Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support
I'm getting this while I try to mount manually or by fstab my windows partition:
Code:
Couldn't mount device '/dev/hda1': Invalid argument
Mount failed.
I'm in dapper and have already made the bug fix mentioned before, my fstab is:
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdg8 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hdg5 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda1 /media/hda1 ntfs-fuse auto,gid=1002,umask=0002 0 0
/dev/hda2 /media/hda2 ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda3 /media/hda3 ext3 defaults 0 2

3 - Edit the fstab file to mount the disks
Code:
bash:~$ gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
Add a line like this:
Code:
/dev/hda1 /media/hda1 ntfs-fuse auto,gid=1002,umask=0002 0 0
If you want to read/write, use this line instead:
Code:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/c ntfs-fuse fmask=0111,dmask=0,succeed_chmod 0 0

Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support
This seems the appropriate thread to ask - how safe is this generally considered to be?
I did an install on an 80gb drive with 50gb NTFS and 30 ext3. Didn't bother with an FAT32 partition, which was probably stupid. I'm not in any way pushed for space, but it would be nice to write video and music files to the XP partition as I'm using Ubuntu 95% of the time now.
I don't want to fall victim to endless tinkering with what is essentially working and ending up with it all broken.
Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support
Does anyone know how the autodetect/automount for USB drives works enough to modify it so that ntfs drives are hot-mounted (dynamically) without needing an fstab entry? The problem with fstab is that is really best suited to permanent drives.
Write support for NTFS is fantastic, a great breakthrough for linux users. thanks to those heroes who reverse engineered and thanks to all who contribute!

I cant seen to download:

Files cannot be found on the server? Is there any place else I can download them from?
Thx.

I fixed the links on the first post, as the packages were updated.
Whenever you need a package from any ubuntu version, you can search for it at http://packages.ubuntu.com .
Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support
Thank you.
I have a big problem. I followed the instructions, then I used the command to make it work immediately, and I forgot to log-out first. I tried opening a map but it just disapeared. Then I rebooted the machine, and all files are gone now. It says 8.1gb drive. But it's a partition above 130gb. :confused:
Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support
Thank you for the how to. Worked though at all ' appeared ' to work. ntfs Group exists and user is member. Now I'm a newbie so sorry if this sounds stupid but what now. I STILL can't see the contents of the ntfs partions.. Mind you I do have an error on boot - " mounting kocal file systems FAILED " only reference I have been able to find to this message is in German thread however,,, in dark here.
