NTFS-3g problems

[v_override]

I've installed NTFS-3g a few days ago to get read/write support for my NTFS volume.

Everything went smoothly, there's just one problem......It won't mount automatically.

Everytime I want to access my NTFS volume, I have to mount it manually, using the "sudo mount -a" command.

Here's how the line looks like in my /etc/fstab file:

"UUID=287C21C57C218F1E /media/hdb1 ntfs-3g defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,uid=0,gid=46,auto,rw,n ouser,force 0 0"

It looks almost similar to my HDA1 line (and he gets mounted somehow)
"UUID=C4F5-2912 /media/hda1 vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,uid=0,gid=46,auto,rw,nouse r 0 1"

I've already included the "force" option but no change.
Another thing I've done and tried.......
Unmounted the HDB1 volume and used NTFSFIX on it.
It said that every command was processed succesfully.

I've tried to mount (HDB1) it with the option "nouser" and "allow_others", all failed.
I thought it would mount automatically since I'm using the same uid and gid as in HDA1 mount line (and not to forget the "force" option).

What else is there for me to try ?

Here is my fstab entry. Hope it helps!

/dev/hda2  /media/hda2  ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8  0  0

I do have to ask. Is that your full UUID code?

Re: NTFS-3g problems

Thank for the reply MoonRise, and I'll give a shot, but IMO, mounting a HDD by:
UUID code, device or label, shouldn't that be all like......the same thing ?

and I'm using a dutch version of Kubuntu, so I guess:
locale=nl_NL, right ?

PS: Yes, that's the full code.

Re: NTFS-3g problems

Yes, as far as the "locale=" is concerned. UUID is a little different, and I personally had problems using it. A lot of my systems I reverted back to using the /dev/hdaX format. With the NTFS-3g portions, I use only that instead of UUID. Maybe that is the problem? I don't know, but worth a shot.
