[DESKTOP] ntfs volume stopped mounting

[millusions]

hey!

i have a weird issue where a removable hard disk stopped mounting with taskbar applet for some reason, it worked ok till now.
its ntfs formatted ..
fstab:
UUID=20744AE54ED684D7 /mnt/liebe ntfs-3g noatime,noauto,uid=zzz,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=0 22,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0

mounts fine with sudo cli

and the other drive in screenshot is also ntfs and mounts ok with taskbar applet?
/mnt/liebe on fs has right permissions



where did i go wrong?

if you read your error you will see that you need to be root to mount that device. ( why it works with sudo)

you need to allow that device to be mounted by users . you can do this by adding the option user to that device in your fstab.

user - Permit any user to mount the filesystem. This automatically implies noexec, nosuid,nodev unless overridden.

try this line and see if it works for you

UUID=20744AE54ED684D7 /mnt/liebe ntfs-3g noatime,noauto,user,uid=zzz,gid=users,fmask=133,dm ask=0 22,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0

thanks for the suggestion,
but no dice!
recompiled ntfs-3g with fuse support from source,
removed .debs first
no dice!
backuped up compiled one and re-installed from
repos,removed entry from fstab - thats the only thing that works
i just dont get it that something that worked for months now all of a sudden stopped
doesnt matter, just means its mounted in a diff place - all good

That's normal. We don't allow HTML in forum posts here.

However, I do think you're having problems with carriage returns...

One of the main reasons for Device Mounter's existence is to avoid having to create fstab entries. Mounting will just work. To test this, I wiped a spare external drive, created a new partition table, created one partition, and placed an NTFS file system on it. Then I unplugged it, waited a few seconds, and plugged it back in. The Device Notifier dutifully popped out, I opened the drive in Dolphin, and wrote some files. All good. No fstab mucking needed.

yea. my chrome went a bit spastic there..

as for the mounting, well, i like to have things mounted in /mnt, its no biggy.
its just strange that it worked for a long while now and all of a sudden it doest,
i still think linux is the b0mb he he

[millusions]

btw Steve, I do remember your comments on Linux and NTFS security handling, so i thought fstab would handle that better?

but. its all good. ill see how it goes for now, so far no issues

Steve, can the udisk rules change the location completely?

Something like:

ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem", ENV{MY_MOUNT_LOCATION}="1"

in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-udisks2.rules and then set the variable somewhere or even just change the system default variable? Just curious.

Steve, can the udisk rules change the location completely?

Seems that's possible, yes. I Googled a bit and saw some guidance. Note that the rules will be different depending on whether you want to use Udisks, as you did (and which Device Notifier uses) or Udev. A Udev example: http://fabianpeter.de/in-a-nutshell/...or-usb-drives/
