jonndoe45 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 System: Ubuntu 9.10, lates php, latest apache all x64 Problem: mounting external hard disk formatted under ntfs, using directory commands like is_dir have "no results" i.e when I test if i do something like is_dir('/media/offline1/files/a/') it returns false, although it is a directory. The same would work on mountex ext3 external hd. So, any way around it ? Why does it not work ???? Anyone can help me please.

Zane Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 My guess is that at some point in time.. Windows was installed on this NTFS partition. An installation with a few unprivileged users. Unless you login to that drive with an admin account, you'll forever be restricted from it. I'm not exactly sure how to login to an ntfs drive with linux, but that's your problem at hand.
