I can't get any of 3 ext ntfs hard drives to mount and yes they were
cleanly removed from windows. I have downloaded about every possible
ubuntu utility. So I can never back up and this is driving me crazy!!!
All 3 drives work fine in windows.

Since this was handled in ntfs-3g, I mark the gnome-mount task as
invalid.

According to http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libntfs-3g48 the current
version of NTFS-3G shipping with Jaunty is 2009.1.1-0ubuntu1.
Is it too late for the latest version (2009.2.1) to appear in Jaunty, or
can we expect this to happen?

Applying the patch is quite easy.
1. create a folder for the source files, e.g. ~/development and cd into it
2. run sudo apt-get source gnome-mount
3. copy gnome-mount.c.patch into gnome-mount/src and cd into the folder
4. run patch -b gnome-mount.c gnome-mount.c.patch
5. go to the root folder of
Nicks suggestion is exactly the solution which would be perfect, but I
think will be very difficult to handle. Two systems which should be
independent need to cooperate. gnome-mount just executes the mount
command for any possible file system. It should not have to treat some
fs different i.e.
That sounds too complicated to me. IMHO it's just a bug of mount/ntfs-
3g, because it treats the unclean shutdown as an error while windows
(that's the OS which is using NTFS, so they probably know best) ignores
it completely.
If it would only be a warning, shell user will see it (and probably

I agree with the need to be more user-friendly with this situation - if
it arises could the user be prompted (if they want to be, or execute the
user-specified default action) to select from:
1. Don't mount the disk
2. Mount the disk as read-only
3. Run ntfsfix and mount the disk as read/write
4.
It sounds great to me, simple. If somebody wants to do it the right
way they are more than welcome to do so, but something needs to be done
about this ASAP in a world where Linux must play nicely with Windows or
be deemed broken. This is not a small bug.

Imagine an ubuntu installation where not every user has sudo rights.
This should be the case every time ubuntu is used in companies with

In bug #275951 (which is a duplicate of this one), I proposed a draft of

Bugs,
I think this should be a much higher priority as well. It seems small
but it makes Ubuntu seem broken to the new user, and if things like this
aren't fixed, Ubuntu will not become usable for the regular person.
Bugs like this are extremely frustrating when migrating from Windows.
The first thing
I also highly agree. I have asked friends to specifically 'Remove
Safetly' from Windows so I avoid this annoyance at a later point. I
realise it is just one command to force mount the partition, and am
capable of doing this however some people will not be or will not put up
with having to do so.
Still not fixed in intrepid. I think this should be higher priority than
wishlist, I only have ubuntu, an ntfs formatted usb disk and no windows
anymore, so choice 1 is no option. Choice 2 is even for experienced
ubuntu users not easy and definitely not user-friendly.
