ntfs partitions auto-mount
« on: November 19, 2009, 11:22:16 PM »
I have a number of partitions formatted to ntfs, several of which I access daily. It is rather a chore to type the mount command... :P (And no, I won't convert them to ext2/3 because I also need them to be available from Windows.)

So I am wondering, why shouldn't fstab be generated to facilitate auto-mount like other partitions do when using rox? It is rather simple, just add -3g onto the ntfs entry and install ntfs-3g.tczl. From there on, click and go! Just about every other distro I have tried does this...?

By default, it uses the upstream kernel's 'ntfs'.
