By default, the Amazon Fire TV only recognizes USB drives and microSD cards formatted with a FAT32 file system. This poses a problem for storing and accessing files larger than 4GB, since that’s the limit of the FAT32 file system. If your device is, you can mount drives and cards using other file systems, like NTFS, and access files stored on them within apps like Kodi.

This issue can occur if your USB HDD is not fully powered up, before the filesystem mounting service (fstab) is completed. Resolution: Add a boot delay to cmdline.txt. The default /etc/fstab used in DietPi will automatically mount a single connected ext4/ntfs drive from /dev/sda1 to /mnt/usb_1. Modifying the fstab entry to UUID is not required, unless you plan to have more than 1 USB drive.

You can download it from. Launch Paragon.

Maybe i didn’t express myself clearly (english is not my language if it wasn’t clear btw:D ) I have attached a 32gb ntfs drive to my firetv. But by using stickmount or even the app in this guide (Paragon) it creates a folder inside the internal storage where you can access your ntfs drive. So far so good.
But the system doesn’t see the free space on my ntfs drive. So if i have 30gb free space inside my drive but only 4gb free in my firetv internal storage, when i try to download a file bigger than 4gb i get a failure messsage saying i don’t have enough free space to download the file. I hope i did explain it better this time. Don’t worry I am not native either and I know what you mean now.:) I have that too, but that is to be expected you can not download apps to it, as it is not formatted as usb storage that can be used for apps and games which requires fat32. Before firetv1 had usb support you could and I expect you still can format a harddrive as ext4 and copy the system and run it from there with a small script installed from cwm. Because the firetv can not tell the difference it practically gives you unlimited internal storage. I had relatively new 1GB drive running system, and could not tell any difference in performance at all.
I then still had my old 3GB NTFS drive mounted via. Stickmount and a usb hub. Sometimes if I pulled power it could get confused about the 2 drives but when it happened the solution was as simple as to connect the system drive first, and the NTFS drive when it started booting. A lot of personal stuff happened in the meantime so I do not have it setup like that anymore, if anyone or elias know if it is still possible with latest prerooted os3 rom, it would be nice to to hear from them.:). I’ve been using Paragon to mount my 4 TB NTFS Seagate drive and play media with kodi on my rooted AFTV2 running 5.0.5.1. It’s been working fine but yesterday I unmounted to unplug the drive so it wouldn’t spin all night.
But now when I mount the drive it mounts in a new folder location (i.e.- /ParagonNTFS1). It’s actually happened twice and now all of my files are accessible through /ParagonNTFS2. Anyone have the same problem or a solution? I don’t want to have to keep changing the file location and updating my kodi library. I want to ask a related question. Just updated to FOS5 pre-rooted with TWRP recovery, and I think the mounting external usb for internal storage does not work any more (was developed in FOS3 and CWM recovery), so I followed the instruction to move kodi’s data to external usb (fat32), and I also noticed that the ftv popped out a msg saying “when needed, external storage will be used to install apps” and I do see “move to usb storage” in all those apps’ setting. Is there a specific reason we should not move all the apps to usb storage?
Back in fos3, we had to use several steps to “merge” external usb with the internal storage so that we can use more space to install apps and stuff. Thanks a lot.
'hi Whenever I mount my ntfs-formatted hard drive in centos 6.5, it always mounts with the file system 'fuseblk'.
