Description Charlie Barfield 2010-09-19 09:41:18 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 SUSE/3.6.10-0.3.1 Firefox/3.6.10

i have tried UBuntu and i see my data there so i know it works in linux.

the installer has completed my installation and has created directories in /media/xxxx named after the Label of my Ntfs drives.

however over bootup, it produces a list of:
ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: device or resource busy
as it processes Fstab.

afterwards i created another Ntfs partition on the linux drive (named it Linux) in windows 2000 and this one is seen and does work.

the normal (non root) user is logged in (me) and i choose dolphin and click on the label of my NTFS drive and it says i need root permission to mount drive.
after opening dolphin as root and clicking on the label of the drive i get the above error once more.

b1 label is FIRST
b2 label is STATIC
neither are browsable.

some other people in forums have had this problem and have found it mounted in /windows/C (etc) however it mounts it in /media here. and others have found they have had problems only after useing newer versions of suse and single didget versions are ok.

/dev/sda2 /media/SWAP ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/sda3 /media/WELL ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0

yes i did try copying the Linux drive to the others and it dont work.
the reason why i have placed it in installation is because it should have worked right from installation....

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install linux
2.
3.
Actual Results:
error trying to read Ntfs partitions

yast2-storage does not create mount-points for NTFS volumes in /media but in
/windows with ntfs-3g for the file-system. I have made a test installation and
the NTFS volume is mounted correctly at boot. It also mounts correctly when I
change the file-system from ntfs-3g to ntfs and the options to the once in
comment #0.

I don't know who creates the mount-points in /media. Maybe hal or the desktop
environment do that. On my test installation they are not present. Anyway,
even the /media entries in fstab look correct.

Looks more like a problem with the NTFS driver.

Comment 3 Charlie Barfield 2010-10-09 10:42:01 UTC

i wrote additional information on this bug in Bug 645196.

my suse LIVE CD which is a different version does access drives correctly.

Comment 4 Jeff Mahoney 2011-02-09 17:02:41 UTC

Can you provide the output of dmesg after you see this?

Comment 5 Charlie Barfield 2011-04-03 02:16:36 UTC

i would like you to see bug 653081 because it does seem related, apologies that i neglected to tell this.

the SUSE live CD is version 11.2.

Comment 6 Charlie Barfield 2011-04-03 02:25:29 UTC

i had removed 11.3 in favor of 11.2 because bugs do not appear there. if i got some spare muck-around time then i will try 11.4 dualbooting.

Closing due to lack of response.  If this is still an issue, please reopen with
