PIcore 6 & ntfs-3g

[jonesy]

I need RW access to a 1TB USB harddrive.  I can't find ntfs-3g in picore 6, but it's in the picore 5 repo. 
Is there a compatibility reason why ntfs-3g didn't make it to picore 6?
Thanks

I will add latest ntfs-3g to 6.x repo

Nice one.  Thank you Béla.

ntfs-3g.tcz added to repo

Thank you Béla.
Can you spot what I'm doing wrong?  I installed ntfs-3g.tcz, but I keep getting either Permission denied or Read-only file system when I try to copy a file in.

tc@box:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1
tc@box:~$ cd /mnt/sdb1
tc@box:/mnt/sdb1$ ls
System Volume Information/ a.txt
tc@box:/mnt/sdb1$ sudo cp a.txt b.txt
cp: can't create 'b.txt': Read-only file system
[  157.767442] ntfs: driver 2.1.31 [Flags: R/W MODULE].
[  158.375141] ntfs: volume version 3.1.

I've also tried
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o rw /dev/sdb1 & mount -t ntfs -o rw /dev/sdb1
and I get the same output on DMESG.
filesystem 3.18.10 on 6.1b1
Any thoughts?
Thank you

Update ntfs-3g.tcz Shared lib was missing, now it is fixed.

Mount with this command:

Code: [Select]

sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1

I've tried an update, then I removed it altogether and installed it again and I'm still getting the same error.

What is the output of

Code: [Select]

ntfs-3g --version
command?

[jonesy]

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ ntfs-3g --version
ntfs-3g 2015.3.14 integrated FUSE 27

No idea, it works here as expected:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 4039 MB, 4039114752 bytes

tc@box:~$ ls /mnt/sda1
tc@box:~$ mkdir /mnt/sda1/MyNewDir
tc@box:~$ ls /mnt/sda1

tc@box:~$ rmdir /mnt/sda1/MyNewDir
tc@box:~$ ls /mnt/sda1
tc@box:~$ ntfs-3g --version

Well, it looks like I have a quirky USB stick.  Just to be sure, I took a clean version of TC (6.1b1) and tried another USB drive. fstab shows
/dev/sda1       /mnt/sda1       ntfs-3g  noauto,users,exec    0 0 # Added by TC
and this mounts RW without any additional parameters and works fine.
When I umount this drive and plug in the original 'problem' one, it mounts and works RW as expected. However, if I re-boot and plug in problem drive, fstab shows
/dev/sdb1       /mnt/sdb1       ntfs     noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=000 0 0 # Added by TC
dmesg shows this
[  553.361927] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled
and I can't RW.
So ntfs-3g is working fine, and I seem to have a quirky thumb drive.
Thanks for your time Béla.
