Installing ntfs-3g On Etch

If you would like to read & write to your ntfs partition (windows’s partition), installing ntfs-3g on your machine is a better solution. This is the method I used to install ntfs-3g on my debian etch :

1. Remove old libfuse (if any) :

sudo apt-get remove libfuse2 fuse-utils

2. Get required package:

wget http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/04/10/debian/pool/main/n/ntfs-3g/ntfs-3g_1.328-2_i386.deb
wget http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/04/10/debian/pool/main/n/ntfs-3g/libntfs-3g0_1.328-2_i386.deb
wget http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/04/10/debian/pool/main/f/fuse/libfuse2_2.6.3-2_i386.deb
wget http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/04/10/debian/pool/main/f/fuse/fuse-utils_2.6.3-2_i386.deb

3. Install it!

dpkg -i libfuse2_2.6.3-2_i386.deb fuse-utils_2.6.3-2_i386.deb libntfs-3g0_1.328-2_i386.deb
dpkg -i ntfs-3g_1.328-2_i386.deb

Let me know if it doesn’t work for you. Now, you can mount your ntfs partition. This is an example how I do it:

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb -t ntfs-3g

    I can now write to the drive but you still get the message saying to upgrade the kernel.

    Receive the upgrade kernel message aswell, and receive a lot of
    “Aug 16 16:54:12 liamer-clone kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdb, sector 99783437″ messages in the /var/log/message log file.
