------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-10 02:38 ------- I encountered this bug as well (Mandrake 9.1RC2). I rebooted, and before doing anything else I attempted to list the contents of /mnt/win_c (my WinXP NTFS partition), worked fine. Then on a hunch I tried to use DrakFont to install my windows fonts, as I'd done that previously and it did not work...on clicking "Get Windows Fonts", the first bar progressed normally, but upon reaching the second step, (represented by bar #2), DrakFont froze up (bug #1984 describes the same problem). All attempts to kill the hung DrakFont process failed. I opened console and did another 'ls /mnt/win_c' and ls hung as described above. So, trying to "Get Windows Fonts" caused the problem for me. The only way to regain access to my NTFS partition is to reboot my machine (and while shutting down, there are several complaints about not being able to unmount the partition). I also tried copying the font files manually; this worked. So evidently it is not a problem with the filesystem. After copying the files over to my ext3 partition, I attempted to install them, and DrakFont froze yet again, only it didn't take my ext3 partition down with it like it did the NTFS partition. Hope this helps. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: NTFS mounts ok, but locks any application that trys to access it (bash, konquerer, nautilus). Cannot find any logs as to why this is happening. I am trying to mound a Windows XP NTFS partition on /dev/hda1
