Writing to ntfs partitions?
Hi All, I am trying to help a friend recover her Wind0ws harddisk. I have a backup of all files on a UFS2 partition and I have a new and freshly partitioned/formatted harddisk with a number of NTFS partitions. man mount_ntfs mentions write support for ntfs partitions with some limitations, but I can't seem to write anything to any of the ntfs partitions :( I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone shed some light on this? Here is a transcript of what I've tried : [EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt/1]# uname -a FreeBSD Chemobox.An.LAN 6.1-RC1 FreeBSD 6.1-RC1 #3: Sat Apr 29 11:33:34 CEST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/src/sys/i386/compile/Chemobox i386 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt]# mount -t ntfs /dev/ad4s5 /mnt/1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt]# cd /mnt/1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt/1]# ls -l total 28596 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2560 Apr 22 2009 $AttrDef -rwxr-xr-x 0 root wheel 0 Apr 6 22:18 $BadClus -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel163920 Apr 22 2009 $Bitmap -rwxr-xr-x 0 root wheel 8192 Apr 6 22:18 $Boot drwxr-xr-x 0 root wheel 0 Apr 6 22:18 $Extend -rwxr-xr-x 0 root wheel 28966912 Apr 6 22:18 $LogFile -rwxr-xr-x 0 root wheel 4096 Apr 6 22:18 $MFTMirr -rwxr-xr-x 0 root wheel 0 Apr 22 2009 $Secure -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel131072 Apr 22 2009 $UpCase -rwxr-xr-x 0 root wheel 0 Apr 6 22:18 $Volume drwxr-xr-x 0 root wheel 0 Apr 6 22:35 System Volume Information [EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt/1]# mkdir test mkdir: .: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt/1]# mkdir test.dir mkdir: .: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt/1]# echo foo bar.txt su: bar.txt: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] /mnt/1]# mount /dev/ad4s2a on / (ufs, local, soft-updates) devfs on /dev (devfs, local) /dev/ad4s3d on /home (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad4s5 on /mnt/1 (ntfs, local) Thanks, Daan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

try using sysutils/ntfsprogs (as standalone utils set or via sysutils/fusefs-(kmod|libs) if you have 6.0+). ntfs kernel module really doesn't write anything, ntfsprogs also has limitations (man for details) but they're better than nothing -- Regards, Mirya ICQ #313898202 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can anyone shed some light on this? Can't myself shed any light, and I see that others are answering your question with ntfs info. However, if all else fails, and depending on the size of the partitions in question, you might be able to format one of them as fat32, copy the files over, then boot into Windows and use the convert command to ntfs. C:\Documents and Settings\User1convert /? Converts FAT volumes to NTFS. CONVERT volume /FS:NTFS [/V] volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon), mount point, or volume name. /FS:NTFSSpecifies that the volume to be converted to NTFS. /V Specifies that Convert should be run in verbose mode.
