hi,

my steps are:
1, lvcreate, make a lv, named test-pure-ntfs, vg is centos7(consisted of sdb);
2, virsh attach-disk, attach test-pure-ntfs to an VM(Windows-Server2008R2x64);
3, make this new disk online and format it(MBR+NTFS);
4, then this disk can rw normally within VM;
5, ntfs-3g, mount test-pure-ntfs on a existed path(/mnt/ntfs/), but failed!

so, why?
do not ntfs-3g support my case?

==========here are parts of my actions==========
[root@localhost mnt]# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/centos7/test-pure-ntfs /mnt/ntfs/
NTFS signature is missing.

The device '/dev/mapper/centos7-test--pure--ntfs' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

thanks for anyone who check this email

Hi

[Duplicating my reply to post duplicated on "ntfs-3g-devel", please only post here]

What is the device path which represents your ntfs partition :
/dev/centos7/test-pure-ntfs
or /dev/mapper/centos7-test--pure--ntfs
or /dev/mapper/centos7-test--pure--ntfs1 ?

Please post the outputs of (as root) :

replacing DEVICE by centos7/test-pure-ntfs etc.
