RE: NTFS filesystems

Arpotu:

        After we plugged it in, it created a /dev/sdc and /dev/sdc1 node (it had dual SATA drives already). When I tried to found the file system on /dev/sdc1 it came back with a message that NTFS wasn't a supported filesystem. It obviously could see the partition to detect it.

        This is a MAXTOR One-Touch 3, 750 GB. Is there a size limit on USBFS perhaps? This is straight from the factory.

        I know I can fdisk the /dev/sdc node, delete the partition there, and mkfs.ext3 on it, as I have on others. I was just looking for more "plug and play options" across platforms.

Are you sure your USB drive is NTFS? I thought those were USBFS...

Also, is it a U3 USB device? If so, look for other /dev/sd* devices defined when the device is plugged in. I found that, for my U3 device, two file systems were mounted, even when I'm not using encryption.

Do you need help?

The 2nd mounted file system contained the data I was looking for.
