[RPi5] LE 12.0.1 and NTFS HDD Problem

    Hi,

    Just checking if this fix was in 12.01 before I start gathering logs etc. It's still not working for me and now the exFAT drive I was using in the meantime doesn't show after upgrading. I get a message when it is removed though. This is the same as I was getting with the NTFS drive.

    Cheers

    OK I got a chance to do a little testing. I've attached both the original NTFS Toshiba USB disk and the SSD formatted as exFAT that I've been using since the original bug described in link in the post above. Neither show in the GUI but are definitely there as they show in parted. If I unplug the SSD a message shows saying "Successfully removed storage exFAT"

    Can someone please confirm that the fix for the bug reported here [RPi5] LE 12.0.0 and NTFS HDD Problem was actually in 12.01?

    This is odd, the module should be there:

    Code
    Aug 31 17:20:40.316814 LE-RPi5 udevil[1038]: mount: /var/media/TOSHIBA EXT: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs3'.

    First check with lsmod|grep ntfs. If not loaded try modprobe ntfs3 and check again. If loaded try reconnecting the drive.

    sdb is not visible at all.

    PS: dmesg is not required, the journal include the kernel messages.

    Thank you for looking into this:

    LE-RPi5:~ # LE-RPi5:~ #lsmod|grep ntfs
    -sh: LE-RPi5:~: not found
    LE-RPi5:~ # modprobe ntfs3
    modprobe: FATAL: Module ntfs3 not found in directory /lib/modules/6.6.28
    LE-RPi5:~ #

    Sorry I hadn't reconnected sdb for the logs. Should I run them again with it connected?

    Something else has happed since the upgrade that might be related. After the 60 second countdown it seems to be fine.

    Something is utterly wrong with your installation, first of all it should report kernel 6.6.45 on RPi and 6.6.46 on Generic - not kernel 6.6.28 (that was used on LE 12.0.0).

    Try re-installing LE12.0.1 again. Just put the img.gz into the update share or /storage/.update folder and reboot.

    so long,

    hmm, you seem to have both an NVME drive and a SD card inserted. Please run "blkid" and verify that you don't have identical filesystem UUIDs on those (that will happen if you do a raw copy of SD card to NVME and will create a mess).

    Or just remove the SD card if you boot from NVME

    so long,

    Thank you HiassofT, my apologies for taking so long to respond, I was away and then busy with work.

    You are correct that I have both an NVME drive and SD Card, it wouldn't boot without the SD Card.

    After reading your post I made a backup, removed the NVME drive, reimaged the SD Card and restored that backup and everything is working properly now. I think my NVME drive must be incompatible, but I'll create another post for that.

    Thank you again.
