Help mounting EFI GPT partition
Hi, I've recently installed gentoo and ntfs-3g. I've got 2 raid arrays on a hardware card, both formatted NTFS although one is over 2TB and formatted with GUID partition tables by vista. The smaller array (sda) mounts without problems but the GPT array (sdb) fails to mount as indicated below:
# mount /dev/sdb1 /big -t ntfs-3g
Code:
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't have a valid NTFS.
Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around?
Attached is an fdisk -l which confirms that the disk is GPT
# fdisk -l
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 1500.0 GB, 1500084436992 bytes

How do I mount this with ntfs-3g please? Am I missing something obvious? Do I need to use something in addition to ntfs-3g?
Thanks for your time
