Re: [opensuse-kubic] Unable to mount NTFS formatted external storage on MicroOS, receiving "unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'" error despite having removed the blacklist on the file system.

Hi all,

I am trying to mount a USB attached, NTFS formatted, external storage on the MicroOS box but keep receiving the prompt: "unknown filesystem type 'ntfs' (hint: possibly blacklisted, see mount(8))."

I did my due research and commented out the "blacklist ntfs" line in the 60-blacklist_fs-ntfs.conf file located at /etc/modprobe.d/60-blacklist_fs-ntfs.conf and restarted the system. However, I still receive the same error when trying to mount the storage.

I don't know what I am missing but my Google-fu is not helping anymore!

Generally, the FUSE based ntfs-3g is preferred over the read-only ntfs support in the Linux kernel. You can install the ntfs-3g package and mount -t ntfs should directly make use of it. Cheers, Fabian

Thanks.
