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.

So, what could one do to use the latest ntfs-3g in Edgy?
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 :
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:
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
Quote:
pmount-hal /dev/hdc1
but got following message:
Quote:
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*

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 :
in a terminal, and that should show why the partition didn't get mount.
