Yes, it's there in /etc/X11/.

Please try it without the xorg.conf.

Why doesn't this kind of line work in fstab:

LABEL=NTFS3 /media/NTFS3 ntfs rw,user,nofail,noatime,nodiratime,exec,uid=1001 0 2

It works with all other distros but Void just shows a error that it cannot find the disk, and booting is interupted. How should I modify it? In any case, I would like to use the 'LABEL'.

Hi Roland,

Have you already tested the new NTFS driver (see screenshot)?

Download of the alpha5 with the new NTFS driver: linux-image-5.15-alpha5-X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Image

Can you mount your NTFS partition and create files and folders with the new driver?

Thanks,
Christian

Not yet... But there is no problem in Void to mount NTFS partitions in general, e.g. from Caja. It is just that it did not work from fstab.

Could you please mount your NTFS partition with the command "mount" with the option "-t ntfs3"? (see screenshot above)

Void PPC Linux boots very fast and works well in a virtual e5500 PPC64 QEMU machine with KVM-HV:

I described the original problem somewhat unexactly... The exact error message shown when booting halts is:

mount: /media/NTFS3: mount point does not exist

So, it is not that the disk is not found but the mount point should be defined in some other way in Void. But how...?

Found finally the solution to the mount issue... It was almost too simple: just to create manually a subfolder named 'NTFS3' into the '/media' folder!!! But I have never had to do that with any other Linux distro... Just copying the definition line to fstab has been enough, OS has then done the rest.

Great!

Please try it with “ntfs3“.

Code: Select all

LABEL=NTFS3 /media/NTFS3 ntfs3 rw,user,nofail,noatime,nodiratime,exec,uid=1001 0 2
