    Hmm. fuse-tools package creates 'fuse' user automatically for me. I think using groups are the best way to grant privileges to restricted resources.

    I am running AMD64 also. Will ntfs-3g work under 32-bit chroot environment? Thanks!

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

    This is what i got when i typed "sudo umount -a"

    umount: /dev: device is busy
    umount: /var/run: device is busy
    umount: /: device is busy

    and for the next command it was this -

    fusermount: failed to access mountpoint /media/hdb1: No such file or directory
    fuse_mount failed.
    Unmounting /dev/hdb1 (HP_PAVILION)

    what have i done wrong ?

    you need to create the directory where to mount your partition:
    Code:
    sudo mkdir /media/hdb1 #in your case
    Remenber that device & mount point are different. If your drive is detected, device always exist and will be in /dev. In your case, i guess your partition is /dev/hdb1.
    Mount point is the directory where is mount your partition in your filesystem. Ex: your root partition is mounted on /
    So you have to create the directory where will be mount your partition before mounting it (it will not create it automaticly).
    I hope that will help you . 8)

    Your right, but what i wanted to say is why wanted more restriction for an NTFS partition than for an other partition not mounted by fuse. Creating a group of user, and set gid='this group' for all your partition where you want restricted permission is i think more easy. Anyway, that's just my point of view.

    I can't test it, and since i'm not really familiar with 32-bit chroot environement on 64-bit system, i don't really know if this will work.
    If you are not affraid by the experience,
    if you made some backup, and
    if you don't care of the possibility of losing a drive, i want to say let's try.
    But i don't recommand it, and i'm sure that a 64-bit version will come really soo. Have a look at www.linux-ntfs.org, you can even try to email the developper to know when they will do a 64-bit version.

    thanks for the help mate. its working perfectly now. i can even run certain windows programs on Ubuntu (with Wine of course) directly off my NTFS partition.

    is the mount permanent or do i have to "sudo mount -a" every time i want to use the NTFS partition ?

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

    I am trying this method with an NTFS formatted External USB HardDisk.

    But it fails. Normally it is mounted as /media/VAIO + /dev/sda1 .
    I entered the same values in fstab. But after that, the icon for that usb disk is not appearing on the desktop.

    But it appears on the Nautilus file Manager. When I tried to click it , it says 'Only root can mount'.

    I have a script installed in GNome to 'Open as Root'. When I right click and select 'Open as Root' for that folder(VAIO), it does not show the existing contents.

    I tried creating a new folder under /media and tried to mount. But that too did not help.


    Please help. Any help - Thanks many in Advance!

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

    I've tried installing and mounting this myself in the Kubuntu console, and I get this error:

    Couldn't mount device '/dev/hdb1': Input/output error
    Mount failed.
    I used fdisk -l to see if my computer could see this device, but all it gives me is:

    Cannot open /dev/hdb1
    However, when I go to Disks & Filesystems in the Kubuntu System Settings, it detects my second hard drive.

    Is this a hardware or a software problem?

    until it is in /etc/fstab, you don't need to do that every time.
    sudo mount -a, was just to do it without rebooting.
