no way around that yet. It only links the first drive under ntsf-3g in fstab. You can always create a bookmark in nautilus for the others you don't see on the desktop.

using "mount" command will not give you full access and will most probably conflict with fuse command. man ntsf-3g for proper commands.
>Mount /dev/hda1 to /mnt/windows using ntfs-3g:
Root access only:
Code:
sudo ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows
Full access for all users:
Code:
sudo ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -o silent,umask=0,locale=utf8
> Umount /mnt/windows:
Code:
sudo fusermount -u /mnt/windows
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
Normaly, there is no restriction to use mount instead of ntfs-3g or fusermount, since mount is the only command use at boot time to mount partition. mount will just call the ntfs-3g driver, which will call fusermount to mount the partition.
But yeah, if it doesn't work you can always try that.
EDIT: this is avaible, IF ONLY the drive you want to mount is in /etc/fstab and have ntfs-3g for driver.

Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
I have only one NTFS partition so i couln't try it, but like said before, you will have access to only the first NTFS partition in fstab from place>cumputer or from the desktop.
But your partition will be mounted in /media/windowsI and you can view it with nautilus. You can even make a bookmark to this directory.

I dont have write rights.

I want to have only on sda1 ntfs-3g.
Drive is mounted good, whithout any errors.
What should I do?
Re: HOWTO: NTFS with read/write support using ntfs-3g (easy method)
Have a look at 'man ntfs-3g'.
Currently the owner and the group is set to root, but umask=0 make the dirve R/W for everybody.
You could try to add the option uid=1000,gid=1001, but i guess your problem is something else. What are the permissions and the owner of the file in this drive?

Are you sure that the umount -a work for /media/sda1?
Close all apps looking at /media/sda1 and retry.
Try to reboot if it doesn't work.
EDIT: also instead of umout -a, you should try umount /dev/sda1, and remount it
