My dev/sda6, which is a ntfs partition, can not mounted automatically anymore
Syndrome:
-Used to work ok, mounted under my home directory (/home/DangVinh/Documents) every boot time by a line in fstab
-Now: mount failed:
kernel: mount.ntfs[5279]: segfault at 9ddc238 ip 00b974e7 sp bfb52b9c error 4 in libntfs-3g.so.71.0.0[b8f000+58000]
-But I CAN mount /dev/sda6 /mnt, or any other directory, as long as it is not the old directory under my home dir
Solution:
umount /dev/sda6
ls -al /home/DangVinh
–>Spotted that /home/DangVinh/Documents directory is corrupted, listed by ????????. Tux doesn’t understand what kind of dir it is.
rm -r /home/DangVinh/Documents
–>Transport endpoint not connected
Can’t delete this folder.
After several tries, this is how I manage to do the job:
$umount -all
–>That’s sucks. Don’t panic
$rm /home/DangVinh/Documents
–>No complaints
$ls -al /home/DangVinh
–>Documents folder is gone. Fantastic
$reboot now
–>Oops… Have to push reset button
After reboot, recreate /home/DangVinh/Documents
$mount /dev/sda6
–>Works
A happy ending.
