Thank you for replying! That did not help, though - same error. mkdir (as root) fails with 'permission denied'. Just to check: I am logged in as root, have rw permission to the mount point and am using ntfs-3g -o rw /dev/block/sdd1 /storage/UsbDriveA - that should work, correct (ntfs-3g exits with no error and status 0)?Try:-
Remove flash
Reboot
Wait 30 seconds
Replace flash
Mount with ntfs-3g
Going between drivers like that is likely to cause confusion
Thanks for replying. I do have rw permission for the mount point (only root does, i.e. it is 600, but I am logged in as root, so no problem). The locations are correct and I can confirm using 'mount' that the device is mounted properly. I also don't need to automount it with ES Explorer to find the device - I can look in /dev/block and see which device file gets added when I plug in the flash drive (which is what I did). Any ideas?Not necessarily, but it looks possible. On mine it's something like /dev/block/vold/179:6 Where you mount to has to exist with reasonable permissions as well. I like to use the shell's tab-completion to be sure.
Run 'mount' before & after ES File Explorer mounts it to find the exact names then go through the reboot rigmarole.
Hi, I normally only have Linux on my computer but recently I had to install Windows for something particular so I have that too. Although the flash drive in question (as well as a second one I tried) was formatted in NTFS under Linux with the ntfs3g package. I just tried reformatting the driver under Windows (did a quick format) but the issue remains... Thank you for helping, I'm open to more suggestions if anyone has an idea.I presume that you have a Windows machine you can plug it into? I've forgotten the name of it, but there's a command-line utility that spells out very clearly the full permissions on a file system object which may give some clues. NTFS permissions are very complicated & can be inherited. Removing permissions completely for one user or group will sometimes fix things. Do you have another NTFS device to compare?
Beyond that I think you've hit the limit of my expertise, sorry
