[GUIDE] How to mount USB external harddisk(support NTFS and multi disks)

[huzz]

Thank you guys!

 

[KerryG]

I just want to read memory cards from a card reader, no need for NTFS, is all the NTFS stuff and script needed for FAT16/FAT32 support? If not, what steps are needed to just mount a non-NTFS drive?

 

[hawk2k8]

plz see step 4, it is mentioned.

PS:if the partition of your disk is FAT16/32, then you needn't doing anything , it will be auto mounted by Roebeet's hack.

help nood please

need step by step process for ntfs disk rocognition i tried putting unzipped in tools and pushing comands but no luck fat32 usb flash drive works no problem 500 gb seagate 9pkw2ag500 lights up spinns but no files found

gscript continues to give a permission denied error everytime I run either script even though I have chmod'd all files and folders.

scriptor says:
couldn't set local enviornment, using default {null}
failed to access /dev/block/sda1 please check dev/block/sda1 and the ntfs-3g binary permissions and the mounting user ID

do i need to do anything from the roebeet page if i am already running tiamat 1.4.0? All i did was follow the instructions from the first post of this thread.

I HAVE A WIFI XOOM

**EDIT**
I was able to plug in a 2gb thumb drive and see it under the OTG folder. Still no luck mounting a NTFS drive though.

thanks,

I have tried the script many different ways and keep getting the same error. I really dont want to come accross as a pest but I am going on vacation on Wednesday and I really would like to figure this out so I dont have to take my laptop. I know it can be done, I just dont know what i am doing wrong. If anyone has a few minutes to help me out I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

A USB coupler? I have the adapter, thats not the problem. The problem is I keep getting permission errors and what not. Read my post a few posts back to see what i am talking about.

Thanks,

Did you do?
chmod 755 /system/xbin/ntfs-3g /system/xbin/umount_force

to get permission?

 

[Didact74]

yes i did.

I figured out my problem. It was my drive, not the script. I found another drive and it works fine now.

Thanks,

mount external sd card ntfs

after spent half a day, i can mount my external sd card 16 gig NTFS ,just change a little bit at


ntfs-3g /dev/block/mmcblk1p /mnt/external_sd

but I saw an error command showed

Couldn't set local environment, using default '(null)'.
ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Device or resource busy

but when browse to external sd card i can see all the files there, but I can't play vdo from there yet 'coz Nemoplayer can't browse sd card :-( Roakplayer doesn't work either.

Tried that, won't work.

You need a cable made for it. Pins 4 and 5 (ID and Ground) need to be shorted, otherwise the Xoom won't know that it's a host device.

You need to DIY it or order it from eBay. As soon as I find some in the US, I'll start shipping them.

hi will this work for wifi xoom on tiamat v1.4.1?

 

[myv6mustang]

Will this be updated to play with 3.1?

NTFS Mounting App

Hey guys,
I've created an app (based off the OP) which simplifies mounting NTFS drives. I know it works for the Iconia but I was wondering if somebody here would be willing to try it with the Xoom.
