M_R Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) Hello, after addressing the problem descibed in this post: https://mandrivausers...-to-ntfssolved/ I got a weird beavior: 1 - I have 2 NTFS partitions mounted in /mnt/windows and /mnt/data. 2 - When I umount both partitions, everything goes well. 3 - If I use mount /mnt/data as root the partition is successfully mounted. 4 - If I use mount /mnt/windows I get this error "mount: couldn't find /mnt/windows in fstab or mtab" 5 - If I use mount /dev/sda2 instead of mount /mnt/windows, the partition is successfully mounted. 6 - Both entries appear in fstab. The problem seems to be the name. If I tell mount to mount the folder /mnt/windows, it doesn't work, but if I call it /dev/sda2 it works. Also, the entries in fstab are identical for both partitions. What could the problem be? [moved from Software by spinynorman] Edited January 27, 2011 by M_R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Can you post the contents of /etc/fstab so we can see more info. Maybe something in here as awry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Permissions issue, maybe? # ls -l /etc/fstab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_R Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I solved the problem doing the following: * I deleted both entries in fstab * Then I deleted the folder in the filesystem * I then re-created everything using MCC. * Everythong goes well now. Thank you for your support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
