So I have the 6TB external HDD that I use as a NAS in combination with an raspberry pi and samba. Recently I physically connected the hard disk to a windows laptop with usb cabel and transferred some files from window to the hard disk. Few day later I am trying to connect the external HDD to the raspberry pi but i something is wrong... I reinstall the OS (raspberrypi OS lite), I then run command
sudo fdisk -l
But what I see is different that earlier,
Disk /dev/sda: 5.5 TiB, 6001175125504 bytes, 11721045167 sectors
Disk model: Backup+ Hub BK
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 39B54FAE-85DF-4292-B470-D242UGTO7F
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1 34 262177 262144 128M Microsoft reserved
/dev/sda2 264192 11721043967 11720779776 5.5T Microsoft basic data
Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.
This also result in not being possible to mount the drive. When I try to mount it I get this error, which I have never seen before
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:586 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.19.118-v7l+/modules.dep.bin'
modprobe: FATAL: Module fuse not found in directory /lib/modules/4.19.118-v7l+
ntfs-3g-mount: fuse device is missing, try 'modprobe fuse' as root
So my fear is that windows have now changed some formatting of the harddisk and that it no longer work with linux. If this is the case, I really hope that someone can tell me that there is a way to fix this without losing all the data on the drive 😱 Please help
modprobe fuse
as root". Well, did you? What happened?mount
command, explicitly specify the type of filesystem with the-t
option. Try-t ntfs
and-t vfat
.-t ntfs
