ntfs-3g error

[goyfilms]

hi!
when I try to mount a NTFS partition:

ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2

I got this error:

Code: [Select]

error opening '/dev/sda2': Permission denied
Failed to mount 'dev/sda2': Permission denied
Please check 'dev/sda2' and th ntfs-3g binary permissions,
and th mounting user ID. More explanation is provided at
http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged

I tried a lot of things, but I can't solve it.
Any idea?

Did you try the method mentioned in the info tab of the app in AppBrowser?  It indicates that sudo is used.

If I do:

sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2

it returns:

FATAL: Module fuse not found.
Failed to write lock '/dev/sda2': Permission denied
Error opening '/dev/sda2': Permission denied

It might be useful to know more about your system, storage and app. 

Which version of TC/MC are you using? 

Post the output of:

Code: [Select]

blkid -o list | grep /dev/[hs]

The reference to the missing fuse module looks suspicious.  Try

Code: [Select]

ntfs-3g
This will display the app version and also some information about fuse and configuration.
   

[goyfilms]

Code: [Select]

blkid -o list | grep /dev/[hs]
returns

Code: [Select]

Invalid output format list.  Chose from value, device, or full
if I write only "blkid" it returns:

Code: [Select]

/dev/sda1: TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda2: TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="GOYFILMSUSB" UUID="D415-643C" TYPE="vfat"

and "ntfs-3g" returns:

Code: [Select]

ntfs-3g: No device is specified.

Ntfs-3g works fine here with a Windows XP ntfs partition on a hard drive.  

By being sda, it appears like a usb or external hard drive is being used, though that may or may not be part of the issue.

Code: [Select]

blkid -o list | grep /dev/[hs]
returns

if I write only "blkid" it returns:

Code: [Select]

/dev/sda1: TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda2: TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="GOYFILMSUSB" UUID="D415-643C" TYPE="vfat"


A couple of odd things...

Code: [Select]

blkid -o list | grep /dev/[hs]
Is regularly used here and never fails with

invalid output format. Chose from value, device, or full

Code: [Select]

blkid --help
shows -o list as a standard option.

Code: [Select]

blkid
When issued without any options this should produce a many more entries than the those that you report.

What version of TC/MC are you using?

A couple of odd things...

What I find odd is the absence of LABEL= & UUID=

I am using a remastered version based on TC 2.5

I am using a remastered version based on TC 2.5

As this is not in use here and the command outputs differ, I will withdraw at this point.

My experience is similar to this; ntfs-3g works well.  It is also successfully mounting multiple NTFS partitions on a local USB disk.

I think I haven't the fuse module and I don't know how to get it
I tried to download ntfs-3g and fuse sources and compile them but the result is the same
probably a kernel problem?
I don't know what to do...

FUSE is built in, in both 2.x and 3.x.

Hi goyfilms
See if this helps.

Try using a real TinyCore release instead of a remastered version.
Do you still have the problem?

Do you refer to a remaster of yourself or a 3rd party distributor?

Do you always load tce-notify before any other extension?
