NTFS-3G

From FrugalWiki

Jump to: navigation, search


NTFS-3G is an open source implementation of Microsoft's NTFS file system that includes read and write support. Because it is considered to be easier to configure and developed write support earlier, users generally prefer NTFS-3G over ntfsprogs ntfsmount. NTFS-3G developers use the FUSE file system to facilitate development and to help with portability. This document will describe how to setup NTFS-3G to work on your computer.


Allow wrting and reading on the NTFS windows partition

Fisrt install ntfs-3g

Root terminal 48px.png
# pacman-g2 -S ntfs-3g


Now create your mounting point (windows for example) :

Root terminal 48px.png
# mkdir /mnt/windows


Then add an entry to /etc/fstab

Root terminal 48px.png
# nano /etc/fstab


and add this (replace sda1 by the correct name of your partition)

 /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

Then relaunch all mounting points

Root terminal 48px.png
# mount -a


or just reboot.
