If it's for an external device, that should be the only thing to do.

I configured the fstab file like this:
Code:
# /dev/hda5 /media/Storage ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 1
If you comment the line (#) that will not work ;)

hum, before going further, could you tell how did you make mounted automaticly with ntfs-3g ?
gnome-mount replace actually pmount and should not be use anymore.
Edit, you can reply to the bug if you want.
Edit2, hum, wait a bit, i'll improve my reply ;)
Edit3, ok that's done. But don't have yet a proper solution.

Thanks, givré! I now understand much better. Is there a timeframe for fuse 2.6? And did you have more questions for me or did you answer them all yourself? :-)
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
fuse = kernel module + userspace utility.
The latest fuse kernel module, needed for latest ntfs-3g, was merge with linus tree with 2.6.20-RC1, so i think it's already in feisty.
But the version of fuse in feisty is still 2.5.3, because debian didn't move yet to the latest version. Don't know what they are waiting, there is already a bug file.
The problem is that the latest ntfs-3g require fuse > 2.6, and so things can't move until they update fuse. I hope it will happens soon.
When fuse will be ready, ntfs-3g will follow and you'll be able to use gnome-mount safely.
If you can't wait, you can get latest fuse & ntfs-3g here :

Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
I followed the tutorial. I then restarted my computer. It detects the external hd, but when I try to open it, I get this error:
mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/external
How do I fix this? Is there a root Nautilus browser? That way, when I try to open it, it should mount it as root.
If not, how do I fix this?

Let me see your /etc/fstab.
Thanks

hehe, this is an external device, you should remove it from fstab, and it let the system automount it.
Code:
External device are automatically configure when plug, so you don't need to do this part for them.

Without the part in fstab, it mounts it read-only. I need write support.
