Post subject:  Automount NTFS drive?
I have an annoying problem.
I have a 750Gb USB drive connected to my KM machine.
And i added this:

/dev/sda1 /myth/usb ntfs-3g defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1

in my fstab.

It wont mount when i boot. i have to do a "mount -a" for it to mount.
Is there any way to get it to mount on boot?

I am not using this on my Myth boxes but I have this working on my Antix (debian) machine auto mounting a NTFS disk:

fstab (My machine):
Code:
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 nfts-3g auto,users


Try this in your fstab:
Code:
/dev/sda1 /myth/usb nfts-3g auto,users

Thanks.
But the result is the same.
I have to do a mount -a to use the drive.

Could you post your fstab? Maybe it has to do with the order that the NTFS-3G entry is in.

Here is my fstab in Antix:

Code:
# Pluggable devices are handled by uDev, they are not in fstab
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 ntfs-3g auto,users
/dev/sda2 swap swap sw,pri=1 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=0666 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 /home ext3 defaults,noatime 1 2
# Dynamic entries below
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0
/dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0


Try moving

Code:
/dev/sda1 /myth/usb ntfs-3g auto,users


Just below:
Code:
/dev/hda3 /myth auto defaults,auto 0 2

Still the same issue. It wont mount at boot :-(

Almost certainly an ordering issue. Read the mount man pages, there's a way to tell it that one mount point needs to be in place before layering another one on top of it.

Just some thoughts...

You may need to create a /etc/fuse.conf with user_allow_other in it?

There ought to be a log file somewhere with some hints.

I hear that there were some problems with ordering of sda sdb etc. with usb drives plugged in vs. unplugged and that was a hold up for R5.5. I also think I remember that there was a question whether parallel drives should be renamed back to hda instead of sda as is the later standard.

Adding _netdev to your mount options will delay the mounting of that drive and may help.
