    Hello, I am unable to mount one of my ntfs partitions. When I try to
    mount it I get this:

    # mount /hd2_4
    fstab: /etc/fstab:12: Inappropriate file type or format
    fstab: /etc/fstab:12: Inappropriate file type or format
    mount: /hd2_4: unknown special file or file system

    Here is my fstab file:
    # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump
    Pass#
    /dev/ad0s1 /windows ntfs ro 2 0
    /dev/ad0s2b none swap sw 0 0
    /dev/ad0s2a / ufs rw 1 1
    /dev/ad0s2e /tmp ufs rw 2 2
    /dev/ad0s2f /usr ufs rw 2 2
    /dev/ad0s2d /var ufs rw 2 2
    /dev/ad0s3 /shared msdosfs rw 0 0
    /dev/ad1s1 /hd2_1 msdosfs rw,noauto 0 0
    /dev/ad1s5 /hd2_2 ntfs ro,noauto 2 0
    /dev/ad1s6 /hd2_3 ntfs ro,noauto 2 0
    /dev/ad1s7 /hd2_4 ntfs ro.noauto 0 0
    /dev/ad1s8 /hd2_5 ntfs ro,noauto 0 0
    /dev/acd0 /dvd cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
    /dev/acd1 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
    /dev/fd0 /floppy msdosfs rw,noauto 0 0

    If I put a little 'xx,' before 'ro' on the /dev/ad1s7 line, then I get
    this message:
    # mount /hd2_4
    mount: /hd2_4: unknown special file or file system

    A little bit better, but it still doesn't work. I can mount my other
    ntfs partitions on that drive just fine. I've tried playing around with
    fstab quite a bit, but to no avail. Any clue how I can get this drive
    to mount? One thing that my be worth noting is that I have hidden and
    unhidden this particular partition before using partition magic in
    windows, could that have anything to do with it?

    Thanks

    /Brian
