Not able to mount a few LDM NTFS partitions

Issues & Assistance
22

I do not believe this is the correct way to mount the array because it is on NTFS.

This is from the ArchWiki:

Mandatory preparation

To create device mappers, simply do:

# ldmtool create all

This populates /dev/mapper with volumes under LDM. Once this is done, they become accessible in a usual manner, say by:

# mount -t ntfs /dev/mapper/*LDM volume* /mnt/*mountpoint*

More here: Dynamic disks - ArchWiki

I’m not sure if you have the device mappers set up already or not, but if so you are just missing the mount option in your command. Try something like this:

sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/mapper/ldm_vol_TUSHAR-DESKTOP-Dg0_Volume1 /mnt/a

I think I just mounted my drives :partying_face:

I used ntfs-3gs.

ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/ldm_vol_TUSHAR-DESKTOP-Dg0_Volume1 /mnt/a/

Thank you everyone for trying. I will make backups now.

I guess I spoke too soon. It mounted the two partitions but they are the same ones so I didn't actually do it properly. And some files are still inaccessible.

What do you mean "they are the same ones"?

27

They contain the same files.

Guys I think its fixed for real now! :slight_smile: .

I just came back from school and when I turned my computer and tried to mount my drives. To my surprise this time they didn't have the same files.

I think ntfs-3gs really did work.

I will mark this as solved. But can someone tell me how to make them mount on startup by default?

Edit /etc/fstab.
Use gnome-disk-utility as easy to use GUI.
