Hi list!
I have a 3TB usb drive with an NTFS filesystem on it, that I can't mount.: [bent@bnlaptop ~]$ sudo /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt Failed to read vcn 0xf28: Input/output error Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': 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.
On a Win7 machine there are no problems and chkdsk can't find anything wrong with the filesystem.
I can mount 1TB drives using ntfs-3g without problems, so the driver doesn't seem to be the issue.
I've tried both CentOS6.2 and Fedora16 with the same result.
Any suggestions?
with kind regards, Bent Terp
