I'm a Ubuntu (Jaunty Jackalope on a Sheevaplug) user trying to mount an external hard drive formatted NTFS for read/write access. I was hoping to accomplish this through the use of ntfs-3g, but there's a problem when trying to install this driver. Any ideas how to get this hard drive mounted for read/write access and/or these drivers installed?

root@debian:~# apt-get install ntfs-3g

  • IIRC Ubuntu 9.04 still had no NTFS drivers to read/write, or at least it was on an experimental state. I suggest you upgrade your Ubuntu to 10.04 at least, or upgrade the kernel and the NTFS driver separately.

I agree with m0skit0 to upgrade your Ubuntu (BUT I doubt you can upgrade the Ubuntu for your Sheevaplug. You can read some details over here: http://www.newit.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2113.0)

Also, you might wish to take a look in the following link:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB

To mount device that is formatted with NTFS

sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/external

Last but not least, the following link might help too:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions

Hope it help.
