Unable to write .fsa image

[Toshik]

I wanted to create an image of my Ubuntu partition. I've loaded from System rescue cd. I had to write an image of /dev/sda10 with ext4 to /dev/sdb5 with ntfs. So I mounted /dev/sdb5 to /mnt/windows using

Code: Select all

mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt/windows

. But when I tried to copy an image to /dev/sdb5 using

Code: Select all

fsarchiver savefs /mnt/windows/ubuntu.fsa /dev/sda10

I've got this

Code: Select all

[errno=30, Read-only file system]: archwriter.c#116,archwriter_create(): cannot create archive /mnt/windows/ubuntu.fsa

.
I've checked directory /mnt/windows and it's "read only". How to make it "read-write"? And how to make image in this situation?

There are two sort of ntfs drivers in linux:
1) the kernel driver that you have used which has an incomplete write support
2) ntfs-3g which is implemented in user-space has full read-write support

You just have to mount it this way:

Code: Select all

ntfs-3g /dev/sdb5 /mnt/windows

It works. Thanks for reply
