Mounting NTFS partitions with full read-write support




By default,NTFS filesystems are
readable by users and writable by root only.But it may pose a difficulty to people doing dualboot with Windows.So here is a easy way out:
  • Copy fstab from /etc/ to your
    Desktop or any other folder.
  • Open it and edit as


Original


To do


fmask=133


fmask=113


dmask=022


dmask=002


In my case it was:
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5000AADS-00S9B0_WD-WCAV9C076470-part7 /windows/g ntfs-3g user,users,gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=002,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0

And remember to add user to the end.
