Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support
sYs^: You may be hitting a known ntfsprogs limitation, that is, it currently cannot delete/create on 100% of the requests.
Try deleting single files and see if it will succeed. If some work and others don't, then there's nothing to do other than wait for a newer version of ntfsprogs, I'm affraid.
Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support
ah , I see, thanks, are there any other way to write ntfs file systems?
Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support
Yes, you can use Captive (as suggested by muzaki earlier).
I have not tested it, and it isn't in the Ubuntu repositories.
Check the website: http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/
It works by emulation of a windows enviroment and loading native MS libraries to access the ntfs disks (you'll have to get these libraries yourself, from your windows installation). It should work 100% of the time, as it is actually just emulating the part of windows itself that deals with ntfs access, and, as such, I would guess it is a bit slower.
Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support
Okey, thank you again, I'll wait a little, I hope they'll fix this bug or what :p

Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support
Wow, worked like a charm. Followed your great tutorial and rebooted. Fantastic. That has fixed one of my problems dual booting!
I originally tried Captive, but it takes a very new kernel and Breezy just does not have it yet (I am too scared to try compiling my own :) ).
Thanx for the great how-to.:KS
Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support
It seemed to work at first but I found out that I can only create new files or directories if I delete an existing one. What coul it be. Ntfs-progs limitation?
Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support
I would guess so, tho I don't really know for sure.
You could try informing the developers of your problems at the ntfsprogs forums, mailing-lists, or even report a bug at the package launchpad page.
Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support
Here's what i get:
Code:
paul@thumpa:~$ sudo modprobe fuse && sudo mount -a
fusermount: failed to access mountpoint /media/hda1: No such file or directory
fuse_mount failed.
Unmounting:
Here is my fstab in case it helps:
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hda1 /media/hda1 ntfs-fuse auto,gid=1001,umask-0002 0 0
Thanks for your help, I'm supposed to be recovering a load of stuff on an NTFS drive for a customer. Don't know what I'd do without you guys.
Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support
As it says, you need to create the directory for mounting the drive to:
Code:
sudo mkdir /media/hda1
