Kris K. explained the problem earlier in the thread. The correct entry in your /etc/fstab should be somethig like bellow. I had a "2" in the 6th field (instead of "0" or leave it out); this causes the file system to be checked on bootup which fails with the ntfs file system. If you have this in your fstab, you should not need to mount it in your rc files. Mine mounts automatically with no problem with the following line: /dev/ad0s1 /windows ntfs ro 2 0 CHris Rich wrote: >On Fri, 26 Nov 2004 01:53:11 -0800, Kevin Smith <smithcam@adelphia.net> wrote: > > >>I am able to mount my windows partition manually by either: >> >> >> >>>mount -t ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /windows >>> >>> >>or by putting an entry in by /dev/fstab that looks like: >> >>/dev/ad0s1 /windows ntfs ro 2 2 >> >>and using command: >> >> >> >>>mount /windows >>> >>> >>-however, >> >>If I leave this entry in my /etc/fstab, the OS reports inconsistency >>errors on bootup when it tries to mount and goes into single-user mode. >>I then had to remount / for read-write and delete the line in the fstab >>before it would boot again. >> >> > >I put a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ that mounts my windows partition for me >not sure if it is the best way to do it but it works for me > >Regards > > > >>Am I using the wrong syntax for the fstab entry ?- also, why does it >>mount manually with no error - but complain at boot time ? >> >>-K >> >> >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > >
