Hi all,
I found that Serial ATA drives with NTFS partitions present in /etc/fstab
doesn't get mounted in bootstrap.
drives are correctly detected; if you manually mount partitions via
terminal/console instead, they correctly get mounted;
Example:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/storage ntfs umask=0222,ro 0 0
/dev/sda1 doesn't get mounted.
then, if i write in a console:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/storage/ -t ntfs -r -o umask=0222
everything is ok.
Normal ATA drives with ntfs are correctly mounted on same system.
Tried with all stable kernel, same problem.
Tried with another system, same problem.
see for reference:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/09/msg01346.html;
http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2005/01/msg00138.html;
kernels >= 2.6 are affected with this issue, both stable and testing;
Can you try adding ntfs to /etc/modules, and reboot and see if this still
happens ?
Anyway, i seriously doubt that this is a kernel bug, most probably either a
mount bug or one in the boot scripts or whatever they are called, in charge of
mounting the disks.
