[SOLVED] ntfs-3g mount: problem with /dev/fuse

[Spoza]

woohoo, great!

[juusso]

Spoza, can you test it?

[Spoza]

Okay, I'm a Linux n00b, don't know if I did it correctly...

Made a backup od the original ntfs-3g and replaced the file... unmounted the volume (mine is sdb1) and tried to mount again...

Code: Select all

source /dtv/SGO.env
ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /dtv/usb/sdb1
/mtd_down/widgets/user/SamyGO/SamyGO/opt/privateer/usr/bin/ntfs-3g: line 1: syntax error: unexpected "("

Strange thing is that the USB stick DOES mount and work (as read-only of course) when I simply connect it to the TV...

maybe you forgot to set the permissions of ntfs-3g to be executable? (777)

[juusso]

Code: Select all

ntfs-3g: line 1: syntax error: unexpected "("

This usually indicates incompatibility of binary, not the permission error.

@arris69 ?

[arris69]

eeee... can you explain this "not commented shock" a bit for us common people?

not so important, but can you pls. send me the files what you have installed on your tv (ntfs-3g) and the one what you backed-up. to arris (at) gmx.at

thnx

[Spoza]

Okay, thanks for (indirectly) pointing me to my endless stupidity... even after 25 years in the computer industry...
So, this time I unpacked both files CORRECTLY from the tgz... :-\
However, still can't make it work...

ntfs-3g DOES have executable permissions:

Code: Select all

ls -la opt/privateer/usr/bin/ntfs-3g
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     0           42200 Jan  1  1980 opt/privateer/usr/bin/ntfs-3g

and then...

Code: Select all

umount /dtv/usb/sdb1
source /dtv/SGO.env
ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /dtv/usb/sdb1
Failed to write lock '/dev/sdb1': Permission denied
Error opening '/dev/sdb1': Permission denied
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Permission denied
Please check '/dev/sdb1' and the ntfs-3g binary permissions,
and the mounting user ID. More explanation is provided at
http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged

don't know what /dev/sdb1 permissions is it talking about... because doing simple mount works fine (read-only - why? it uses some other ntfs module?!)

Code: Select all

/bin/mount /dev/sdb1 /dtv/usb/sdb1
