Hi folks, I plugged in a seagate expansion drive 1Tb into my linux server for backup purposes but it is unable to mount it. I can see the expansion drive in My computer but when I click on it, it says unable to mount, device already mounted or busy.
Windows can read the hard disk with no problems. It is ntfs formatted. I installed ntfs kernel and fuse.
I'm unable to mount one of ntfs file system drive since the system got turned of while copying few files to this drive.
I just installed 11.3 x86_64 and had it automount my existing NTFS partition. The problem is that I can't write to it (create files/folders) as a user - only as root. So I know it's not mounter read-only (e.g., due to errors) or else root wouldn't be able to create files.

Reading http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/c/5/9c5b2167-8017-4bae-9fde-d59... on page 47 the interaction between the SMB drivers (srv.sys on SMB 1.1 and srv2.sys on SMB 2.0) and the NTFS driver (ntfs.sys) is noted.
What is the read and write size of these drivers?
What is the best stripe size for a file server?
Thanks,

I have an NTFS partition which I use to store data and which is shared between Linux and Windows. When I got to the disk partitioning stage of the install, I was unable to set a mount point (or anything else) for the NTFS partition. Not a problem particularly because I was able to manually edit /etc/fstab to automount the NTFS partition once F17 was installed.
After install of Win 8 Pro, Fedora 17 is unable to mount NTFS drives. I was able to do that before. I was using Win 8 pre release before in dual boot and everything was ok with fedora and NTFS mount. It all started with the official Win 8 Pro install. I have 2 HDD in NTFS the Win 8 host and a second empty but formatted NTFS.
I used Ping Linux 8 months ago to create a ghost-like image of my primary partition. (Windows 7 on NTFS) The image is on the second partition of my hard drive (Western Digital 250 gig)
I need to restore now, but Ping is unable to mount the volume. In fact, it will not mount any volume or perform any new backup.
I have 4 NTFS partitions.
I have made 2 users.One myself(Admin) and one for family(standard/non-admin)
I successfully restricted the access to my home folder from this standard user.Now i want to restrict it from accessing ALL my NTFS partitions.
How do i do this??
I checked this link.But though the answer is accepted it doesnt seem to have helped that OP either as seen in the comments later.
