here i can see the dislocker-file file ,

root@X201:/media/windows# mount -o loop dislocker-file /media/mount
ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Permission denied

what does this "Permission" mean ? i use root already .

It can mean different things:

• It can be a sudo issue: try using dislocker after you su to root.
• It can be your mount version needing the -o ro argument, as you use the -r argument of dislocker.

Any news on this @vipzrx?

I'm Italian, I don't speak English very well.

I've the same problem:

root@adriano-N150P-N210P-N220P:/media# dislocker-fuse -r -V /dev/sdc2 -p219010-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- /media/bitlocker

root@adriano-N150P-N210P-N220P:/media# mount -o loop /media/bitlocker/dislocker-file /media/mount

ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Permesso negato

root@adriano-N150P-N210P-N220P:/media# mount -o r,loop /media/bitlocker/dislocker-file /media/mount

ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Permesso negato

P.s.: I've tried with sudo comand too, but I get the same results

Any tips?

Hi, the option to mount a partition as read-only for mount.ntfs is ro, not r, thus try this command instead after running dislocker:
mount -o ro,loop /media/bitlocker/dislocker-file /media/mount

[MassimilianoN]

You are right.
Problem solved, thank you :)

P.s.: First I restarted the system. Probably that's not important...

[Aorimn]

It shouldn't be important indeed. I'm glad it works for you!

Had the same issue and worked for me. Thx

In my case, this solved the problem:
ntfs-3g -o ro,recover dislocker-file /media/mount
Turns out that ntfs-3g spits the "permission denied" error when other stuff was the cause... like hibernated windows volumes etc.
