So if I want to mount all of my ntfs drives when I boot ubuntu , I just add lines for all of them in the fstab ?
For example if I want to mount drive Backup ( which is sda7 i think ) the required line will be :
Btw, do I need to create a mount point for device sda7 too ?/dev/sda7 /media/Backup ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
And do I need to force mount when mounting first time ?
Sorry for the confusion -> There are no drive named Nash( don't ask me why I said there was)

Each partition requires a unique mount point. So yes, you do need to create 'Nash'. No, you don't need to force mount partitions. Force mount can only be applied on partitions that did not have a 'clean shutdown' status.Originally Posted by Louis de Broglie

Steady movement is more important than speed, much of the time. So long as there is a regular progression of Stimuli to get your mental hooks into, there is room for lateral movement. Once this begins, its rate is a matter of discretion.

All of my NTFS partitions got that status.

You could force mount it with the given commands above (The one you successfully used). That would solve the problem. Just follow the steps we did on your first posts.All of my NTFS partitions got that status.

OK. It works. But now none of the mounted drives unmounts from gui.
So i will have to use terminal from now on to mount or, unmount ?

No, the drives will automatically mount on Ubuntu startup. That only happens if you add the partition on the fstab file.

A small additional remark: you should never "permanently" use force mount. You should use force mount only temporarily, in an emergency, for example to retrieve the data before reformatting the drive. There is a reason why Ubuntu won't automount "unclean" volumes: it is because you risk corrupting the file system further. You risk major data loss.No, you don't need to force mount partitions. Force mount can only be applied on partitions that did not have a 'clean shutdown' status.
For this reason, you'd better not maintain ntfs volumes if you do not have MS Windows. Linux cannot fully check and repair them. Therefore, use ntfs only if you also have ready access to MS Windows. Otherwise, reformat them in ext3 or another Linux file system.
(That said, I *have* an ntfs volume. However, it is a Lacie Multimedia disk and the data are stored elsewhere (in duplicate). If anything goes wrong, I will just reformat the drive in ntfs to "repair" the file system and copy the data back).
