automounting with ntfs-3g


Hi guys???
I have some few partitions with ntfs volumes and I run slackware 11 To gain rw access to them i installed fuse and ntfs-3g.
To avoid manually mounting them manually everytime, i tried adding the following to the fstab,

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 1 0

but it didnt work
then I tried to add the following to rc.local file:

modpode fuse

ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

which did not work either.

any ideas how I could auto mount drives using ntfs-3g

Does "defaults" include "auto"? Test it with
Code:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults,auto 1 0
that should automount it if it's possible this way. Of course the module needs to be loaded first for ntfs-3g, but hopefully it's done already.

Another way, though dirty (and I don't necessarily recommend it), is to add a mount command to /etc/rc.local or equivalent, which is run after the other init scripts.

its problem with fuse

thanks!!! First I thought it was a problem with ntfs-3g but its a problem with fuse loading the required modules into the kernel, so i have to do it manually with:
modprobe fuse
any tips how I can, have it load the modules at boot time?
