from the mailinglist members): I didn't follow this thread from the beginning, so I'm not sure if this was ever an issue, or if it has been discussed. But when I used ZIP disks some two to three years ago, I had some issues with password-protected and read-only disks. I found a solution for that sending raw commands to the device using camcontrol. If you're interested, I could try to dig up my notes on the matter. At that time there was no command line utilities I could find that would set these bits on the disks.
