Guest floydfan Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 HI! I recently setup fstab to mount my windows partition with read and right permissions using Captive software. Everything went ok, but when i dont use the partition for a while it automatically unmounts or something. When i try to ""cd"" to the mount point and ""dir"" i get this error message. dir: .: Transport endpoint is not connected . Here's a copy of my fstab: /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/sda5 /mnt/hd ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=utf8,sync 0 0 /mnt/hd/mandriva-powerpack-2007-DVD.i586.iso /mnt/mandriva-powerpack-2007-DVD.i586 iso9660 noauto,loop 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/win_ vfat umask=0,iocharset=utf8 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda2 /mnt/win_c captive-ntfs rw,auto,user,uid=ben,gid=ben,umask=000 0 0 sda2 is the partition i am having trouble with.... Thanks for the help in advanced! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Captive is a disaster- under any aspect. Drop it IMMEDIATELY, and use ntfs-3g instead... it works very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patkos Csaba Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I agree, user ntfs-3g it works perfectly for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest floydfan Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Kinda funny. I did drop captive and installed ntfs-3g. When I try to mount i get this fusermount: 'fuseblk' support missing; try the kernel module from fuse-2.6.0 or later I installed the latest version of FUSE using this method ./configure --enable-kernel-module make make install I don't think the fuse kernel module is getting updated. I think it has something to do with Mandriva using compressed modules and it wont overwrite it's self. I tried to rmmod fuse but that don't work either.

ffi Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 How about urpmi dkms-fuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest floydfan Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Thanks very much. I tried that before BUT i forgot to rmmod fuse before I installed. Doing that first did the trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 In some kernel revisions, ntfs-3g may fail to umount at system shutdown- so to be on the safe side, umount your NTFS partitions manually BEFORE you shutdown... The issue is known and I guess a workaround is on the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
