    Thx givre,
    youve done really great work here.

    But by the way, it would be really great if you create another script to switch from ntfs-3g back to standard ntfs on usb devices.

    May be i am a little too scared, but ntfs-3g is still beta, and i like my data very mouch, so i just want to enable write access when i really need it.

    That's what the script "unmount_ntfs-3g" is for. Assuming you enabled the script, just right-click the usb device and click the "unmount_ntfs-3g" script from the script menu. That drive with ntfs-3g driver will unmount. Double clck on the drive in Nautilus and it mounts using the normal ntfs driver (without write).

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

    I get this error message when I do sudo mount -a:

    Error opening partition device: Device or resource busy
    Failed to startup volume: Device or resource busy
    Couldn't mount device '/dev/hdc1': Device or resource busy
    Mount failed.
    Error opening partition device: Device or resource busy
    Failed to startup volume: Device or resource busy
    Couldn't mount device '/dev/hdc5': Device or resource busy
    Mount failed.
    Any ideas anyone?

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

    i've used NTFS-3g to mount my NTFS partiion before. but i recently had to formatt my HardDisk and reinstall both ubuntu and windows.

    so now, when i try to mount my NTFS partiotn, it dosent work.

    i get this when after doing the whole thing and typing sudo mount -a

    Code:
    Volume is dirty.
    Run chkdsk and try again, or use the force option.
    Mount failed.
    this is what my /etc/fstab file looks like -
    Code:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
    proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
    /dev/hdb2       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
    /dev/hdb5       none            swap    sw              0       0
    /dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
    /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
    the folder i created in /media is called hdb1

    so anyone know how to fix this ?

    GregaS, you may have mounted using the ntfs driver in fstab. That error message may indicate that it's alreay mounted before login. Post your fstab or mtab and post sudo fdisk -l.

    visvak, go back to windows and scandisk/fisk all your ftfs partitions and reboot back to windows. restart properly and boot into Ubuntu and try to mount the ntfs partition. Also post your sudo fdisk -l after wards if still having trouble.

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

    GregaS,

    How are you mounting/unmounting the partitions? There is a known issue with mounting more than one partitions using the ntfs-3g driver. If you mount one, you have to manually mount them all. Likewise if you unmount one, you have to manually unmount them all. It's the ntfs-3g limitation.

    In my case, i have 2 ntfs partitions both using ntfs-3g drivers and perams set in fstab. In order to unmount those partitions, I have to sudu unmount both of them because fstabs is own by root. Likewise, if I need to mount one of the partitions, I have to again use sudo mount all the partitions if it is using ntfs-3g drivers.

    I believe givre noted that his mount script maybe be limited to external USB drives only.

    Hope that helps.

    If I do sudo mount /dev/hdc1 /media/diskc I get this error message:

    mount: /dev/hdc1 is not a block device, and stat fails?
