Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
I'm interested to know how to get the latest version (1.913) on Feisty or even Gutsy? The repositories are only for Dapper and Edgy?
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
This is so frustrating!
When I tried this:
Code:
/dev/sda1 /media/SimpleDrive ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0
I got the following
Code:
hui@hui-laptop:~$ sudo mount /media/SimpleDrive
WARNING: Dirty volume mount was forced by the 'force' mount option.
fusermount: failed to access mountpoint /media/SimpleDrive: No such file or directory
FUSE mount point creation failed
Unmounting /dev/sda1 (SimpleDrive)
When I tried the following:
Code:
/dev/sda1 /media/SimpleDrive ntfs-3g defaults,locale=zh_CN.UTF-8 0 0
I got this:
Code:
hui@hui-laptop:~$ sudo mount /media/SimpleDrive
Volume is scheduled for check. Please boot into Windows TWICE, or
use the 'force' mount option. For example type on the command line:
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/SimpleDrive -o force
Or add the option to the relevant row in the /etc/fstab file:
/dev/sda1 /media/SimpleDrive ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0
I am circling forever!!!

The mountpoint must exist and be an empty directory.
Code:
sudo mkdir /media/SimpleDrive
You should read How to fstab for details.

You need to do as the message says and boot into Windows twice to cause Windows to repair the partition. Only use force as a last resort.

It finally worked! Thank you for all the patience, MSSERVE!
It seems that I need to educate myself on Linux stuff.
Have a great day!

From givré's initial post:
"Feisty users don't have to deal with additionnal repository, all is already in ubuntu repo."
I'd assume it's in Gutsy too...
Not sure if that'll be the very latest version though but it most likely won't be earlier than the one in Dapper's and Edgy's repos you refer to, I'd presume...
Hope that helped.
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
I probably did something dumb, but my ubuntu Feisy terminal tells me that it can't not find the package for ntfs-3g or ntfs-config. Do I need to compile from source?
Thanks
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
can i rename my device (the ntfs one)?
because i puted a fool name...
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
I have a question, if I install ntfs-3g, will I be able to delete NTFS files? To my understanding Gnome does not support NTFS files, so the deleted files just end up being in a hidden folder. Can you make that hidden folder visible and can you delete files from that folder?
