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

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.

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?

@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:
and compare it to what you have in /etc/fstab.Code:sudo fdsik -l
If it's the same, try to mount it with
and past here the possible error.Code:sudo mount /dev/sdb1
if they are not the same, wait a bit
For the moment, you can also mount it with
[/QUOTE]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
That's less userfriendly but it will work for sure.Code:sudo nano /etc/fstab
You probably mess your .ICEauthaurity (i'll give you a tip if it's really that)

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.
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.

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

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 )
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
