when i try to automount my parttion using fstab i had this error msg :


Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE
library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated
FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at
http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged

and when i leave this partition from fstab i can mount it but with a password
and i wish mount automatically lile before without typing the password every time

I'm sure theres an option under System>Administration>Users and Groups (Click unlock to make changes button if needed)>Click your username>Properties>User Privileges.

That's an NTFS partition, right? What's the line in fstab used to mount it?

Hi, I have the same problem. I created an Ubuntu Live-USB and installed Ubuntu on my laptop, but after the installation when I plug in that Flash drive, it gives me that exact mounting error. It tries to mount it as


/dev/sdc1

The corresponding line in /etc/fstab/ is



/dev/sdc1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

when I erase that line from /etc/fstab, it mounts the flash drive all right, except it doesn't show the drive on the desktop, as it does on my other computer. How can I fix that?

Thanks.

I am using lucid and i am new to linux
One of my drive was also not mounting
So i Checked which device is it,it was /dev/sd7 ,Then

Opened /etc/fstab and deleted a line like
"/dev/sd7 none'

and then opened /etc/mtab then copied the line of /dev/sd5
pasted above it and changed sd5 to sd7

and guess what now my drive is listed :D
