Need help with mount, fstab and mtab [solved]


Recommended Posts

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?
