Q: FSTAB solution for NTFS write stopped working?
Hi,
I made NTFS write support by adding the following line in FSTAB file.
LABEL=BootCamp none ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse
It was working fine until it stopped showing under volumes. Now, when I try to mount BootCamp volume from disk utility, it shows for <1s and its gone.
I searched the web for solution and then I entered following command in terminal.
sudo dmesg
It returned following:
NTFS driver 3.13 [Flags: R/W].
NTFS volume name BootCamp, version 3.1.
NTFS-fs error (device /dev/disk0s4, pid 146): ntfs_system_inodes_get(): Windows is hibernated. Run chkdsk.
NTFS-fs error (device /dev/disk0s4, pid 146): ntfs_mount(): Failed to load system files (error 30).
NTFS-fs error (device /dev/disk0s4, pid 146): ntfs_mount(): Mount failed (error 30).
NTFS volume name BootCamp, version 3.1.
NTFS-fs warning (device /dev/disk0s4, pid 220): ntfs_system_inodes_get(): Windows is hibernated. Will not be able to remount read-write. Run chkdsk.
I tried running chkdsk, but it successfully repairs the drive but still i can't mount the drive with write support in OSX.
Now talking about hibernation, I have already turned off hibernation option from windows, so I have only restart or shutdown options.
I am not into using third party software(Tuxera, ntfs3g or others).
Is there any work around for this so that I can use FSTAB only? Please help!
Thanks.
