Hi,
my NetBSD partition share the disk with two windows 2000 partions both ntfs.
i want to be able to mount the second partition, so that i can swap files as i
still use both systems, and i dont really want to have two copies of my mp3
collection.
I looked in the NetBSD guide and followed the section on mounting fat32
partitions. substituting MSDOS for NTFS.
fdisk output shows
# fdisk wd0
Disk: /dev/rwd0d
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 59560, heads: 16, sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 60036480
BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 1023, heads: 255, sectors/track: 63 (16065 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 60036480
Partition table:
0: OS/2 HPFS or NTFS or QNX2 or Advanced UNIX (sysid 7)
bootmenu: windows
start 63, size 21012957 (10260 MB, Cyls 0-1308), Active
1: OS/2 HPFS or NTFS or QNX2 or Advanced UNIX (sysid 7)
bootmenu:
start 21013020, size 20148660 (9838 MB, Cyls 1308-2562/50/1)
2: NetBSD (sysid 169)
bootmenu: NetBSD
start 41161680, size 18874800 (9216 MB, Cyls 2562/50/1-3737/25/1)
3: <UNUSED>
Bootselector enabled, timeout 10 seconds.
i then modified disklabel as follows
# disklabel wd0
...
16 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
a: 1615824 41161680 4.2BSD 1024 8192 86 # (Cyl. 40835 -
42437)
b: 3146976 42777504 swap # (Cyl. 42438 -
45559)
c: 18874800 41161680 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 40835 -
59559)
d: 20148660 21013020 NTFS # (Cyl. 20846*-
40834)
e: 14112000 45924480 4.2BSD 1024 8192 86 # (Cyl. 45560 -
59559)
i then added /dev/wd0d /NTFS NTFS rw,noauto 1 3 to /etc/fstab
when i type mount /NTFS i get the following error
# mount /NTFS
mount: mount_NTFS not found for /NTFS.
This suggests i've mucked up somewhere.
Any insites anyone?
thanks as allways.
Mark
