    There is some stuff about removable device in the HowTo, you should read them.
    If you use dapper : add the main-all channel
    If you use edgy : read the "- Removable device :" section.

    Latest ntfs-3g in Edgy?

    givré, this is mostly a question to you.

    So, what could one do to use the latest ntfs-3g in Edgy? There was recently a new version released that fixed a major bug, I'd like to switch to it, but I'd like to do it with minimal hassle.

    How important is the dependency on fuse 2.6? Is it really required or just recommended? From one of your posts here one gets to understand using pmount could be a workaround if one doesn't use the latest fuse.

    What are other requirements for building ntfs-3g on Edgy? Any library dependencies that are incompatible with packages in Edgy?

    Could you provide, say, a backport for Edgy users? E.g. a separate stream in one of your repos that would contain an "unstable" version of latest ntfs-3g, ready to be installed in Edgy? That would be most convenient.

    Thanks.

    We are currently discussing what is the best to do.

    You absolutely need library+kernel module >= 2.6 with the latest release, but some fix don't rely on it, and can be use with 2.6+old kernel module, so we are currently discussing two way of doing the upgrade :
    - making a separate release with only fix that don't need kernel module >= 2.6
    - find an easy way to update the kernel module.
    But in any way, i don't want to maintain a repo providing fuse module for every ubuntu kernel.

    My pmount change prevent a bug that could occur when ejecting removable device. But the full fix need the newest kernel module, but even if there is a workaround for it, you still need newest kernel module to compile latest ntfs-3g. That's all the problem.

    nothing more than a working fuse.

    I'd like to propose a full solution. Hopefully, it will come soon.

    Thanks.

    How do I restore that backupfile you had us create in your post because when I replaced the line text and filled the info in for my HDD it wont mount after a reboot.

    Code:
    sudo cp /etc/fstab.bak /etc/fstab
    should work.
    But the fact that they didn't mount after reboot don't mean that it don't work.
    You can know what's happening by running in the terminal :
    Code:
    sudo mount -a

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

    trying to execute that first command told me it was the same file

    Code:
    monoxide@Ubuntu:~$ sudo cp /etc/fstab.bak /etc/fstab.bak
    cp: `/etc/fstab.bak' and `/etc/fstab.bak' are the same file
    Code:
     sudo mount -a
    Code:
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/disk/by-uuid/52C0581FC0580C1B,
           missing codepage or other error
           In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
           dmesg | tail  or so

    This is a attached hdd and is not removable.

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

    Hi, Just to warn you I'm as fresh as you can be to linux.

    I did exactly at the HOWTO said (apart from getting the ntfs-3g from ubuntu repository), but after I restarted I can't see any of my two ntfs-drives.
    Then I tried
    pmount-hal /dev/hdc1
    but got following message:
    Error: device /dev/hdc1 is not removable
    Error: could not execute pmount
    But my device are not removable....

    What do I do now? I would like to get this to work without having to install ubuntu again.

    Please help, as told before - I'm super-green at this. *S*

    ll, i made a copy/past error. Just changed
    Code:
     sudo mount -a
    Code:
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/disk/by-uuid/52C0581FC0580C1B,
           missing codepage or other error
           In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
           dmesg | tail  or so
    Ok, that mean that there is something wrong with your fstab,
    if you show me it, i could tell you why.

    Please don't do that.
    Just do a :
    Code:
    sudo mount -a
    in a terminal, and that should show why the partition didn't get mount.

    Then my terminal shows me nothing after I write my pass...
