Suppose your external partition is e.g. /dev/sdc1, then make a folder to mount it in, e.g. /mnt/ntfs
If you want windows-like permissions like this: drwxrwxrwx, then insert into fstab like this:
Code:
/dev/sdc1/mnt/ntfs****ntfs-3g****defaults****0 0
If you want Linux-like permissions like this: drwxr-xr-x, then insert into fstab like this:
Code:
/dev/sdc1****/mnt/ntfs****ntfs-3g****uid=1002,gid=100,umask=0022****0 0

Thanks.
That will work with a USB mount? USB doesn't always mount in the same place though. I will try it.
I took the drive out of the USB box and plugged it into the internal IDE cable. It would not mount - had a message saying it needed a check and to boot into Windows twice. Since my house is a Microsoft Free Zone that was not an option. Did man mount and found you can mount it with -o force to work around that problem which worked and I was able to write to the drive with NTFS-3G. I added "force" to the options in the fstab line and that worked too. Here is my fstab line:
/dev/hdb5 /big1 ntfs-3g force,silent,users 0 0
Hope this helps somebody else.
