Post ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Invalid argument
Hi!

I need to solve the problem:

Code:
~ # mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb1_1/
ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/usb1_1/ failed: No such device


or

Code:
~ # ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb1_1/
ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Invalid argument


I have the following versions:

ntfs-3g 1.2412 integrated FUSE 27
fuse init (API version 7.8)

Code:
~ # lsmod | grep fuse
fuse                   49360  0


Code:
~ # fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 4042 MB, 4042259968 bytes
125 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1018 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 7750 * 512 = 3968000 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System
/dev/sda1               1        1018     3944719   7 HPFS/NTFS


P.S. FUSE upgrade is not possible to use the current version

Hi,

Code:
~ # ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb1_1/
ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Invalid argument

Is there some information in the system log ?

A lot of bugs have been fixed since this prehistoric version (not supported any more).

If you cannot upgrade, you can download from http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-advanced/ a prelinked recent version built for Knoppix. It can be used with nearly any kernel version since 2.6.20 with a fuse kernel module. Nothing to install, just download, uncompress and mount as root with

Code:
linked-ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb1_1

I compiled the latest ntfs-3g with a debug

Code:
--enable-shared=no --disable-mount-helper \
--with-fuse=internal --enable-debug --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/tmp \
--disable-mtab --disable-ldconfig --disable-library


Now, I have:

Code:
ntfs-3g 2011.4.12 integrated FUSE 27


when mounting, I have:

Code:
...
ntfs_mapping_pairs_decompress(): Entering
  ntfs_mapping_pairs_decompress_i(): Entering for attr 0xa0.
  Mapping pairs array successfully decompressed:

Hi,

Code:
Couldn't find name '.NTFS-3G' in pathname '.NTFS-3G/UserMapping'.
ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Invalid argument

There is no relation between these two messages. The first one is a normal warning if you do not have a .NTFS-3G directory.

Has anything been written to the system log ?

You have used the option --disable-mtab which prevents ntfs-3g from checking whether the partition was already mounted. Are you sure it is not mounted ? Also make sure /mnt/usb1_1 is an existing directory.

Otherwise your partition could be corrupt. First do a couple of "chkdsk /f" to make sure it is sane, or at least do an "ntfsfix [-n] /dev/sda1"

Hi again,

Should be ok. At least at this stage

Please try to answer all my questions, or say why you cannot.
Additionally, please post the output of
Code:
ntfsinfo -fm /dev/sda1
