PorteuX 2.1 bug reports

[Ed_P]

Unable to update text files on NFTS drives.

[porteux]

We need a better explanation on how exactly to replicate the issue, expected behavior, current behavior, etc.

[rych]

Unable to update text files on NFTS drives.

...because they are read-only The whole NTFS partition was dirty and therefore mounted read-only. At least that's what used to happen to me 10 years ago

[Ed_P]

Boot porteuX 2.1, attempt to update grub2 menu, can't save the update, drive read only, reboot to porteus 5.01, update the grub2 menu, save it.

Could save these images to the EFI drive for posting later.

...because they are read-only The whole NTFS partition was dirty and therefore mounted read-only.

chkdsk /f clears those problems on Windows.

[porteux]

NTFS partitions shouldn't be read-only. Please, add the following cheatcodes at the boot menu once:

Code: Select all

delay=5 fsck

This should fix any error in the NTFS partitions and make them writable.

[Ed_P]

Code: Select all

delay=5 fsck

This should fix any error in the NTFS partitions and make them writable.

Thanks. Never have had to do this with porteux before, or porteus, even after rebooting to it. Will try it later and get back to you.

I haven't tried the fsck code yet but this is the same drive, porteus 5.1 view.



Similar views for the nvme0n1p5 drive on both systems.

Does the fsck code work for all drives or just the boot drive, which for me is an ISO.

[porteux]

Does the fsck code work for all drives or just the boot drive, which for me is an ISO.

It should check all available disks, and after the boot process finishes, a log file will be shown so you can check which drivers were scanned.

root@porteux:/home/guest# fsck --help

Usage:
 fsck [options] -- [fs-options] [<filesystem> ...]

Check and repair a Linux filesystem.

Options:
 -A         check all filesystems
 -C [<fd>]  display progress bar; file descriptor is for GUIs
 -l         lock the device to guarantee exclusive access
 -M         do not check mounted filesystems
 -N         do not execute, just show what would be done
 -P         check filesystems in parallel, including root
 -R         skip root filesystem; useful only with '-A'
 -r [<fd>]  report statistics for each device checked;
            file descriptor is for GUIs
 -s         serialize the checking operations
 -T         do not show the title on startup
 -t <type>  specify filesystem types to be checked;
            <type> is allowed to be a comma-separated list
 -V         explain what is being done

 -?, --help     display this help
     --version  display version

See the specific fsck.* commands for available fs-options.
For more details see fsck(8).

Ed_P, Could you start Gparted and see if there is a warning sign about dirty bit, "Information" in partition context menu?

For example, I still get this: NTFS3 Kernel Module (Post by rych #99942) and would fix it by running under root:

Code: Select all

 chkntfs /dev/disk/by-label/Data -f

In your case, GParted might also report that it's mounted read-only, and why.

Porteus still uses a different driver by default, ntfs-3g. In Porteus, could you run something like

Code: Select all

mount | grep ntfs

in order to confirm that?

[porteux]

Just to let you guys know that PorteuX comes with a proper NTFS fix utility that avoids using Windows at all.

It can be called either by 'fsck' cheatcode during boot time, or 'check-filesystem' after boot (requiring the units to be unmounted).

[Ed_P]

As noted previously porteux, the ntfs problem doesn't exist in porteux 2.0. Or earlier porteux releases.

Code: Select all
