All I can ask is for you guys post your fstab entries... don't know what else could be missing and/or how to reproduce the issues here.

Here's my /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hdb5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hda1 /media/matrox ntfs-fuse auto,gid=1002,umask=0007 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /media/samsung vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0
I am in the ntfs group, /etc/modules has fuse, sudo modprobe fuse doesn't help.
$ sudo mount -a
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-fuse'
ok, i can't get the drive to mount under NTFS group without doing it by hand with ntfsmount. The reason that my last post said that i was the owner is that i forgot that i had already just done a ntfsmount command with my uid.
ATTENTION ALL PEOPLE WITH NTFS-FUSE UNKNOWN FILESYSTEM ERROR!
Did I grab your attention?
I forgot to mention that you must correct a file link (which is a known bug in Dapper package)... sorry! I corrected it here and forgot to include it in the tutorial!
Here's what you need to do:
NMUrugbysteve: do this and check if you still have problems aswell.Code:sudo rm /sbin/mount.ntfs-fuse && sudo ln /usr/bin/ntfsmount /sbin/mount.ntfs-fuse
I will be updating the How-To. Again, sorry for the incovenience...

Thanks for that LKRaider,
I now have read/write access to my Windows partition but there is just one small item you may be able to help me with.
Is there any way to get the drive to show up on the desktop like drives normally do. Also I cannot access it through Computer. The drive shows up but when I click on the icon it says its not mounted although I can access it fine at /media/Windows with Nautilus.
I have tried mounting it as user in fstab rather than the ntfs group but it made no difference.
not a big deal because I do have access but if anyone knows how to do this I would appreciate it.

Thanks, I got the fstab ntfs-fuse working too.
I have also a small issue similar to sawjews that in Konqueror I get this error
message when trying to access the drive through media:/hda1
Could not mount device
The reported error was:
mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda1 is already mounted on /media/matrox
mount failed
But I also can access the drive fine through /media/matrox so I doesn't really matter.
LKRaider, you rock my socks. That new link totally worked.
When I do:
michael@ubuntu:~$ sudo ntfsmount /dev/hda1 /media/hda1 -o umask=0007
I get:
Here is the result of sudo fdisk -lCode:fusermount: failed to access mountpoint /media/hda1: No such file or directory fuse_mount failed. Unmounting:

Nevermind. It took me reading my own post to realize the error.
I am aware of this, and AFAIK it is a bug in the desktop support for ntfs-fuse (since I think it doesn't detect it correctly, as of yet).Originally Posted by sawjew
A workaround is to create a link on the desktop to the folder where you are mounting to (and you can even change the icon to look like other HD's).
About linking it in Nautilus tho, I couldn't do it either. I'll post a bug report there. (edit: bug #35354)
For KDE, I believe the situation is similar. You could try posting a bug report to the Konqueror package.
