[Bug 875066] Re: Mounting a NTFS partition an boot time stops mount with a question

[Phillip Susi]

The errors are from fsck, not mount.  You should run chkdsk on the
volume from Windows and try running ntfsfix from Linux, but I think it
is somewhat buggy/unreliable/unhelpful, so you will want to change the
fsck pass to 0 in fstab so it won't be checked on boot.

Title:
  Mounting a NTFS partition an boot time stops mount with a question

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  My fstab contains an entry for a NTFS partition. After upgrading from Natty to Oneiric, the boot sequence stops with an error message complaining that too many errors have been found in the volume. The system then stop until either Skip, Ignore or Manual mount is selected.
  When using Ignore, everything is fine and the NTFS volume is mounted.
  I've commented out the entry in /etc/fstab (to get rid of the sequence stop while booting). When logged in, mounting the partition either via Nautilus file browser or by uncommenting the line in /etc/fstab and issueing a "sudo mount -a" works.
  So I guess the mount op during the boot sequence has a bug which erroneously reports errors.

  My /etc/fstab:
  >>>>>
  # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
  #
  # Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
  # for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
  # devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
  #
  # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
  proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0
  /dev/sda6       /               xfs     defaults        0       1
  /dev/sda5       none            swap    sw              0       0
