FreeNAS NTFS Mount Problem

evetsmd

Occasional Visitor
Using FreeNAS 0.69....setup has been all OK except for trying to mount a 300G Maxtor sata drive formatted NTFS with 250G of data already installed.

Management sees it OK and ONLINE
Services/CSFS sees it and shows it as browseable
Mount Point is my Problem - File System is set to NTFS but no matter what partition choice I select, status shows Modifying and if I hit apply changes it tells me Error-Retry.

This drive already has data on board so I am trying to just mount and share the drive on the network in the NAS box.

Any help is really appreciated.

NTFS support on FreeNAS is pretty iffy, I've found. I'd suggest you first remount it on a Windows box and run a check - it's possible the volume didn't dismount cleanly.
