Problem accessing mounted usb disks

Postby poluser » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:28 pm

Greetings to all!

I installed the latest build on my new Odroid-x board. I installed SLIM et XFCE and now have a full working unit with a video out on my HDMI monitor. Following the ARCH guide, I created a new user account in which I log in at boot.

When I plug my external usb disks, they show up under the /media folder but they are both empty. One is a NTFS formatted WD external disk (3TB single partition), the second is my old ubuntu SATA disk connected through a SATA/USB interface (EXT4, 2TB 4 partitions). I see the first disk under /DEV (sda, sda1) but the ext4 disk only shows sdb, sdb1. I do not see the 4 partitions.

I tried to install fuse to manually mount the drives and then set proper permissions but I get a FATAL: module FUSE not found.

pacman -Sy fuse installed fuse-2.9.1 but modprobe fuse returns FATAL: Module fuse not found.

I am not a beginner with linux but I am no expert either.

Searched this forum and the web for a couple of days but cannot find a working solution.

Any genious out there?

That probably means that I forgot to throw fuse into the kernel... I have a big project at school that I've been working on for about the past 12 hrs straight.

/me is just glad he's on vacation!

Thank you for your reply. Is there any chance we can do it yourselves?

Problem was solved by recompiling kernel manually with changed config. Now it works great, though ntfs-3g gives me error while accessing NTFS drives formated on Windows machine(I have no idea why it is happening) but it doesn't complain when I format drives with mkfs.ntfs( And they are accessible on my Windows PC) :)
