Installation
Linux: Most distributions include and use NTFS-3G by default. Please use that one unless it’s an old version. If you wish to install NTFS-3G from the source code then make sure you have installed the basic development tools (gcc compiler, libc-dev libraries). Then type:
./configure
make
make install # or 'sudo make install' if you aren't root
Non-Linux: Please see the OS specific installation and source packages above.
Usage
If there was no error during installation then the NTFS volume can be mounted in read-write mode for everybody as follows. Unmount the volume if it had already been mounted, replace /dev/sda1 and /mnt/windows, if needed.
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
Please see the NTFS-3G Manual for more options and examples.
You can also make NTFS to be mounted during boot by adding the following line to the end of the /etc/fstab file:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
