[SOLVED] ntfs not mounting

i tried to mount a ntfs hdd on my devuan system stable .

I am using xfce4 and stable version of dev1 .

all packages of ntfs are installed

ls -altr /sbin/mount.ntfs                                                         
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 23  2023 /sbin/mount.ntfs -> mount.ntfs-3g

according to debian forum [1]  the solution  was to install a package and will be fine
but in my case the package is installed

Re: [SOLVED] ntfs not mounting

Which kernel version do you have installed?

uname -a

It appears NTFS support has not been compiled into your kernel, you may need to change your (specialized) kernel for a generic one instead.

Otherwise it might be an error in your fstab:

cat /etc/fstab | grep ntfs*

Both commands as root.

Re: [SOLVED] ntfs not mounting

Well, strange. When posting the fuse hint I forgot that the old fuse has been replaced by fuse3.

Its working here on my workstation with fuse3 and ntfs-3g, no kernel modules.
