[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.

Thank you so much that fixed it for me. On Tue, 5 May 2020 at 15:39, Fabian Vogt <fvogt@suse.de> wrote:

P.S. Upon further inspection I realized that I had already installed the ntfs-3g package but was trying to get it to work without having restarted the system first, silly me! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kubic+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kubic+owner@opensuse.org
