ntfs-3g mounting problems

[dkla]

i'm somewhat new to using linux and have been trying to install and mount my external ntfs drive on my macbook using ntfs-3g and macfuse and fink. I got through almost everything until the very end, with mounting the drive has given me problems. i try to type in the script that I got from an instruction guide, i keep running into the following "error" message?

c-67-173-163-174:~ dk$ ntfs-3g /dev/disk0s2 /Volumes/NewVolumes -o ping_diskarb,volname="NewVolume"
Error opening partition device: Resource busy
Failed to startup volume: Resource busy
Failed to mount '/dev/disk0s2': Resource busy
Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.
The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which
could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command.

I tried searching the forums but cannot seem to find a solution. If someone can help that would be great, thx.

This a Linux Forum not a Darwin/OS X forum but I can try and help you although I have never used Darwin/OS X for more than a couple of minutes.

It appears /dev/disk0s2 is already mounted, try this although I'm not sure if it will work

sudo umount /dev/disk0s2
df -h
sudo fuser /dev/disk0s2

Post the output of the second command and try your mount command again

hey juan, thanks so far for your help and reply, i did not know i was running darwin rather than linux. i tried to enter the scripts and these are the results i'm getting?

dharmik-kamdars-computer:~ dk$ sudo unmount /Volumes/NewVolume
sudo: unmount: command not found
dharmik-kamdars-computer:~ dk$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/disk0s2 149G 98G 50G 66% /
devfs 97K 97K 0B 100% /dev

automount -nsl [173] 0B 0B 0B 100% /Network
automount -fstab [177] 0B 0B 0B 100% /automount/Servers
automount -static [177] 0B 0B 0B 100% /automount/static
/dev/disk2 10.0M 1.9M 8.1M 19% /Volumes/MacFUSE Core 0.4.0
dharmik-kamdars-computer:~ dk$ sudo fuser /Volumes/NewVolume
sudo: fuser: command not found

only the second script command "df -h" is giving me any response, everything else is showing "command not found".

So, disk0s2 is not the NTFS partition, it's your ROOT partition. I don't know if OS X got fdisk, try this anyway

sudo fdisk -l
