PseudoRandomDragon Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Downloaded and installed Captive ( http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ ) to get Mandrake to read the NTFS partition. The device is /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 (/mnt/captive-MENIE) , at least that is what I select when making a new hard disk on the desktop. I already included ntoskrnl.exe and ntfs.sys in /var/lib/captive . When I double click the drive to mount it, a window shows up, but nothing is there. Any idea what I did wrong?

cpugeniusmv Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 can you mount it from a terminal? is it in fstab? (i'm sorry if these don't pertain to captive-ntfs, i haven't used it yet...but they may :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoRandomDragon Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 In fstab, yes there is a line added for it: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/captive-MENIE captive-ntfs defaults,noauto 0 0 Like I said, it seems to mount fine, but nothing shows up.

cpugeniusmv Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 what happens when you (as root) do this? mount /mnt/captive-MENIE and then ls /mnt/captive-MENIE is it still empty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted April 4, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 4, 2004 AFAIK, captive-ntfs isn't needed to be able to mount (ro) NTFS partitions. Not sure if Mandrake has NTFS support compiled-into the kernel by default, but you should be able to set it up without captive-ntfs. If you want write access, then that will require captive-ntfs (I think). I don't have to deal with NTFS, so I have only been following Linux/NTFS news enough to not fall out-of-date. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoRandomDragon Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 When I login as root and try to do the ls command it says this: ls: reading directory /mnt/captive-MENIE: Operation not permitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
