NTFS Read/Write HOW-TO Guide
 

I have Fedora Core 5 $2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp i686$
updated and 2 NTFS partions....and now i can read/write them

1)Download & install these

to install it

Code:

---

su
./configure
make
make install      # or 'sudo make install' if you aren't root

---

http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/...70822-BETA.tgz
to install it

Code:

---

su
./configure
make
make install      # or 'sudo make install' if you aren't root

---

2)Unmount them if they were already mounted by another NTFS driver

Code:

---

umount /dev/hda1

---

3)To mount NTFS /dev/hda1 in /mnt/hda1

Code:

---

su
mkdir /mnt/hda1
ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1

---

If you want to give full access for all users, ignore all permission related driver messages, and make national characters visible then use (drop or replace the below hu_HU.utf8 with the appropriate setting, and also the device and mount points, if needed).

Code:

---

ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 -o silent,umask=0,no_def_opts,allow_other,locale=hu_HU.utf8

---

You can also make NTFS to be mounted during boot by ensuring that the FUSE kernel module is automatically loaded and by putting the below line into /etc/fstab

Hi aoryx
It's nice to give this info, but there exists newer versions:
fuse 2.6.1
ntfs-3g-0.20061218-BETA
they gives more secured read/write abilities and fix bugs in the ntfs-3g beta release.

The ntfs-3g driver was tested only for 32 bits architecture machines.

Nice effort and don't take it wrong but there are easier ways to accomplish read/write of NTFS and with no compiling. I pulled everything from Fedora repos and created the directory "mkdir /mnt/ntfs"

I also ran "# fdisk -l" to see where/how my NTFS was listed eg: "/dev/sdb2 * 785 24321 189060952+ 7 HPFS/NTFS" then I edited etc/fstab and added "/dev/sdb2 /mnt/media ntfs-3g defaults 0 0". Now I can access internal and external NTFS drives,no problemo.

I have always ran "./configure" and "make" as "$ user" and then as root "# make install" .
