NTFS Issue with ITB Seagate External HDD USB 3.0

Post by brunofporto » 2017/04/08 15:04:03

Hello,

I am having the same issue as this thread: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=54977&p=232475&hil ... tb#p232475

Even after I installed the ntfs-3g packages from the EPEL repo with the command:

Code: Select all

yum --enablerepo=extras install epel-release && yum install ntfs-3g
.

Thank you.

Does the disk show up in the output from dmesg ? It'll be near the end if you have only just plugged it in. If it does then it will tell you the drive it has been assigned - something like /dev/sdb - what does fdisk -lu /dev/sdX say (using that drive name from dmesg)?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Yes it does as sdc1.

Code: Select all

Disk /dev/sdc1: 1000.2 GB, 1000202273280 bytes, 1953520065 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 33553920 bytes
Disk label type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x6e697373

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc1p1   ?  1936269394  3772285809   918008208   4f  QNX4.x 3rd part
Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.
/dev/sdc1p2   ?  1917848077  2462285169   272218546+  73  Unknown
Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary.
/dev/sdc1p3   ?  1818575915  2362751050   272087568   2b  Unknown
Partition 3 does not start on physical sector boundary.
/dev/sdc1p4   ?  2844524554  2844579527       27487   61  SpeedStor
Partition 4 does not start on physical sector boundary.

Partition table entries are not in disk order
Also, this is what appears when I try to mount it:

What does rpm -q ntfs-3g say?
