Dear All Masters,
Using USB OTG, I'am able to read flashdisk with FAT disk format. When I plugged Removable HDD with NTFS format by the help of usb powered Hub, it says that the file system is not supported.
My question is:
Does kernel of gtab 2 10.1 support NTFS file system? If yes, how can I mount NTFS harddrive?
If not, could you tell me which kernel support it?
Thanks in advance.
I would like to know this aswell
The stock kernel does not support NTFS, you would need a custom kernel that added NTFS file system support to do this.

Thanks for the answer..
I saw in many threads in Galaxy S2 lounge, custom kernel support the NTFS file system. Can we apply that kernel to Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 inch?
Well seems like "there's an app for that", hahaha.

i know the usb ports on the dock supprt ntfs read/write but has anyone tried ntfs formatted microsd? i wont be able to check mine til i get home. but i would't see why it can't. it would be nice to store an 8 GB video file on the sdcard. even if the tf wouldn't be able to play it
i'm pretty sue clockwork won't get along with ntfs though.
where did you hear the dock supported NTFS? to my understanding linux can't read that so nothing on the device should be able to support NTFS.

Actually linux reads (and write) NTFS quite fine.
For NTFS support linux uses NTFS-3g (free) or Tuxera (commercial). The questions is - did Asus add NTFS drivers? Some users of Transformer say it did and that it works.

interesting. I just figured that since all the android devices have never supported NTFS, at least the ones i've owned.
if i had a blank SD card i'd try it for you, but all mine have way to much data on it to try.
If at least the USB ports work thats nice cause i can then move my HD movies onto a 32GB flash drive. instead of trying to somehow get them under 4GB.
Honeycomb does not have native NTFS support built into the kernel but there is a custom ROM available that has this feature quoted "The Transformer's first custom kernel with CIFS/TUN/NTFS compiled in"
See: "[ROM] PRIME! v1.2 | Fast | Rooted | Deodexed" in the dev section of this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052380
I have no idea if this would help with the NTFS microSD access you asked about.
I just formatted to NTFS on a class 10 wintec 16gb microsd. Doesn't work. I'm on stock honeycomb.
Back to fat32 i go!

Maybe the people that reported NTFS working used this kernel. I didn't pay attention to what they were writing much because am not using NTFS. But I was almost sure they were talking about a Transformer with stock firmware. Well aparently I was wrong, sorry for spreading misinformation.
ntfs formatted western digital passport does work very well on the usb port though....strange that microsd doesn't
At the time of my initial test i was using paul's rom from modaco. There wasn't any mention of ntfs support in the notes. Eifher i missed the note or he corgot to include the change.
Fyi archos tabets support ntfs read.
From what I read the NTFS support was add in the v1.2 release of that PRIME custom ROM. Maybe you were using an earlier version. The last edit of that forum post was "6th May 2011 at 12:55 AM" which I assume was when the new PRIME ROM v1.2 version was released.
i didn't try th prime rom til yesterday.i was on modaco while doingthe exthd test.
did a noob thing hereand posted efore searching .someon else asked the question and said the stock tf bas ntfs support otb according to the manual. i havent pulled mine out yet to verify.
Bump, trying to figure out if prime 1.3 will support NTFS SDCARD.
I am running Stock TF101 with 3.1 Android and the dock supports NTFS USB Media and Sd-Card NTFS Media very well.
So NTFS with any media that connects to the dock works, at least all i could get hold of these included some USB-Sticks from 512 MB to 8 GB and USB 3.0 2.5" 1TB HDD. Also SD-Cards and my microSD in an SD Adapter works.
But here comes the strange part if i remove the microSD out of the Adapter and put it into the tablet it won't work. Yes the same card that worked 10 seconds before in the dock.
For anyone that finds this thread in the future: The MicroSD card is expected to be FAT formatted and therefore, will not automatically mount if it is NTFS. But, since NTFS is supported on the tablet, you can manually mount the MicroSD and it will work fine when formatted as NTFS. You'll need root and someway to run the below commands.
Mount:
Code:
mkdir /data/Removable/MicroSD
mount /dev/block/vold/179\:9 /data/Removable/MicroSD

I've tried entering the script in Terminal Emulator, but get
"Usage: mount [-r] [-w].... etc.."
This means there's something wrong with the code?
Found this thread through google search. I have a 32gb patriot class 10 micro sd card - just formatted to ntfs and android 3.2 reads it natively. Not yet rooted either.
I too, am on a stock Android 3.2 with a NTFS formated 32 GB class 10 microSDHC. My Asus Transformer tablet works fine, and can read files off of the memory card. I haven't tried the dock's memory card reading slot, but I presume it'll just work the same.

You should be able to navigate into the actual directory:
/dev/block/vold/179 ...
If not, it might be elsewhere, slightly different location, like
/dev/block/vold/<another number?>
or
/dev/block/<another directory>/179
etc.
Once you find the actual flash directory it should be easy to mount to a known location. I am not rooted so I can not look on mine for differences.
What this implies... it might require a script or configuration to auto mount in any configuration. On LINUX this is handled a bunch of different ways depending on the kernel version, and likely similar on Android OS.
Good luck.

Confirmed! Same here I have 16GB ADATA class 10 microSDHC, NTFS formated. Works on my tablet not root just stock 3.2.
Picked up a Xoom last night, came home, did the ICS update OTA, rooted it and am good to go except it doesn't read NTFS. I want to watch movies on it and using Fat32 am limited to 4 gig file sizes.
I searched but couldn't find anything useful, how can I add the ability for ICS to mount and read NTFS?

I have the same issue. I think EOS ICS ROM has NTFS USB OTG support, but I was unable to mount the SD card.
Guys, why would you want NTFS on an SD Card? Fat32 should fit your file needs.
NTFS has extra Windowz giberish that doesn't let it be friendly with our devices. NTFS Was designed to enable file and file system security, just like what Linux has native with EXT.

I would want NTFS because it does not impose a 4 gig file limit, FAT32 does.
It's not a huge deal since I converted some hd movies to 720p baseline profile, bitrate 3500 and the size is about 2 gigs per hour. I am ok with that but NTFS support would be nice.

My reason is for the >2 gig file size limitation as well. the OTG USB supports NTFS and ext4, I believe.

You need a custom rom for that...try EOS ICS nightlies of your device's flavor.

I don't really want to blow away my configs, home screen, apps reinstalling. I was hoping for maybe a kernel replacement that doesn't require a wipe.
Thanks though

Then look into the newest Rogue kernel, I think it would work with ICS...I'm not sure what USB host mode features it has.

wich rom can fully support ntfs ?
I have the Tab 7.7 p6800 version.
It is now using Android 4.04 version.
I have .mkv video files that are 5-6 GB in size and I can only copy it to my microSD card if it is formatted in NTFS .
However, I don't think android recognize NTFS.
Is there a ROM that allows me to play 5-6 GB video files?
Try the app Paragon NTFS. You should be able to mount an NTFS sdcard.
It is possible if you upgrade to JB 4.1.2 firmware and use my SkyHigh kernel.
The kernel supports native automatic mounting of exFAT microsdcards and RW of USB-OTG thumb drive using the latest official Samsung exFAT drivers.
NTFS RW for USB-OTG is also supported, but you'll need an app such as "paragon" to auto mount. I haven't tested NTFS microsdcard though.
Have a read of the kernel thread Posts #1 to 3 and make up your own mind if the upgrade or any potential risk (no matter how tiny) is for you.
As per instructions, the kernel can be flashed via Odin, mobile Odin or a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP).
There is plenty of info about regarding P6800 DXMD3 firmware download and instructions to flash.
Up to you now to do your own research and decide what you need.
Good luck.

Hi,
Is there a way to read/write to NTFS HDD on my sm-p605 on stock ROM? My device is rooted.
Ive tried using paragon from playstore but it does not mount.
Kindly help if you can. Thanks

Do you mean read/write to your PC HDD?
If not your phone does not have a HDD, instead it uses flash memory not formatted in NTFS

Well If it's a USB HDD it is unlikely to work as mobile phones don't offer enough power over USB to keep an HDD running (Not any that I have tried anyway) but if it is in another PC or NAS then you should be able to as there are many apps (Not that I can remember any but I'll have a look)
