Public bug reported: Ubuntu release: 14.04 LTS Package version: ntfs-3g 1:2013.1.13AR.1-2ubuntu2 I expected my 2Tb external hard drive to mount just like my other two 1Tb external drives, but it didn't. Instead, the drive icon appeared in the task bar, from which I could only select 'Open', not 'Unmount'. Trying to open it, nothing happened at all. Merged lshal.txt, devices.txt, dmesg.txt and udev.log into the attached file. The device that won't mount is /dev/sdb4, labeled DATA_4 ck-list-sessions : doesn't seem to produce any output id haldaemon results in: id: haldaemon: unknown user uname -a results in: 3.13.0-32-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 03:51:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Tried to get 'hal debug output' but the hal process wasn't found. fdisk -l results in the following error:
Error mounting /dev/sdb4 at /media/jote/DATA_4: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sdb4" "/media/jote/DATA_4"' exited with non-zero exit status 13: Error reading bootsector: Input/output error Failed to mount '/dev/sdb4': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details. I tried "ntfs-3g" instead of "ntfs": same error. I ran chkdsk /f in Windows and rebooted twice: still no result.
