HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)

[st33med]

I have a problem. When I have it connect to flomertens.keo.in|87.106.22.92|:80 , it times out. I don't know what to do.

Same for me. Hopefully just down for the moment.

That's why there is mirror.
Currently, 2 are down : keo.in & cabspace.com just use the other one for now.
I'll try to come with a more reliable one in few days.

Update :
- The problem on keo.in is known and will be solve soon
- The problem on cabspace.com is unknow, and i couldn't contact any admin. I think i'll get ride of this mirror soon.

Tow rules when you search a free webhost :
- always test the service during at least 2 weeks before launching your site
- never use cabspace.com

I just used this how to and installed ntfs-3g. Works fine for reading and writing to my ntfs partition. Thanks!

I got this message after the installation though:

To work at his full capability, ntfs-3g recommend a new fuse module.
We recommend you to install it. Note also that even without it,
ntfs-3g will still work.

If you want to upgrade, have a look at /usr/share/doc/ntfs-3g/README.Debian

Thanks.

What's the advantage of doing this?

Without the latest FUSE module NTFS-3G can't work as reliably and fast because certain features are not supported in the old FUSE.
U are advised to upgrade FUSE module

I've just installed Edgy and ntfs read-write support came out of the box (with all my NTFS partitions mounted automatically). I was wondering why this is so, because ntfs-3g is apparently not installed on my system.

whkoh, hum, this is impossible.
Could you check what driver use your ntfs partition :

cat /etc/mtab
