I have posted before and Though I fixed it but i haven't... Here is the issue
I have had XBMCbuntu running for over a year on a 250 gb Hard drive. It's connected to my system in the office to stream movies to it. It runs well for the most part. I have decided to get a 3 TB drive and plug it into the xbmc system. This is where i'm running into problems. I thought i had everything setup properly but I don't.
I wanted Windows to have access to the drive so I created 2 Partions using NTFS. one is 1.8TB the other 1.0 TB I was able to mount the 1.0TB drive to /media I have never been able to get the other to mount to anything. I have tried to make a mount point called /movies. It fails every time. I decided to start over thinking maybe i screwed up the paritions. Using Webmin (since i'm not at home right now but do have shh access) I delete the partition and I have attempted to recreate with errors(error is listed below) Part of the problem is my lack on knowledge. I would almost consider myself a linux novice still even though i used FreeBSD in the late 90's things have changed.
I really hope someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I know it's a knowledge issue. If needed I can set it to a external IP address if someone can help that way too.
Error Creating partion is as follows
Failed to save partition : parted -s /dev/sdb unit cyl mkpartfs primary NTFS 0 264801 failed : WARNING: you are attempting to use parted to operate on (mkpartfs) a file system. parted's file system manipulation code is not as robust as what you'll find in dedicated, file-system-specific packages like e2fsprogs. We recommend you use parted only to manipulate partition tables, whenever possible. Support for performing most operations on most types of file systems will be removed in an upcoming release. No Implementation: Support for creating ntfs file systems is not implemented yet.
