Hi!

After today's update i am not able to mount ntfs partitions (different hdd's) on my et6000.

Giving "init 4" via console an starting enigma2 manually, I noticed that box freezes at message "[Harddisk] enumerating block devices...".

Can someone confirm that issue?

I can confirm it.
I just tried to attach my 2TB usb hdd with ntfs and fat32 partitions and the box hangs and the spinners appear.
The mount command shows that both partitions were successfully mounted:

/dev/sda2 on /media/sda2 type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type fuseblk (rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096)

But I can't use ftp to go to /media/sda1 or /media/sda2.
Total commander won't connect.
I also had to do init 4 and init 3 to recover.

Seems that ntfs-3g no longer co-operates with the new kernel. No idea what's going on there, tried recompiling it but that didn't help.

As a workaround, you can remove ntfs-3g using

opkg remove --force-depends ntfs-3g

This will fall back on the kernel's built in NTFS support, which is read-only, but appears to work.

You could also remove the "ntfs-3g" line from /etc/filesystems, that would give the built-in driver priority.

I did this, rebooted, attached my usb hdd with ntfs and fat32 partitions but only fat32 one is mounted.
Ntfs partition cannot be seen, it is not mounted at all.

Probably the kernel module isn't installed, run:

opkg install kernel-module-ntfs

Hey Milo,

the problem persists.

With "opkg install kernel-module-ntfs" HDD folder iss empty....,but it will boot with an attached hard drive NTFS

Hi guys,

for a simple but bulletproof quickfix/workaround

see here:

http://www.et-view.d...-3-3/#post11751

Just install attached IPK and you are fine agin with accessing ntfs hdd with READ-ONLY access trough kernel driver.

[pieterg]

care to enlighten us as to what that magical plugin does?

[MiLo]

@kaneguru: Your problem is something totally unrelated to this. From your output I gather that /dev/sdb1 is a FAT partition, not NTFS at all.

The NTFS mounting problem with ntfs-3g and the 3.3 kernel is that the mount succeeds without error, but any attempt to access it (e.g. ls /media/ or so) will result in the mount helper causing a hangup (you can kill the mount.ntfs-3g process to get out of it).

The workaround is to use the kernel module instead of ntfs-3g. If it does not work, you've probably forgotten something else.

Help

What no one knows the solution ?

[pieterg]

indeed, no one even seems to know there is a problem (ntfs-3g has not seen any updates since 2009, I doubt it is being actively maintained)

[Sjaaky]

It is maintained. The version in our image is from januari 2012.
http://www.tuxera.co...rogs-2012-1-15/

There are quite a lot of commits since the last release. I'll try the newest commit tonight.

[pieterg]

You are right, I was just looking at the wrong website:

http://freecode.com/projects/ntfs-3g

[Sjaaky]

Newest version has the same problem. Mounting the ntfs partition doesn't complete. The new mountpoint (/media/usb in my case) is registered and visible in /proc/mounts. But the mount.ntfs-3g process doesn't complete. According to strace it blocks while reading /dev/fuse.

[theparasol]

Stupid remark maybe but are rights ok for ntfs-3g user on /dev/fuse?

Edited by theparasol, 24 April 2012 - 20:12.

[pieterg]

rights will never cause operations to block, just fail.
