NVR Disk Not Mounting



Hey there Probie (Aussie sense of humour, I watch too much NCIS :)), what have you got?

I have to scoot for my evening but it may be something like this?

Thanks, I know it's probably something stupid and will be needing a Dinozzo Slap after all this, lol
 
Possibly not, @ShadeyJones , or someone may have swung by, by now.

Have you considered getting in touch with the manufacturers to see if they can help?

Hey there.. in linux, have you tried to mount it?

you'd want to create an empty directory like .. 'mkdir /drive' ... then mount it specifying the type like 'mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /drive'. Sometimes you can get away w/o specifying a filesystem type, but above, it looks like it's ntfs.
 
You might try "df -h" in the command line to see if linux sees any data on the drives. Additionally I agree with Rob, try mounting the drive first.
 
did the above and this what i got
mint@mint:~$ mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /drive
mount: only root can use "--types" option
 
mint@mint:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /drive
Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.
The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which
could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command.
mint@mint:~$
 
Reboot and repeat the command
