    Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support

    I have done everything on this thread, probably in the wrong order, and everything on my computer now seems messed up.

    NTFS does not mount at all.

    @nikola:~$ sudo ntfsmount /media/hda1 /media/hda1 -o gid=1001,umask=0007
    Use the force option to work with files.
    Mount failed.

    ls -l /media
    total 12
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2006-04-27 17:56 cdrom -> cdrom0
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-04-27 17:56 cdrom0
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2006-04-27 17:56 floppy -> floppy0
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-04-27 17:56 floppy0
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-05-01 00:00 hda1

    hda1 is the NTFS partition

    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
    /dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
    /dev/hda8 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
    #/dev/hda1 /media/hda1 ntfs defaults 0 0
    /dev/hda5 /tmp ext3 defaults 0 2
    /dev/hda6 /usr ext3 defaults 0 2
    /dev/hda7 /var ext3 defaults 0 2
    /dev/hda4 none swap sw 0 0
    /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
    /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
    /dev/hda1 /media/hda1 ntfs-fuse auto,gid=1001,umask=0002 0 0

    I have done everything and I know this information above is wrong. cause it doesn't work. I even installed fuse from the dapper packages and now when I boot my computer the "PCI" module fails along with the "filesystem" module.

    frustrated. I love ubuntu and I have had no trouble with previous HowTo's. This one is giving me a headache.

    Help!!

    II - Get the latest ntfsprogs package


    Note: You will be downloading these directly from the Dapper repositories, so they are safe to install.

    * libntfs8
    * ntfsprogs
    * libfuse2
    * fuse-utils

    =========================
    I clicked on the link... what am I supposed to do afterwards to get these files installed? Firefox suggested that I open the link with the default, and I did that. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do next. Are the files installer files? Where do they go? Sorry, new to this.

    use add/remove applications or synaptic package manager or aptitude or apt-get install etc.
    select and install the listed packages
    python -c 'import this'

    Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support

    I'm sorry for asking such a stupid question, but how do I know if my device is hda1, hd0..?
    Windows is in the same HD as Ubuntu, different patitions.
    Also, I only have one SATA HD.

    YaNos,

    If you installed windows first and then ubuntu and can dual boot with no problems then reading "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" might tell you which is ntfs.

    Also there is a "fdisk" command in this thread somewhere I think that will also tell you all your partitions and what ubuntu has them named as. I can't remember off hand what the command was.

    Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support

    Thanks a lot, morequarky

    my fstab(changed it following the tutorial) is like

    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
    /dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
    /dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0
    /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
    /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
    /dev/hda0 /media/hda0 ntfs-fuse auto,gid=1001,umask=0002 0 0 <-- line added accordinly to the tut

    I guess i've done something wrong there?

    Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support

    I have issues with my ntfs too. Here is what I did today.

    I reinstalled Breezy. After installing hda1 is automatically on my desktop. But when I click on it, it says I can't access it. I go to "System - Administration - Disks" in disk I look at the hda1 (the ntfs partition). There is a browse button. I click it and it allows me to browse windows no problem. I can't "write" to it, but I will work on that later.

    I am going to try to stay away from Dapper until it is finished. Breezy is fine with me.

    Well, it does seem you did do something wrong! I take it you have edited you /etc/fstab file yourself in the past...?
    The thing that puzzles me in your file is the "/dev/hda0" use in there, particular the zero(0) after hda!

    In Linux systems, "hda" stands for the first physical IDE hard-disk in your system, "hdb" for the second and so on...
    "hda1" is the first partition in the first physical hard-disk, "hda2" the second partition and so on...

    "hda0" is for the disk-descriptor/partitions-table/MBR or the like, which you are NOT supposed to mount!!!
    So you obviously have something wrong there! Your ntfs would most certainly be located in "hda1"... BUT... your root Linux partition seems to be in "sda2" (a SCSI disk?), not "hda2"... So unless you have two disks (one IDE and one SCSI), your NTFS partition should probably be "sda1"...

    I know this is far from all-the-info-you-need, but I think you might be able to figure it out by yourself with these directions...
    It is quite safe to play around with your (un)mounted non-root partitions - just as long as you keep your root partition line intact, providing it is currently working - in your system that's the line starting with "/dev/sda2" and marked by the root-mountpoint ("/")...

    Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support

    @ morequarky:

    You must be trying to access your NTFS partition as a regular user, without administrative priviledges.

    What happens when use the "Disks" application is you get asked for your password so that you do get those priviledges...
    You can do the same by invoking nautilus from a command-line as such:
    Code:
    gksudo nautilus
    and then browse to your Windows folder.

    Another way around it is to give access to your NTFS to all users, by adding the option "umask=0002" to your ntfs line in /etc/fstab. My /etc/fstab looks like this:
    Code:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
    proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
    /dev/hda5       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
    # /dev/hda1       /windows        ntfs    defaults        0       0
    /dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
    /dev/hdd        /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
    /dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
    /dev/hda1    /windows    ntfs-fuse    auto,gid=1001,umask=0002    0    0
    This way, you can just go to that partition without priviledges, using no-matter what program, without being asked a thing...
