unknown filesystem type ntfs

Post by cglorieu »

Hello,
I installed VM 4.1.22. Host system is Win7, Guest System is Linux 6.3.
A usb disk is plugged and automatically detected but the mount command give an error as above.
See attachment file.
The cmd #grep -i NTFS /boot/config-$(uname -r) give the following message: config_ntfs_fs is not set
Is it the pb ?
what I have to do to fix ?

That has nothing to do with VBOX.

You have to install ntfs-drivers in your linux guest. Start synaptic (or what ever is the name of the package manager from your linux) and search for ntfs packages like "ntfs-3g" or something else.

If you dont know how to do this, ask in a linux forum.
