I am not sure of belenix, since I am using OpenSolaris. It is possible that two packages from the Belenix project may already be included. These are prtpart and prtmisc. Just check with: $ ls /usr/bin/ntfs* $ ls /usr/sbin/ntfs* If you have ntfsinfo installed, run it to see if the extended NTFS partitions are visible. I had to install them manually for opensolaris. Check Pradhap's blog out here: http://blogs.sun.com/pradhap/entry/mount_ntfs_ext2_ext3_in I had some issues in compiling prtmisc, which i resolved from this thread: http://forums.opensolaris.com/thread.jspa?threadID=513 My feeling is, you have the above NTFS utilities installed, but you are not getting the exact partition to access. Just check these out with prtpart and retry a mount of the correct device/ partition. Bish
