problem with mounting NTFS

[wysiwyg]

Good afternoon all!  I am trying to mount an NTFS partition in both the 32 and 64 bit variants, but noticed something is wrong... I can mount in 64 bit like:

Code: [Select]

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/test
If I try that in 32 bit, I get an error stating:

mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-3g'

I checked the file sizes of both binaries and noticed that the size is quite reduced in 64 bit version over the 32 bit.  Can anyone confirm if this problem is on their system as well?  I am using 7.x btw.

Thanks!

Did you install the ntfs-3g package?

I just checked and this works in both x86 and x86_64:

Code: [Select]

$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3
..after first loading the ntfs-3g extension

Yeah the ntfs-3g package is installed.  I am not sure what's going on...  I'll do some more digging.

Thanks!

Have you tried ?

Code: [Select]

sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3
P.S.
It seems that on 64bit, fuse.tcz is a dep.
On 32bit, however, I found nothing.
Perhaps you could try loading fuse ?

Hey polikuo!

I can mount that way just fine.  I can also mount via mount.ntfs, but just not using the '-t' switch to the mount binary for some reason.

I am working on a project and was trying to make a uniform method of mounting NTFS partitions (hence 'mount -t ?')...

Thanks though!
