There's the culprit (just a guess).

trouble mounting partition on hard drive

2005-02-05 Thread Brian John
Hello, I am unable to mount one of my ntfs partitions.  When I try to 
mount it I get this:

# mount /hd2_4
fstab: /etc/fstab:12: Inappropriate file type or format
fstab: /etc/fstab:12: Inappropriate file type or format
mount: /hd2_4: unknown special file or file system
Here is my fstab file:
# DeviceMountpoint  FStype  Options Dump
Pass#
/dev/ad0s1  /windowsntfsro  2   0
/dev/ad0s2b noneswapsw  0   0
/dev/ad0s2a /   ufs rw  1   1
/dev/ad0s2e /tmpufs rw  2   2
/dev/ad0s2f /usrufs rw  2   2
/dev/ad0s2d /varufs rw  2   2
/dev/ad0s3  /shared msdosfs rw  0   0
/dev/ad1s1  /hd2_1  msdosfs rw,noauto   0   0
/dev/ad1s5  /hd2_2  ntfsro,noauto   2   0
/dev/ad1s6  /hd2_3  ntfsro,noauto   2   0
/dev/ad1s7  /hd2_4  ntfsro.noauto   0   0
/dev/ad1s8  /hd2_5  ntfsro,noauto   0   0
/dev/acd0   /dvdcd9660  ro,noauto   0   0
/dev/acd1   /cdrom  cd9660  ro,noauto   0   0
/dev/fd0/floppy msdosfs rw,noauto   0   0

If I put a little 'xx,' before 'ro' on the /dev/ad1s7 line, then I get 
this message:
# mount /hd2_4
mount: /hd2_4: unknown special file or file system

A little bit better, but it still doesn't work.  I can mount my other 
ntfs partitions on that drive just fine.  I've tried playing around with 
fstab quite a bit, but to no avail.  Any clue how I can get this drive 
to mount?  One thing that my be worth noting is that I have hidden and 
unhidden this particular partition before using partition magic in 
windows, could that have anything to do with it?

Thanks
/Brian
