Hi, I have a GPT partition like so:
#parted /dev/mapper/storagevg0-ntserveriscsi GNU Parted 1.7.1 Using /dev/mapper/storagevg0-ntserveriscsi Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) p Disk /dev/mapper/storagevg0-ntserveriscsi: 1100GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 17.4kB 134MB 134MB Microsoft reserved partition msftres 2 134MB 1100GB 1099GB ntfs Basic data partition (parted) q And I would like to mount the ntfs basic data partion. According to this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=945028 I can use losetup with an offset in bytes to find the ntfs data and mount it like so: r...@storage:~ #losetup -o 137216 /dev/loop2 /dev/storagevg0/ntserveriscsi r...@storage:~# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/loop2 /mnt/storage/ NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/loop2': Invalid argument The device '/dev/loop2' doesn't have a valid NTFS. Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around? Which doesn't work. Any ideas on how to find the correct offset in bytes? parted only prints it in MB, which I assume is an approximation. Or any other tips for mounting a windows created GPT partition?
