Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
I contacted the main ntfs-3g developper. The problem is related to Nautilus! When using command line, there is no problem copying big files on big partitions!

Actionhank, ok, you didn't have to install fuse 2.6 to use ntfs-3g from my repo. Just using the one from the repo should be enough. Also, did you compile your own kernel ?
mooglie, you are the third user to report this problem. i have no clue why it's happens. You'll have to live with it for the moment.
robio376, read the COMMON PROBLEM section.
slyguyr3, 1) no idea
2) what give you :
Code:
sudo umount /dev/hdb1
sudo mount /dev/hdb1

Thanks!
It shouldn't be too difficult to write such a script. Just call
Code:
mount -o remount,rw,other_options device
Use ro instead of rw for read only.

Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
Sorry this has already been discussed, but I got the message :
Volume is scheduled for check.
Please boot into Windows TWICE, or use the 'force' mount option.
when I try to mount my ntfs drive. The problem is I do NOT have Windows... although it never caused any data loss I couldn't cry about, I would like to avoid using the force option every time I mount this drive ...
thks for any help

tome4k, hum, what's happens if you do a ntfsfix and then a force mount ?
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
I don't know why but the procedure that has been published on the first post doesn't work for me.
This is my fstab file...
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/hda1
UUID=120385b3-5550-4206-b89a-e92d42f78e2a / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/hda5
#UUID=30DC3ABFDC3A7F62 /media/hda5 ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
/dev/hda5 /media/hda5 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
# /dev/hda3
UUID=2cb32946-237f-4aa4-a4fa-37f1871944ce none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
And after a re-boot the system doesn't mount the NTFS partition, however if I use this command from shell it works..
sudo ntfs-3g /dev/hda5 /media/hda5 -o force
where I'm wrong?
thanks
g.
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
Why do you use the force option ?
What's happens if you don't use it :
Code:
sudo umount /dev/hda5
sudo mount /dev/hda5
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
If I don't use the force option the system says that 'have to reboot windows twice' (can't remember exactly...)
I'm looking how to update the fstab so I don't have to edit/lunch anything...
thanks
g.
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
The better should simply to reboot in windows twice, IMO.
Use a force option in fstab is not really recommanded.
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
I already did an ntfsfix, and if I use the force option it is mounted just fine, but I can't mount it without -o force.
What I should do is reboot windows twice, but problem is : I don't have Windows...
is there no chkdsk for linux ?
