Tag Archives: unknown filesystem type ‘ntfs’

Unknown file system type ‘NTFS’ on NTFS U disk mounted by CentOS

mount: unknown filesystem type ‘ntfs’

This is because NTFS formatted partitions are not recognized on CentOS

solution:
it can be solved by using ntfs-3g
open the download point of ntfs-3g http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/

Compile and install:

Storage location of source code

cd /usr/local/src/

Download the latest version of the source code package

wget https://tuxera.com/opensource/ntfs-3g_ ntfsprogs-2017.3.23.tgz

Unzip source code package

tar -zxvf ntfs-3g_ ntfsprogs-2017.3.23.tgz

Enter the extracted package directory

cd ntfs-3g_ ntfsprogs-2017.3.23

Generate configuration file

./configure

Compile

make

Installation

make install

This is the end of the installation

Then hang up the disk, this time hang up the U disk

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb

Why do I use/dev/sdb1 here to see it with fdisk – L

I have the following information on my side

Disk /dev/sdb: 31.0 GB, 31029460992 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3772 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes/512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes/512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 104 3716 29014016 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdb2 3716 3773 458751+ 1b Hidden W95 FAT32

So I hung sdb1, which is the NTFS

Unload U disk: after using U disk, you need to type the unload U disk command before unplugging it
the command is as follows: umount/MNT/USB

Before unloading, do not mount the current path on the U disk, but switch to another directory to unload normally

In addition, if you want to mount the sdb2 listed above, the command is as follows

mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/usb

I did the whole test under CentOS 6.10
