August 2, 201213 yr I am setting up an unRAID server and these forums haven been great! Up to this point, so-far so-good. However, I have run into a problem I cannot figure out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have put an NTFS drive into the unRAID server and followed the directions in the Configuration Tutorial to copy files from an internal hard drive. At the unRAID linux command prompt, I type... fdisk -l | grep NTFS and get... /dev/sdc1 * 1 243202 1953512448 7 HPFS/NTFS I then create a place to mount the drive by typing... mkdir /mnt/imported_files Then I try to mount using... mount -r -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /mnt/imported files and I get this error... wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found is syslog - try dmesg | tail or so I have searched the forums and in general on Google and cannot figure out what the problem is. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
August 2, 201213 yr Author Thanks for the quick reply. Still no luck though - I get the same error when trying to mount. Here is the log from dmesg command... NTFS-fs error (device sdc1): is_boot_sector_ntfs(): Invalid boot sector checksum NTFS-fs error (device sdc1): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Primary boot sector is invalid NTFS-fs error (device sdc1): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Mount option errors=recover not used. Aborting without trying to recover NTFS-fs error (device sdc1): ntfs_fill_super(): Not an NTFS volume. I then tried using -o errors=recover and the third line is replaced with this... NTFS-fs error (device sdc1): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Could not find a valid backup boot sector. That does not look promising. Thoughts? Thanks.
August 2, 201213 yr Try using the ntfs-3g driver. (you'll have to install it, but you can do that through unMENU.) Joe L.
August 2, 201213 yr Author No luck. Get the error "The device '/dev/sdc1' (or 'dev/sdc') doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS." I guess maybe I am out-of-luck on this one?

Then it is not a valid NTFS file system. It is something else. You did use the correct command right? mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/mountpoint-you-created (note the type is "ntfs-3g") did you try mounting it as an hpfs file system? (not sure if unRAID has an hpfs driver, but it might) mount -t hpfs /dev/sdc1 /mnt/mountpoint-you-created Joe L.
August 2, 201213 yr Author I did try mounting it as HPFS as well - still no luck. I think I am giving up and just going to put the drive in a USB3 enclosure, hook it to my desktop and copy from there. I hate giving up because figuring it out is half the fun, but this one is killing me! Thanks for your help.
