Ok i found a program made by a member here on xda that is called gscript its on market in a lite ver(ad supported) and the full witch gets updates faster well with this program you can create shortcuts on your home screen to scripts you want to run so you can make a script and not have to type in shell commands every time you want to mount your ntfs drive. you will need to be rooted and have super user installed
1. Ok to do this first you must have a custom kernel that supports ntfs pershoot's and clemsyn's both do this.
2. get gscript full or lite from market
3. tap the menu or settings button on right side of the gtab(the one between home and back button dont know what its called)
4. select new script. add a name for the script and then type
mount -o umask=000 -t ntfs /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk
Save the script
create a second script labled unmount and type
umount /mnt/usbdisk
save the script
5. once saved go to you're home screen and perform a long press this will bring up a menu that will allow you to select shortcut once you do select
gscript this will boot gscript select you're mounting script this will place a shortcut on the home screen so you can use it with one touch without having to type that long command into a terminal!
you can also up the the unmount command infront of the mount command like this
umount /mnt/usbdisk
mount -o umask=000 -t ntfs /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk
this will unmount any drives that you had hooked up before and mount your new one not sure if this script works on fresh boots tho i had a mess up where it would not mount the drive but i dont know if it was the script or me
Why not just put umount /mnt/usbdisk at the begining of each script
That way it unmounts it each time and not cause any errors
yes you can do that i just quickly made this after i found it so there is always room for improvement.
guess nobody else has used this?
I have not tried it, but I will once I get back to my desk. Have to format something to ntfs.
Seems like my tab doesn't have enough power for my 750gb ext HD this would be useful if only the HD worked. I remember when I had my G2 I showed people how to use GScript to overclock and I was popular for a bit, had so many PM's for help request and so many people thanking me lol. GScript is just awesome
ya the drive i am using has its own power plug so that's not a issue but this will also work with ntfs formatted flash drives.
Why not just use Mount Manager from Market? Automatically mounts your shares when your on wifi.
That's no click mounting!
um because you might not have wifi to share your computers share folder or might be far away from your home. this is made to mount a ntfs formated thumb drive or portable hard drive right on the gtab no other computers required. like what im going to do with it i have a 320gb WD portable hard drive going to load it with movies so when me and my family go on out trip here soon we can watch movies. cant do that with if your trying to get your share folders from home
Works great! Thanks for the script.
Yes, thank you very much. I love this forum.
Thanks, works well
It not working for me.... I am getting the following message.
stderr : failed.
stderr : mount: no such device
Try on 40gb and 320gb hitachi
I am on vegan5.11 with pershoot kernel.. I think ...
help...Anyone..
are they formated ntfs?
are you using drives that have thier own power source or trying to use the gtabs? they might not be getting enought power to run if using the gtab
Ok after some farting around i got it figured.
Plug in the hard drive to the gtab Before you power the gtab up if you can power the drive first, second make two scripts one for mounting and one for unmounting that way it there will be no conflict this is how i got it to work
Both my hdd are formatted with ntfs with additional power input.
I am still having the same error with the 2 separate scripts.
stderr : failed ---- for the umount script
stderr : mount: no such device ----- for the mount script
It might be due to my setup...
I will try this again when I try other rom and kernel.
Thanks Xargon321
try having your hd plugged in before you power on you gtab and see how that works. also make sure you giving gscript super user permissions.
tried the script thing. I get a no such device error too. Even tried powering it down, plugging in the 16GB NTFS flash drive, powering up the gtab, and running script. No such luck for me
Try using clemsyn's kernel. That's the one I have been able to get it to work on. I think pershots mounts it to a different directory so my script wont work.
Also make sure its plugged in and powered before you turn on your gtab
for pershoot's kernel you would use:
mount -o umask=000 -t ntfs /dev/block/sda /mnt/usbdisk
That should work.
also make sure that you download the libraries and put them in /system/lib, Then you could also add a line to the on-click script to use the NTFS library. Your script would like something like this:
insmod /system/lib/modules/fs/ntfs/ntfs.ko
umount /mnt/usbdisk
mount -o umask=000 -t ntfs /dev/block/sda /mnt/usbdisk
That is what my script looks like on pershoot's kernel.

Hi
I have a 32 Gb class 4 microsd card and I want to have the ability to get files greater than 4 gb there (need bigger images for LinuxOnAndroid).
Have checked that the kernel is compiled with support for ext2 ("cat /proc/filesystems" shows ext2) but when I plug in sdcard in ext2 or even a flash drive with ext2 through USB-OTG it says that the fs is not recognized.
Probably, something should be done with fstab or I should compile and copy some kernel modules? In kernel config ext2 seems to be compiled to kernel so should be no need for modules
What can I do?
Thanks
Yess, I have the same problem. Devs, people, please create a kernel for N8000/N8010/N8013 and other Galaxy Note 10.1 that will be able to mount such filesystems and there are OTG cable issues with the firmware. Please include all of these fixes in one kernel. I want to see something like the Siyah Kernel which was made for SGS2 and SGS3
Thanks
Some success
Got the sdcard mounted with
mount -o rw -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/extSdCard
but in this way the note still says it has no sdcard. At least i can read it with filemanagers
I'm not sure if you can load updates that are out, but both OTAs in the US fixed exFat support on the 8013 Note 10.1.

I want ext2, not exFAT as my primary system is Ubuntu and moreover Android is more like Linux than some Microsoft stuff
My N8000 has support for exFAT as sdcard fs, but why not ext2?
Why not go for EXT4 instead of EXT2?
There hasn't been much need for this at the moment, if you ask a dev nicely they might look into it. I'd probably look into either the sgs3 forum, note /note 2 or sgs2 forums for devs who have done this on other devices...

I don't know which kernel you installed, but with my kernel you don't need any modules at all - just mount and go.

Yes as _that says if you choose his kernel from the options then CIFS MOUNT works as it always does
Also you should upgrade to CROMi-X 5 found here
Hy and many thanks for your fast support.
I have tried with those 2 kernels:
TF700: Asus 10.6.1.14.8 Modded Stock Kernel V4 / By That.
and

I also dont know what wend wrong here...
I have checked and disebled Firewall in my Fritz.Box and on my PC, nothing was blocked.
And yes, connected via the same Router over Wlan.
With ES File Explorer I have acces to the Directorys on my PC.
Now I have Installed Cromi V5 and it has Data2SD Kernels and Support.
Now first start runs and I will try it with new Rom...
New Rom is installed, but also here I have some Problems, not only with cifs...
Now cifs Error is again, no such file or directory...
...but I have found an other possibility to play my Files on Asus Pad.
Splashtop and Power Cinema V5 on PC. Works fine. I have full control over the tab to the pc desktop. Start Power Cinema, choose Music and the Sound comes from the Tablet only, I can also browse and start an play all my Files...
Is not the perfect way, but now I will try to connect the Pad via mini-HdMI-HDMI to my Yamaha Receiver.
Also I think that was not a clean installation.
I have flshed first mod_Data2SD.zip and bevor that I have wiped Cache and Dalvik.
Than I have flashed also with perform a full wipe the new Cromi V5 and the second Kernel I have choosen.
After the Reboot, all Apps, installed in the Crome V4.7 are still there...
Maybe I have some missunderstandings about Data2SD using.
I have to read and read again.
This is not my first Android an Flash... I have flashed some HTC, Samsung, unlocked, rootet ans so on, but the Asus confused me...
Hope for changes...

Well if you had data2sd on 4.7 and updated to 5.0 then you will still see the apps. I force it to use the correct partition regardless of the mount-data2sd file being flashed....
Yes, I also think so...
But where is a possibility to format the second ext4 Partition on SDCard???
There is no way in the first flash, modData2SD and nothing by flashing the CromiX.
I only can format SDCard, but this formats only the first Partition. I have a 16 GB Class 10 UHS 1 mSD Card, one Part is 10 GB second Part is ~4 GB. If I format the SD Card, only the 4 GB will be formated.
I think, this is the beginning of all my Problems here with cifs and so on.
I have seen, that the error "No such Device or Directory" doesnt mean the path to the PC, it means the path to the mountpoint. Under mnt/cifs is nothing Named like Music aand I cant create it there, its a read only file system...
So what can I do to become a really clean installation with nothing old in it?
Have I to flash first without Data2SD Support, than maybe instal a partition Manager for Android to format the ext4 Part on SD and than flash again but now with Data2SD???

I don't understand how your card is set up. Is the Ext4 partition 4GB? That isn't really big enough.
Also if you want wipe the 4GB ext4 then you must flash the mount-data2sd first in twrp.....

Yes, but the initial formatting must be done on a Linux system (or from the command line in Android with a proper mke2fs binary).
No no, missunderstanding...
10 GB is the ext4 Partition, 4 GB ist the rest from the total 16 GB IHS 1 Class 10 mSD Card.
And I did this as well, first flash the mount Data2SD.zip file, and I also wiped there, than I reboot, Power off and go again to twrp and flash the CromiX5 with Kernel how supports Data2SD an perform a full Wipe...
Allways there are still all apps on SDCard, I cant controll it, I dont have a Linux system here...
After the flashs I have only a updated Cromi, not a new system.
First boot runs and its like before.
Is there no way to format the 10 Gb ext4 Partition? Win7 x64 and Acronis could´nt read the ext4.
ooops, I did it again...
I have seen, that I can format the ext4 with paragon partitons manager suite 11 I have installed.
Is this a conform format for this job?

In my Tablet ist shows only 4 GB, the 10 GB I cant see.
Retest with Acronis Disc Director Suite 11 and it shows 4 GB Fat32 first part and 10 GB second Part as unformated.
A friend has done the partition and format Job for me, so how can I change this??
Can a take Paragon to create first Part ext4 10 GB and the rest 4 GB Fat32 for this job?
What a f....
Now the using of Data2SD is history.
From 7am to 1pm I have tried to format an correct the Partitionstype of my 16 GB Class 10 UHS 1 mSD Card but it was only wasting time.
I have tried these jobs with MiniTool Partitions Manager Home Edition and SD Formatter.
Here I found a german page with Infos to create a ext4 Partition:
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/android_forum/219275-ext4_partition_erstellen.html
But the Card was useless in PC and Tablet.
Now I have a fresh Installation, without Data2SD, but all my Apps are gone and not recovered by Market Place.
So I have to flash again.
Have someone here a Link to an Howto to create ext4 10GB first Partition an the rest ~4 GB with Fat32?
I´m helpless and frustrated.
So please, give some help.

People in the Data2SD thread said that MiniTool doesn't work correctly and that you have to use a Linux-based partitioning and formatting utility, e.g. gparted.
And if you create your ext4 partition first, it won't be usable for Data2SD either. As the documentation of my Data2SD add-on says, the ext4 partition must be the second primary partition.
I'd suggest you attack one problem after the other - this thread was originally about some CIFS problems - are these fixed now?
No nothing is fixed an I have created this thread to fix the problems.
All goes hand in hand.
Without a clean installation of cromi nothing works, than all apps are still there with all the errors. If I cant instal properly correct than I have the same problems like bevor.
This all I have told ya, here in this thread.
Normaly the mount data2sd.zip has to format the ext4 partition while flashing and perform a wipe, but this was not happend. After flashing mount data2SD.zip, reboot and flashing than cromix5 with full wipe all former installed apps an accounts are still there, and so I have overtaken all old problems too.
So I've been trying different Android 13 roms bc I was looking for a specific feature. I finally found one that works, only to discover it can't recognize my 128gb, or any NTFS usb drive (recognizes fat32 no issues). I did a research but I only found work arounds through apps but this won't work bc I use the drive for Swift backup and restore. Is there a fix for this issue? Device is rooted.
thanks in advance

you can't implement NTFS support that simple since VOLD manages your external file systems. It would be much easier not to take NTFS.

You are going to flash a custom kernel to be able to use NTFS with a Magisk Module? Then trying to use a USB stick with NTFS (which could be an unstable connection) for saving your backup files created with Swift Backup? Sounds quite complicated.

No mate! I meant there was solutions back in the day to add ntfs fs through custom kernel and through Magisk mods, not together. Been using ntfs USB sticks for titanium/swift/nand backup and restore for 10 years never had an issue. I rarely save backups on internal storage
