Hi,

try with this

sudo modprobe ntfs

sudo gedit /etc/modules and add modprobe ntfs

Best Regards,

http://www.ntfs-3g.org/

This driver is a really stable and good driver for mounting ntfs drivers.

no way

still getting same error (see below) after trying modprobe ntfs and installing ntfs3g

<---

libhal-storage.c 1401 : info: called libhal_free_dbus_error but dbuserror was not set.

process 14849: applications must not close shared connections - see dbus_connection_close() docs. this is a bug in the application.

error: device /dev/hdb6 is not removable

error: could not execute pmount -->

any ideas

I wish I had a ntfs partition to test it on...

I'm not using ntfs-3g, just plain ntfs

Here are the results of lsmod (showing ntfs) , mount, and the extract from /etc/fstab for an NTFS volume.

tux@64studio:~$ lsmod | grep ntfs ntfs 198112 2

tux@64studio:~$ mount /dev/sda1

tux@64studio:~$ less /etc/fstab |grep 'sda1 ' /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs umask=0222,ro,user,noauto 0 0

Hey Cyrille can you do post the results of the following command:

dmesg | tail

Hey Cy,

Dang that dmesg blows, I thought it would have given the last errors about you trying to mount ntfs.

I have sucessfully mounted about 6 NTFS partitions on my computer using ntfs3g, I think it would be more helpful to you to send an email to their developer list. I am not sure exactly what the problem is your experiencing. I have tried to recreate the errors you have on a test NTFS partition using ntfs3g and I have not been able to do so.

Here is another forum posting about the same issue, the user who solved his problem mentioned something about permission issues.
