I am having issues with the:
"sudo apt-get install ntfs-3" command it keeps throwing me an error saying "Couldn't find package ntfs-3g"
I also tried the "sudo fdisk -l | grep NTFS" and get nothing.
The drive has always shown up in the file browser I just can access it all all it just tell me unable to mount.
Hi minority,
Could you post the result of
here please.Code:sudo fdisk -l
Also, there is no amd64 package in my repo for the moment. Is's probably the reason if you install the 64 bit version.
Note that 64bit is not supported by the author of ntfs-3g because he couldn't test it on this arch. But some people report success, so you can try to compile them from source.

I am actually have it installed on an old G3 powermac. Will it not work on it?

I think this will not work. I red some things about
big endian problem with ntfs-3g, so you should not try it
until it is solve (if it is one day).
But i might be wrong. You should ask that in the forum or in the
user mailling list of www.linux-ntfs.org, i think it's the best place
for that.

thanks, it works perfect...
this solve many problems switching from winblows to ubuntu
good work...
a silly question: how can i remove the disk icon from the desktop?
but not the other mounted disk icons (like usb disks)... only the one created from the ntfs-3g howto
and search in apps>nautilus>desktop or something like that, it should be there.Code:gconf-editor
If not, search for 'desktop'.
But try to read at least the last post, i just answer this question a few hour ago

I have a 65MB USB (Fat32) and I tried to write a text file onto it then I took out my USB and then put it back in and the size of the file is 0 byte.
Now, intead of pulling it out first, what I do is right-click and "EJECT" then pull it out physicall. My question is: Why do I have to right-click eject everytime I want the data to be 100% written to the USB?
I'm just curious.
Because usb key are mounted with the noatime option
But because all information couldn't be transfer when in use, it will finish the job when it unmount the device (ie when you eject the device). It's why it could take so much time sometimesLinux has a special mount option for file systems called noatime that can be added to each line that addresses one file system in the /etc/fstab file. If a file system has been mounted with this option, reading accesses to the file system will no longer result in an update to the atime information associated with the file like we have explained above. The importance of the noatime setting is that it eliminates the need by the system to make writes to the file system for files which are simply being read. Since writes can be somewhat expensive, this can result in measurable performance gains. Note that the write time information to a file will continue to be updated anytime the file is written to. In our example below, we will set the noatime option to our /chroot file system.
Anyway, in general, it's highly recommanded to unmount device at the end of use.
