Hello, I am having a problem mounting an external NTFS formatted USB drive on my AppleTV (3.0.2). I have installed the NitoTV smart installer, rebooted, etc. The drive is detected:

bash-2.05b# diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: type name size identifier
0: GUID_partition_scheme *149.1 GB disk0
1: EFI 34.0 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_Recovery 400.0 MB disk0s2
3: Apple_HFS OSBoot 900.0 MB disk0s3
4: Apple_HFS Media 147.6 GB disk0s4
/dev/disk1
#: type name size identifier
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *74.5 GB disk1
1: Windows_NTFS 74.5 GB disk1s1

but when I try to manually mount it, i receive the following error:

bash-2.05b# mount -a /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/NTFS
/dev/disk1s1 on /mnt/Scratch/Volumes/NTFS: Incorrect super block.

Update: I noticed I do not have mount_ntfs in /sbin. Is there an easy way to get his?

Thanks.

I am not an expert on this but if I had to attach a USB drive to an Appletv I would format it Journaled HFS+ not NTFS because I do not think it would read it

Yeah, the drive will need to be HFS+ or FAT32 if I'm not mistaken.

ntfs(by nitotv) was working on atv os 2.x but not on 3.x

Well, I was able to mount it by hand by using mount_ntfs (after pulling it from AppleTV 1.0). Still can't get it to automount, though.
