Thanks for the clarification, and my apologies to shinobar. The reference on Barry's blog seemed to me to refer to the older ntfs-3g driver I already had installedplaydayz wrote:Thanks once again shinobar.
otropogo, shinobar meant that the problem I was seeing with newer versions of ntfs-3g required the /bin/mount fix he described. And sure enough, I have compiled the full version of the latest ntfs-3g 2012.1.15 (on Lupu Plus Libre) and it is working for me without the error message.

Since your problem is intermittent and only applies to usb ntfs?????
Correct.
Incorrect. The USB3.0 adapter is from pci-express bus to USB3.0Do i gather that you have an adapter from e-sata to usb 3.0
Never a problem in Centos once the 2011 ntfs-3g drive package is installed, nor has it been a problem in Slacko, except for hot-plugging. So I don't think it was a hardware issue.--that sounds like potential problem--but the intermittent aspect is a mystery. Lupu Plus/Libre has the latest that rerwin has prepared for usb stuff.
So far lpl-2's native usb driver seems to work fine with my USB3.0 adapter. will certainly report any problems that arise. I only have the use of that laptop intermittently, so my testing has been limited. But so far, no issues.
my latest ntfs-3g on USB tests (only on my desktop machine, and only on USB2.0 - will test USB3.0 later)You might want to reboot after installing it, just in case.
1. attached Goflex 3TB USB3.0 drive to USB2.0 port - icon appears on desktop
2. mounted the ntfs partition with Pmount - ntfs read-only error popup. Writing, renaming, deleting of files is disabled. Repeated three times with same result each time
3. backed up my 2fs file
4. uninstalled the ntfs-3g_2010.3.6 pet with packet manager
5. installed your new ntfs-3g pet
6. mounted the ntfs partition - no error message. Repeated three times with same result. Successfully copied, renamed, and deleted files on the ntfs partition without error messages or apparent issues. (no reboot required)
Will test on USB3.0 on the laptop later today. So far, the new driver seems to have solved my ntfs-on-usb problem. Thank you!
