Just noticed in freeWRT they added support for the NTFS filesystem. The only problem with freeWRT doesn't support my router (wrtsl54gs). Wandering if you guys have a package for the NTFS filesystem support. If not, can you create one?

Thanks

i think there does exist a module to support ntfs but is experimental.

FUSE and NTFS-3G are available in OpenWrt for quite some time - and this provides read/write support, while the kenrel module used by freewrt only provides support for reading.

I cannot find the ntfs-3g package anywhere. I did find fuse and installed it along with the lib and the utilities.

I found the package here

http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … /packages/
http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … /packages/

But can't able to install it on ASUS WL-500gP Whiterussian 0.9. We need it for 2.4 Kernel.
Anyone can help please

I got it to install but when I mount I get a "segmentation fault" error

Hello

I got one NTFS ext. hadr drive and , i am trying to connect it to my WL500gp, Whiterussian 0.9.
I installed, (from http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … /packages/ )
fuse-utils - 2.6.3-1 -
kmod-fuse - 2.4.30brcm+2.2.1-1 - Filesystem in Userspace (kernel module)
ntfs-3g - 1.0-1 -

fdisk show me the drive
fdisk -l

mkdir -p /hdd

I am getting mount error
root@ASUS:/etc# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /hdd
mount: Mounting /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 on /hdd failed: No such device

If i do
root@ASUS:/etc# ntfs-3g -?
Segmentation fault
root@ASUS:/etc# ntfs-3g -help
Segmentation fault
root@ASUS:/etc# ntfs-3g /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /hdd

is this means i installed wrong ntfs-3g?

Thanks in Advance

I am using Kamikaze 2.6 on a WGT634u from a snapshot about May 1, and I just installed the NTFS drivers (from X-WRT's repository), and I get the following error when I use the ntfs-3g program to try to mount:

root@OpenWrt:/# ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /usb
fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
FUSE mount point creation error: No such file or directory
Unmounting /dev/sda2 (New Volume)

Here's another post regarding the same problem:

http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=45355

Incidentally when I use mount command, it just tells me mounting failed.

Yeah. Same thing here. Ntfs-3g does not work on Asus WL-500GD with Kamikaze r7075. If anyone has an idea how to fix it, please post here.

ipkg install kmod-usb2 kmod-usb-storage ntfs-3g libpthread

@forum2006: did you create the directory for the mountpoint?

Sure, it's there:

root@OpenWrt:/# ls -al /mnt/
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root            0 Jan  1 00:10 .
drwxr-xr-x    6 root     root            0 Jan  1  1970 ..
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root            0 Jan  1 00:10 hdd
root@OpenWrt:/#

Ntfs-3g and fuse currently do not work on Kamikaze. Tested with brcm47xx-2.6 (r7075) and x86-2.6 (r7084).

Even i want to use NTFS-3G, Can someone please compile it for WR 0.9,  2.4 Kernel.

Thanks

only compiles with 2.6 kernels.

Alright. I updated ntfs-3g to 1.417 and fuse to 2.6.5 and recompiled and reflashed. Result: same error:

root@OpenWrt:/# ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/hdd/
fusermount: fuse device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
FUSE mount point creation failed
Unmounting /dev/sda1 (Maxtor)
root@OpenWrt:/#

I'm out of ideas.

well it's saying the fuse device doesn't exist. is the module loaded? does the device actually exist? (make it if not.). http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FAQ

Please continue here: http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=10092

It's Kamikaze related.
