    domino : your "test 3" works perfectly for me, you can see the drive in nautilus (computer).

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

    Yeah, domino, if you don't see it in place>cumputer, i guess it's because you have an other NTFS partition using fuse. I mention that problem earlier in the thread, but i'm to tired to search it again
    The only workaround is to make a bookmark, hacking the code will not work for that.
    Anyway, the ultimate solution is not yeat there.

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

    Yea, I guess that's why we need more than 1 tester :). I just remembered that I added the ext drive to udev's 10-local.rules. Damn, I almost forgot about that. I'll remove it and post back in a bit.

    edit: here is my fstab. Does it matter that i have 2 other ntfs partitions usinf ntfs-3g and enabled?

    Code:
    # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
    proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0

    and my return looks like this.

    etc/fstab looks like this:

    looking forward to your reply, Thanks!




    @jjtechno & paulji: That's a known false alert. If gedit run, don't worry.

    @a_swan89 : Let see your /etc/fstab and your /etc/mtab

    @bitwise : external USB drive are a pain, normaly it should be mount at startup but the device name could change. We are in the process to have a better solution, but this not really ready yet. So for the moment be sure that the name of your usb device didn't change:
    Code:
    sudo fdsik -l
    and compare it to what you have in /etc/fstab.
    If it's the same, try to mount it with
    Code:
    sudo mount /dev/sdb1
    and past here the possible error.
    if they are not the same, wait a bit
    For the moment, you can also mount it with
    Code:
    sudo ntfs-3g /dev/<your device give by fdisk> /media/<your mount point> -o silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.utf8

    When i said 'don't worry', it was just to say, 'don't care of the error AND edit the file like said in step 3'
    If you have real problem opening gedit, use nano instead
    Code:
    sudo nano /etc/fstab
    That's less userfriendly but it will work for sure.
    You probably mess your .ICEauthaurity (i'll give you a tip if it's really that)

    For the pmount error,that's one of the thing i was wondering.
    But like said before, for icone on the desktop, that really matter. Lot's of people come with the same problem:
    Quote Originally Posted by givré

So all for the system, it's like that all your NTFS partition are /dev/fuse. If you do 'more /etc/mtab' in a terminal, you will see it. The consequence is that gnome can only show one (the first one) on the desktop and on place>cumputer.
    If you want to be able to access them quikly, you can make a bookmark in nautilus, or you could also mount you partition in your home.
    Ex:you can make a directory call windows in your home and change the mount point to /home/<your username>/windows in /etc/fstab.
    You don't need to mount them in /media, if i made the HowTo like that it's only because the partition mounted in /media are show on the desktop, and for newbie, it's quite important to see them, just like windows do it.
    Hope that will help.

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

    Yea, that's what I have been doing when ntfs-3g was set in fstab. that was even before you wrote this how-to. BTW, I compiled ntfs-3g myself because this how-to wasn't available yet.

    I hope I didn't misunderstand the point of the modded pmount. It was suppose to automount the external drive when it's connected? I really don't care much for the desktop drive icon. What I do want pmount to do is auto-mount. I currently have to manual mount the ext drive from terminal.

    As far as removing the other mount points just to mount this ext. drive is impossible. I can dismount the Vista drive, but I share Photoshop plug-ins and Thunderbird data with WinXP.

    Poka64 already said that the 3rd process worked for him. That's a good thing. Maybe it will work for others that don't have existing ntfs drives and partitions connected to IDE or SATA cables.

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

    Yeah good things, but the goal is like you said, automount.
    Automount of removable device is done by gnome-volume-manager which call pmount when he see an event, but without any other option than the name of the device. So if pmount don't work with this minmal option, g-v-m will mount it with the ntfs driver. I'm sure there is something i miss, i'll see that.

    Otherwise, it's already a good point that pmount work with a label. You can even make a launcher which will mount it without being su, but we can do best.

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

    i'm also stuck with the problem of: Couldn't mount device '/dev/hda1': Input/output error
    Mount failed.


    Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/hda1 * 1 6511 52299576 7 HPFS/NTFS
    /dev/hda2 6512 7240 5855692+ 83 Linux
    /dev/hda3 7241 7296 449820 82 Linux swap / Solaris
    root@cerebrum:/#


    it is mounting corretly with the default ntfs driver. i do a umount /dev/hda1, and try to mount it in the command line with :

    root@cerebrum:/# ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /media/hda1 -o silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.utf8
    Couldn't mount device '/dev/hda1': Input/output error
    Mount failed.
    root@cerebrum:/#

    i've try putting it in the fstab with the same result. Does someone know the reason for this error. It not creating any error log either. ( or i dont know wich one )

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

    This work well with ntfs driver since it don't have to test the input but only the output. ntfs-3g have to be sure that the partition is clean before mounting it (hoppfully).
    Try to boot on windows, check your disk with chkdsk, and if you it didn't see any error,defrag your disk and retry.
    That should work
