 Can't mount remote NTFS external usb drive
I apologize if this post has already made the rounds, but I have been banging my head on the wall for the past several days trying to get it to work and I can't seem to find a post that is working for me.
I have an NFS server running on Fedora 10, which has a NTFS external USB Drive attached to it. Here is the fdisk information on that disk:
Disk /dev/sdc: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x5b6ac646
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 * 1 14593 117218241 7 HPFS/NTFS
The drive is automounted in Fedora 10 as /media/Backups. Here is the information in my /etc/exports file: /media/Backups 192.168.15.153(rw)
What I am trying to do is mount that drive on my Ubuntu 8.04 server so that I can backup my server there. I also use the drive to backup my Fedora 10 system as well as a information on a Windows XP laptop.
On Ubuntu I created /mnt/backup so that I can mount the remote drive to there. I have tried using the following command:
sudo mount 192.158.15.151:/dev/sdc1 /mnt/backup -t ntfs-3g -rw -o umask=0000
I have also tried executing the same command, but replacing /dev/sdc1 with /media/Backups since that is where it is mounted on Fedora 10.
I keep receiving the following error message: ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '192.158.15.151:/dev/sdc1': No such file or directory on both accounts.
I would really appreciate any assistance on this problem that I am having. I must point out that although I am not new to computer science, I am fairly new to the Linux world so please try to keep the explanations simple and possibly add the commands to run. Thanks.

 Re: Can't mount remote NTFS external usb drive
You need CIFS, not NTFS-3G.
