[Voyage-linux] Problem mounting USB HDD

[Protech Caribsurf]

Hi Punky - I can mount it manually. I realized it was mounting as read-only
so I hooked it up to a Windows machine and ran Chkdsk. After this it mounted
flawlessly - no errors - and showed up as rw. Not sure if that matters?

However, no matter what I do it will not list any songs when I run 'mpc
update'. Have tried  changing permissions - says Operation not supported -
so I went into the USB HDD via Windows again and allowed everyone all
operations - still no joy.

One odd thing - when I ran  chmod -R 777 it scrolled through every song on
the USB drive but when is "ls /var/lib/mpd/music/music" it seems to list
only the directories - could this have a bearing on why it won't update?

Or is all this a NTFS issue?? Is there a way round it?

Hi Derek,

So you can see the disk, perhaps you can try manual mount.  One potential
problem i see is your disk is NTFS formatted instead of FAT32.
