First, mount a mobile hard disk in the exFAT format. Recently, a dual-system has been created. One disk is Windows 7 and the hard disk format is exFAT,

If you want to access the files under Windows 7 in Linux, the following error occurs: mount failure.

# Mount-t exfat/dev/sda2/mnt/d

Mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'

This is because partitions in exFAT format cannot be recognized on RedHat 6.0.

For a mobile hard drive or USB flash drive, the files supported by FAT32 cannot exceed 4 GB, so they can only be formatted as exFAT,

The following is a record of how to mount various hard disks in exFat format in Linux.

1. Install

Sudo apt-get install subversion scons libfuse-dev gcc

Svn co http://exfat.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ exfat-read-only

Cd exfat-read-only

Scons

Sudo scons install

Rm-rf exfat-read-only

2. Mount

Sudo mount-t exfat-o iocharset = cp936/dev/sda2/mnt/d

3. Uninstall

Sudo umount/mnt/d

 

The following is the NTFS format,

Use an Open Source Software NTFS-3g that supports reading and writing NTFS format partitions under Linux. It is fast and secure. It supports Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and Vista, and supports all POSIX-compliant disk operations. Ntfs-3g is designed for continuous development, users of various hardware platforms and operating systems need reliable intercommunication and support ntfs Driver, ntfs-3g provides a trusted, functional, high-performance solution. After more than 12 years of development, ntfs-3g has gradually stabilized. (Translated from the official website)

 

# Wget http://tuxera.com/opensource/ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2011.4.12.tgz

Compile and install ntfs-3g

# Tar zxvf ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2011.4.12.tgz

# Cd ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2011.4.12

#./Configure

# Make

# Make install

Mount File

# Fdisk-ll

.......

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

/Dev/sda1*1 2600 204800 83 HPFS/NTFS

/Dev/sda2 5223 1459*75272557 + f extFAT

/Dev/sda3 ******** 37544960 83 Linux

/Dev/sda4 700*522*4194304 82 Linux SWAP

.......

From the above view, we know that/dev/sda1 is in NTFS format.

1. Create a directory for the mount point. For example, create a c directory under the/mnt/directory:

# Mkdir/mnt/c

2. Mount/dev/sda1 to/mnt/c, so that if we view the/dev/sda1 disk content, we will find it in/mnt/c.

# Mount-t ntfs-3g-o nls = utf8, umask = 000/dev/sda1/mnt/c

Automatic mounting of boot partitions

Put the following command in/etc/fstab.

/Dev/sda1/mnt/c ntfs-3g umask = 000, iocharset = utf8 0 0

/Dev/sda2/mnt/d exfat umask = 000, iocharset = cp936 0 0

# Cp-r-f srcDir dstDir // copy the directory file.

# Rm-rf dstDir // Delete the directory file.

Unmount a disk: umount command

# Umount/mnt/c

# Umount/mnt/d

 

Note: mount-t file format-o option parameter disk partition mount point directory name

For example: mount-t vfat-o iocharset = utf8, umask = 000/dev/sda2/mnt/d

For example, mount-t ntfs-o nls = utf8, umask = 000/dev/sda1/mnt/c

-T ntfs indicates that the file system format is ntfs;-o is the option, nls = utf8, meaning Native Language Support (supported by local Language) is utf8, that is, the commonly used language encoding can also be changed to iocharset = utf8;

RedHat Enterprise 6.0 the default language encoding is utf8, which can display Chinese characters. umask = 000 indicates that all user groups can read and write data, but because NTFS is not secure in Linux, therefore, it can only be read and cannot be written.
