From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6 Description of problem: In trying to mount a firewire external hard drive, the following error is produced: # mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/ieee1394disk mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs' Fdisk output is as follows: # fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 300.0 GB, 300000739328 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 36473 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 36472 292961308+ 7 HPFS/NTFS The mount manpage lists ntfs as a supported filesystem (as does the FC4 "Unleashed" book), so this seems like a bug and not a removed feature. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect the firewire drive to the computer (Dell Dimension 8400) 2. Turn it on 3. As root, type "mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/ieee1394disk Actual Results: Error message: mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs' Expected Results: The drive should have mounted to the mount_point /media/iee1394disk Additional info: 1. Can't mount it as ext3: mount reports that the filesystem is incorrect for the drive. 2. Can't mount it as "hpfs", or "NTFS" or "HPFS/NTFS": same "unknown filesystem" error. 3. mount -t auto gives same error. 4. /etc/filesystems looks like this: ext3 ext2 nodev proc nodev devpts iso9660 vfat hfs
