Cannot Mount NTFS USB External
Posted: 2017/07/23 15:02:10
Hello,
I have literally exhausted all the forums discussion on this topic so hopefully someone can shed light on my issue.
I have a Seagate 2TB external USB drive I want to mount to my Centos 6 machine but it does not want to work.
I get this message when I attempt to mount:
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/smb
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
These are the details of the drive:
parted /dev/sdb print
Model: Seagate Backup+ Desk (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 2000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 4096B/4096B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 8192B 2000GB 2000GB primary
fuse and ntfs-3g are installed...I'm at a loss.
Any ideas ?
