My new WD 1 TB cannot be mounted by my xoom. The file system is NTFS. Tried it powered by hub and powered by xoom. I get a error with Paragon NTFS and HFS+ " error code 1 fuse:mount failed: device or resource busy fuse mount error" how do I get around this?

Are you running stock ROM? NTFS is a closed format so it might be troublesome to get working unless you have stock support for it.
However there are a few hacks you can make to enable ntfs.

Easiest though is to format the drive as ext3 or ext4 (my preference). That will make the drive not regognized by windows though :/
Edit - my bad, wrong thread.

Am I doing something wrong or is NTFS not supported on Vegan 5.1?
I have tried sdcard2, a USB Thumb Drive, and USB HD all with NTFS, Vegan 5.1 does not see them says it is empty or invalid disk. As soon as I go to FAT32, works like a champ. My computer sees all 3 when formated with NTFS and I can write and read from them.
I would like NTFS so I can store large movie files for when I travel.
Thank you
Have you tried this? I beleive you still have to mount the drive manually

Moved to general
I am on Vegan 5.1 with clempatchvegan10.9.8IPv6PPOEProxy and the WIFIFIXproxy kernal updates (post 239 of Clemsyn's KERNAL corner post) and use Mount Manager from the Market to mount the files systems. I am able to mount and access my SMB networked NAS or the C drive (Vista NTFS) on my laptop without any issues. I suggest you try Mount Manager to see if it helps with your situation.

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.
Is this possible? I have been reading forums and only catch things here and there
about it but nothing confirming it. I have rooted my xoom and installed the
1.4ghz OC kernel. I have the OTG cable and when I connect it to my xoom with
my hard drive I don't see anything happen. I would appreciate if someone could
confirm if this works or not and point me in the right direction as to how to set it
up.
Thanks in advance

I am trying on a 2GB NTFS Formatted USB Stick.
I am only testing as I gave my 500gb NTFS External to a friend for the weekend and wasnt having any luck with that either although I havent tested it out with NTFS Mount.
Is there anything else I should be doing?
In 1.4.4. I was able to mount my 160gb NTFS drive, however it would NOT stay mounted...
I've switched back to 1.4.3. Testing now and it seems to be fine...
After 10 minutes it also unmounted itself...This is an older drive, not sure if its going bad, but it wasnt doing this before 1.4.4
Edit: if I unplug and remount it remounts fine...weird!
Edit2: USB Sticks and memory cards work just fine
Using the Motorola Camera Connection kit (their OTG cable):
No problem mounting a USB Stick at 16 GB formatted as FAT32 or EXT2
Recognizes the same stick and tried to mount if NTFS, but then "freaks" out (NTFS Mount can't actually mount it as NTFS, and File System gets confused) and is unable to read write.
Does not recognize either of my "self powered" USB external drives (1TB and 4TB) - no /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 appears in /dev/block unlike with the USB Stick.
This is with the Tiamat 3.1 and Kernel 1.4.4.
I heard 2TB harddrives work as well.
I don't have any proof though.
although USB is a preferred power method and a constant output of 5V (around about there)
Sometimes, the xoom is not powerful enough to power self powered hard drives, but if they come with a PSU then youll be fine.
As for Usb Sticks, thats beyond me however i think they may suffer from the same issue.
Remember, the Xoom is battery only and is not designed to be a USB power pocket unlike say, the transformer.

I can verify that my self-powered ntfs 750GB HDD works fine on HC3.2 with the Tiamat Rom 2.0 Manta Ray, when I use the free USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG app. This app also works for my 16GB FAT32 thumb drive.
I have some external drives I would like to mount to my Transformer, they contain large sets of pictures and music that I keep on a USB drive. When I plug the USB drive in it finds partition 1 which is FAT32 and happily mounts that but claims that the file system on partition 2 is unrecognized. Is there a way to adjust their mounting scripts to support ext3 partitions on external drives? I use Ext3 because it supports large files and I sometimes dump 10 to 15 G tar packages onto the drive. I guess since most new Linux installs will support read/write to NTFS maybe I should move these drives to NTFS but that just seems so wrong ;-).
I am guessing the answer will be, I have to root and probably do some crazy changes under the covers but if that is what it takes then maybe it will mean I finally take that step (although I need to wait till I decide if I am keeping my transformer).
Check to see if the kernel has support for ext3, did you try mounting it manually from the terminal? Since your'e using ext3 I'm assuming you know how to do this
I'm having mount issues with my TF700. Its unlocked and rooted, installed busybox. Stock ROM and Stock Recovery. It mounts the internal OK, mounts microSD OK, mounts SD OK. But if I plug in my external Bluray reader (with DVD inserted) It mounts USBDisk001, but is linked to my SD card which is already mounted! So now I have 2 mount links to my SDcard! I've rebooted and tried other things, but couldnt get it to work properly. So I removed the SD card. Plug in the Bluray drive and it does nothing (as expected). I open a terminal, become superuser, and mkdir /Removable/Bluray, then mount -t iso9660 /dev/block/sr0 /Removable/Bluray. It claims to have mounted Read-Only (as it should), but I enter the folder and ITS EMPTY! Whats wrong here?! I type blkid and it shows the disc Label. So it IS reading the disc. I try to unmount the disc and try again. umount /Removable/Bluray . It claims Invalid Argument as if nothing is mounted! WTF?!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. FYI, Same disc on linux and windows Machine shows files fine on same external drive.
Edit: Oh, and installing busybox didn't overwrite the original mount files. I used smart install from stericson's installer and mount is still symlinked to the original /system/bin/toolbox .
