Root in file on NTFS

Hi!

I need to have root filesystem in file on NTFS. There is no problem with loading the kernel and initcpio (i use usb flash with fat32 for it). But i need to mount the root FS image from initcpio. I wrote a hook, but it does not work. It ends with:

kinit:unable to mount root fs on device dev(X,Y) (i do not remember the numbers)

Any suggestions?

I uploaded my hook there.

Re: Root in file on NTFS

Your initcpio hook appears to mount the ntfs partition: what do you have in /etc/fstab, and you have this ntfs hook added before the regular filesystems and after the hook for the sata hook?
