What is ntfsmount?
ntfsmount is a program that comes in the package sys-fs/ntfsprogs. It is an easy to set up, reliable, safe, and most of all functional way to gain full read/write access to NTFS partitions.
Installation
First make sure you have compiled FUSE in your kernel:
File systems ---> <*> Filesystem in Userspace support
and recompile your kernel if needed.
We must turn on the useflag "fuse". You can add the keyword "fuse" to your USE-flags in /etc/make.conf. Next we must make sure the package sys-fs/fuse is up to date:
emerge -av sys-fs/fuse
Now we emerge ntfsprogs.
emerge -av ntfsprogs
If you have compiled FUSE as a module in your kernel, you will want to add "fuse" to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-[kernel version] to ensure that the fuse kernel module is loaded upon boot.
echo "fuse" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
Usage
Now test to see if everything works
ntfsmount [device] [mountpoint]
Editing fstab
You can edit /etc/fstab to use ntfsmount by changing the partion type for your NTFS partions from "ntfs" to "ntfs-fuse"
