Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 447303
can't mount ntfs partitions
Last modified: 2015-03-03 17:32:46 EST
Description of problem: Well, when I try to mount my NTFS partitions in Computer, nothing happens. That worked with Fedora 8 so I guess it is a gvfs issue.
Have you tried in terminal? It's works for me. If you don't know how to mount in terminal, check this: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=27045 other options: go to System/logout then log in as root(so set up yr sys as root), after this you will see ntfs partitions and it will be automatically mounted, then logout&log in as a simple user:), ntfs partitions will appear while you logged in your account. Unfortunately my fedora doesn't save this setting,so i may edit /etc/fstab.
Hi, thanks for your reply. Mounting with /bin/mount works, but the gvfs infrastructure (new in Fedora 9) in Places -> Computer does not obviously. The root trick works also (thanks as I now have an easy workaround, the fstab modification should work also), but I'd rather prefer something that works out of the box as it did with Fedora 8. I mean, the icons are there, the PolicyKit authentification dialog appears, but it does not mount the partition..
I have the same issue with all king of partitions; some are ext3, vfat... etc... so how can we help fedora or gnome developers to fix this bug?
This is also not working for me. My laptop running Fedora 9 has an ntfs partition at /dev/sda1. I go to Places | Computer and try to open Local Disk. I get prompted for a root password, but nothing happens. Subsequent attempts to do not do anything - no re-prompt for a password and no window opening showing the contents of the local disk. I would be happy to provide any additional information you might need to assist in fixing the bug.
i also seem to have the same problem.
