    Unfortunately I hit the same snag.
    I'm running Breezy too.

    Ok, the fstab entry is where it's all going awry. When I use the ntfs mount command with my uid or the NTFS gid it'll mount. I just can't get it to mount read/write.

    missing libntfs.so.9 errors
    Okay, there's a solution for that, and I will update the HowTo so people don't run into it again.

    First, the Cause: the ntfsprogs-fuse package people were downloading require a ntfs library higher ( v.9 ) than the one avaiable for breezy ( v.5 ) or dapper ( v.8 ).

    Now, the Solution: Get the Dapper packages:
    libntfs8
    ntfsprogs

    Before installing those, you'll want to remove the non-working one:
    Code:
    dpkg --remove ntfsprogs-fuse
    Then, install the two Dapper packages:
    Code:
    dpkg -i libntfs8_1.12.1-1_i386.deb ntfsprogs_1.12.1-1_i386.deb

    fstab issues
    Please, post your fstab contents, an output of "ls -l /media" (or where the mountpoint is, so we can see the current permissions), and the output of running the command "groups" as your regular user so we can try do identify the issues better.

    I'm stuck booting into windows for a class, but when I get back on ubuntu I'll try to post all that. Another big thanks for this howto, even if I have to sudo into it, I've been messing with tons of files on my windows partition and it's still running fine.

    Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support

    First of all, you are not using the ntfs group for controlling the access (which is ok, I'm just checking if you understand that).

    When I use the ntfs mount command with my uid or the NTFS gid it'll mount. I just can't get it to mount read/write.
    The permissions clearly show it was mounted with r/w access for owner and group.
    It shows it was mounted with UID:stephen and GID:root (and that differs from what is set on your fstab).

    If you try writing a file when logged as user stephen, does it deny access? What kind of error is produced, if any?
    ( for example, run: dmesg > /media/hda1/my_dmesg_log.txt )

    Just as comparison, here is how my ntfs part. is set:
    Code:
    drwxrwx--- 1 root ntfs 12288 2006-03-13 13:07 hda1
    Now, my user is a member of ntfs group, and this gives him full access to the partition.

    I wasn't quite able to get my Windows (C drive to mount. I'll post my fstab and the error later.

    Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support

    I can mount fine as root using ntfsmount but when I try to mount from fstab I get 'mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-fuse''.

    any ideas?

    Did you include the fuse module on the modules file?
    Try running "modprobe fuse" and then "mount -a".

    I can't think of anything else...

    Re: HOWTO: Mount NTFS volumes with write support

    sudo mount -a

    mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-fuse'

    I'm getting this too. I followed the directions correctly, fstab seems to be correct, modprobe didn't help. Ntfsmount as root is succesful
    I also tried installing the deb's even though I'm using dapper.

    edit: Also my ntfsprogs is version 1.12.1 and according to this page everything should be ok in fstab
