hades Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hello. I installed SNAP. Plugged 5TB USB drive in, and it shows up in SNAP. However, it does not mount, and simply shows as having no filesystem. I moved it to a Windows machine, reformatted NTFS, and still the same thing. I plug it into a Windows machine, it immediately is assigned a drive letter, and I can use the drive, so it works. I'm trying to use NTFS as I need to then copy files over, move the drive over to a Windows machine for permanent use. Any help? -- devtype: part devtype: part devtype: part devtype: part deviceid: wwn-0x5000c5007d0d86e8 event: CREATE devtype: disk Error while mounting device. Don't try to share it.

Setting up watches. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
interwebtech Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Not sure if it applies to v6, but when I did similar in v5 I had to load an NTFS driver to be able to read from a SNAP connected USB drive. To be sure, you should wait for a more knowledgeable person to help you. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The NTFS-3G Plugin says The ntfs-3g driver package is needed for writing on NTFS formated disks. The built in NTFS driver is read only. so you may want to install it if you haven't already. How many partitions are on that drive? You can put it back in Windows and use Disk Manager to find out.

hades Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 One partition, covering the entire disk, nothing fancy. Running b14 of unRAID. I will try the NTFS write driver. Thank you. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 You definitely need to have the ntfs-3g driver installed for accessing NTFS formatted drives that are larger than 2TB in size, I had bed been hoping it would be included as standard, but I do not believe that has happened. The easiest way to install it is to download it from the slackware packages site (make sure you get the 64-bit version for unRAID v6) and put it into an 'extra' folder on the flash drive (creating it if it does not already exist) and reboot the system as packages in that folder are automatically installed on UnRAID system boot.

The easiest way to install it is just to use dlandon's plugin, which is in the same post as the SNAP plugin. Quote Link to comment

I am sure it was not there when I originally looked, but it does make sense for it to be available as a plugin. Quote Link to comment
hades Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thank you for the suggestion, I didn't notice that line in the SNAP setup. I installed it, rebooted just to be safe. The plugin shows up just fine. Same problem in SNAP though. Shows 'NO FS'. For the moment I figured out how not to use the USB drive on unRAID, so I'll be OK not attaching it to unRAID. I'll just prepare the data I need (~3TB of CrashPlan backups) onto a user share, then pull that data across the network onto the USB drive attached to a Windows computer. Will take a few days longer, but I've spent at least that much trying to get this to work. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I mount NTFS drives all the time with SNAP. Not sure I have tried one > 2GB yet though. Quote Link to comment
eas4uk Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm having exactly the same issue - anyone make any progress with this? I have installed the latest snap and ntfs-3g x64 plugins... Note- I can get my 2tb WD passport working fine but my 5tb Toshiba Canvio is having issues with snap Quote Link to comment
