Mount NTFS partitions without specifying '-t ntfs-3g'?

[Rich]

I just took a look at my fstab file, the NTFS partitions are listed as follows.

/dev/hda1       /mnt/hda1       ntfs     noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=000 0 0 # Added by TC
/dev/hda2       /mnt/hda2       ntfs     noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=000 0 0 # Added by TC
/dev/hda3       /mnt/hda3       ntfs     noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=000 0 0 # Added by TC

Even though the ro option is listed the partitions get mounted as rw according to mtab.

/dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 fuseblk rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0

If you are just trying to mount rw that should do it for you, if you are also trying to mount ro
then you will have to try something else.

Awesome I'll try out the new (to me) 3.x series and check this out. I'm getting a new (well refurbished) laptop soon so this will be a perfect test of the new release.

Thanks for sharing!
