Hi Everyone
I'm new to this forum, but have been using Arch & Openbox for about 6 months now. Just love it !!!!
Anyway i am trying to mount an External HDD ( ntfs format ) and i get this error message
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
My fstab entry looks like this
# Mount External Hard drive
/dev/disk/by-label/Ext_HDD /media/Ext_HDD vfat users,exec,noauto 0 0
Any suggestions please ?
Cheers

It should read
/dev/disk/by-label/Ext_HDD /media/Ext_HDD ntfs users,exec,noauto 0 0if it's ntfs format. And if you want to have write permissions on it, you should have ntfs-3g installed.

library. Either mount the volume as root

Does it work as root?

Have you read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NTFS-3G ?

Yes i did read that and have changed my fstab to
/dev/disk/by-uuid/660134ED45189C0D /media/Ext_HDD ntfs-3g fmask=113,dmask=002 0 0
The External HDD now auto mounts but i still cant drag and drop any files as a normal user

Is it a problem with drag'n'drop or you can't copy with the commandline too?
Have you check the mountpoint?
if the parent folder that it is mounted upon has the proper user or group permissions, then that user or group will be able to read and write on that partition(s).
