Hi,
I've plugged my USB HDD formatted in NTFS to my archer c7 v2.
I want to use it as a share for everyone on the network, without credentials.
my /etc/config/fstab file looked like this:
config global
option anon_swap '0'
option anon_mount '1'
option auto_swap '1'
option auto_mount '1'
option delay_root '5'
option check_fs '0'
config mount
option target '/mnt/298GB'
option uuid '5C1A90441A901CD8'
option enabled '1'
but when performing reboot or "block mount" it mounts it as:
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/298GB type ntfs (ro,relatime,uid=0,gid=0,fmask=0177,dmask=077,nls=default,errors=continue,mft_zone_multiplier=1)
which is read only (using ntfs and not ntfs-3g).
I can mount it properly by using:
ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/298GB -o rw,noatime,async,big_writes
then I get:
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/298GB type fuseblk (rw,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096)
I tried editing my fstab:
config mount '298GB'
option target '/mnt/298GB'
option uuid '5C1A90441A901CD8'
option enabled '1'
option fstype 'ntfs-3g'
option options 'rw,noatime,async,big_writes'
but it fails and dmesg says:
[ 1877.750146] ntfs: (device sda1): parse_options(): Unrecognized mount option big_writes.
I tried without the big_writes option, and again it mounts it as ntfs, and ro.
I want to use fstab and not auto start script, because I want to mount according to uuid, since the mounted drives can change.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
