Hi Guys,
I am a long-time Raspberry Pi user. User, not programmer or system-administrator. I recently bought a Rasperry Pi 5 8 GB and flashed and updated the current Pi-OS bookwork.
When I wanted to transfer data from a USB3-Stick (64 GB, NTFS-formatted), the stick does not mount.
Search in this forum showed, that other users have the same problem with NTFS.
Some issues are tagged as solved, but for me the solutions
- something with fstab to permanently mount NTFS-drives
- or reformatting the USB-stick with exFAT (or fat 32)
are no solutions.
With dmesg I see, that there seem to be some issues with the kernel-module ntfs3.
And in this forum there is a hint, that there is some problem with big RAM-pages in the current kernel.
These issues are from February/March2024. Is there any solution now?
Shutting down is not possible, because an operation (the mounting?) still is pending.
Or are we back in the early Windows95 times, when it was called Plug-And-Prey? Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Best regards
