[SOLVED] Can't mount external hdd

cappuccino · 2023-10-09 16:44:55

After the latest update I can't mount 6 external HDD's. This is what I get:

An error occurred while accessing '1.8 TiB Removable Media', the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/sdc1 at /run/media/cappuccino/72E47B5A1C5880FC: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

Any thoughts?

NTFS?
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p2122577 (and see the rest of the thread, I don't believe that all out of a sudden nfs3 starts to expose dirty NTFS partitions)

Dirty NTFS partitions? What are you talking about? Plug'n'play? Will check. Thanks

That must be a joke. How it is possible that in 2023 one can NOT simply mount an NTFS external hdd? I do not have installed NTFS3, only NTFS-3G. What now?

Because it's a proprietary FS that MS cannot opensource because they stole it, so every support is reverse engineered.

ntfs3 is part of the kernel and the "problem"
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NTFS#U … rked_dirty or https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NTFS-3 … ilesystems

How come I was not aware I possess 6 dirty external NTFS hdd? Anyways, this mess happened after the update.

Wiki:

Damaged NTFS filesystems
If an NTFS filesystem has errors on it, NTFS-3G will mount it as read-only. To fix an NTFS filesystem, load Windows and run its disk checking program, chkdsk.

What errors? They were just fine a week ago.

Wiki:

Unable to mount with ntfs3 with partition marked dirty
When trying to mount a good NTFS partition (i.e. which successfully mounts with NTFS-3G and for which ntfsfix --no-action does not report any error), you may get the following error:

What the hell? Dirty? I just want to mount my hdd's like I did a week ago. Am I asking too much? How can one do that?

seth · 2023-10-09 19:34:58

The partition is apparently flagged dirty by ntfs3 because, as loq's link shows, ntfs3 now objects to an inconsitency that apparently even the native chkntfs ignores.
The wiki explains how to deal with that…

Revert back to the kernel you used a week ago and never update it again.

I think that's the first time I saw you snark
tbf, I sanitized my reply before hitting submit

? Not funny

Matter of perspective.
And you specifically asked "mount my hdd's like I did a week ago … How can one do that?" and the only correct answer to that very exact question is the one loqs gave you.
Otherwise straighten the partition(s), force nfs3 to mount them regardless or use ntfs-3g

I told you before, ntfs3 is part of the kernel.
Maybe start reading the things you're pointed at.

cappuccino · 2023-10-14 23:46:05

Solution:

ntfsfix -d /dev/sdx
