NTFS signature is missing, Centos7, emergency mode,

[ghainz]

Hello,
I am a beginner regarding linux.
My server, Dell T20, does not start any more. I intended to mount an usb-stick in order to copy the startup log file to the stick in order to send it to the forum.
I tried to mount the stick, but the a.m. error occured.
fstab entry: /dev/sde /mnt/usbblau ntsf rw,users,umask:0000 0 0

Can anybody help?
Thanks,
ghainz

If that's a cut-and-paste, you've got a typo: "/dev/sde /mnt/usbblau ntsf rw,users,umask:0000 0 0" should be "/dev/sde /mnt/usbblau ntfs rw,users,umask:0000 0 0".

Thanks, but sorry I cannot see any difference.
It is not a cut-and-paste, because i had to type it from the screen of the linux server(emergency mode).
Could you please explain?
Thanks.

As MartinR tried to say, ntsf isn't a file systen I've ever heard about.
Are you sure it's /dev/sde and not /dev/sde1?

[MartinR]

See the highlighted word. Your quoted text had ntsf, it should be ntfs, you've reversed the "s" and "f". If this were cut-and-paste, then that would mean you had an error in your fstab. However, since you've copied it from the screen it may just be a copying error. Worth a check though.

Thanks,
I checked fstab and there I typed it right: ntfs.
Sorry.

Who can help me further with the ntfs signature is missing problem.

[MartinR]

See Tunk's message about /dev/sde1. Trying to mount a physical disk instead of a partition could easily trigger the message.

Also why are you adding it to /etc/fstab in the first place? If it's just a temporary mount to copy stuff onto then just mount it manually. Adding an entry to fstab and getting it wrong is enough to put you into emergency mode in the first place!

[ghainz]

Before I jeopardize the system more I would like to to use a temporary mount.
As I mentioned, I am am a beginner.
Please tell how to do it.
Thanks

e.g. mount -t ntfs /dev/sde /mnt/usbblau and the -t ntfs is optional as it will auto-detect supported filesystems.

To mount NTFS filesystems on CentOS you will need to install the ntfs-3g package from the third party EPEL repository. NTFS is not supported out of the box on CentOS. If you don't currently have EPEL installed then you can install it using yum --enablerepo=extras install epel-release
