M_R 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M_R 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
