Hi,
I'm trying to mount a 4 TB drive (The Seagate Backup-Plus) on FreeBSD
9.0 Generic, using
mount -t ntfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt
It fails with:
g_vfs_done() da1s1[READ(offset=0, length=1042)]error=22
mount_ntfs: /dev/da1s1 bad argument
That's a strange length (1042). I would have expected a multiple of the
device blocksize (4096 in the case of the Backup Plus).
However, I can mount a 2 TB ntfs drive with no problem, using the same
command, and the 4TB drive checks out fine in Windows.
Does anyone know if this limitation exists, and if there is a
work-around? I only need READ access to this drive.
You can try the sysutils/fusefs-ntfs port; the ntfs code in the base system
hasn't had much work done on it lately.
