    I hope ntfs-3g can be used on top of the tutorial. I tried to install ntfs-3g but got 3 errors along the way. I hope someone has better success with it.
    If anyone have any success with this please post a how to, if the ntfs-3g really is as good as described this is a major leap ahead for linux/windows compliance!! Really good for people who wants to dual boot!

    Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support

    Ok here is my problem. I get this error message:

    Code:
    Couldn't mount device '/dev/sdb5': Operation not supported
    Windows did not shut down properly.  Try to mount volume in windows, shut down and try again.
    Mount failed.
    I know this is because I didn't shutdown my windows the correct way (in fact it was a hard reset ). And I know I'll have to run scandisk to fix it, but what I also know is that I really don't want to reinstall windows. So I was wondering is there any way to fix this problem without reinstalling windows and run scandisk. I hope someone can help.

    Here's something of interest, which requires FUSE.

    Seems like great news, thanks for bringing it to our attention

    I will test this now and try to produce a debian package here for distribution, and then add it to the how-to (or completely rewrite it )

    Let's see how it goes.

    Hmm, well, if you don't use windows, I see no reason why you would keep ntfs anyway ;-P

    But if you really need to gain access to the partition you can force mounting it (although it is not recommended), or use a windows cd to run chkdsk on it - no need to install, just get to the repair console and run chkdsk on the disk.

    I was wondering that too. A temporary workaround is this:

    Paste the following into /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi (before the final </deviceinfo>):

    <device>
    <match key="volume.fstype" string="ntfs">
    <merge key="volume.is_mounted" type="bool">true</merge>
    <merge key="volume.mount_point" type="string">/media/Windows</merge>
    <merge key="volume.policy.mount_filesystem" type="strlist">fuse</merge>
    <merge key="storage.removable" type="bool">false</merge>
    <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge>
    </match>
    </device>

    Changing the mount point, of course. I've updated the bug report with this workaround at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu...lus/+bug/35354
