My NTFS Partition keeps becoming "unusable" on Ubuntu, Any Ideas?
- by gopherman
I just purchased a new 2TB Drive External Seagate, My main system uses both Windows and Ubuntu So I am pretty much stuck with keeping my drive as NTFS. I have done this without any problems before but since I got this new drive I have been having issues. When I first load up Ubuntu the drive mounts and runs fine, after an unspecified amount of time i start getting Input/Output errors when accessing the drive. When I goto the Disk Utility I get a message stating the drive is "Unknown or Unused", If I disconnect and reconnect the drive or reboot everything is fine again.
There's no errors coming up with S.M.A.R.T and it seems to work fine while under windows.
Any thoughts?
