Access NTFS partition via PCManFM

I get an error:









Nautilus still works OK though.

Last night I tried accessing my xp partition in pcmanfm as root and it works! very strange.

I also got similar error but it opens the folders and files all in read only mode.I have already changed ownership of NTFS partition to me and users. But pcmanfm sees the partition in root ownership only. I already installed ntfs-3g 1.5130-1.is it a bug or the way of pcmanfm?

Hi, I've got a problem with an external usb HD ntfs, I can read the files in read only mode as kgas. i've installed ntfs-3g but nothig.
I can only read does anybody know something about it ?

I solved it by this line
$ echo ntfs-3g | sudo tee -a /etc/modules or this one
# echo ntfs-3g >> /etc/modules.
Becarefully #
>NO
>>YES

Hello trovador, which GNU/Linux are you using. In Arch linux I did not have any file named modules in /etc directory. creating the modules file with ntfs-3g entry also did not solve the issue in my case.

Edit: I found a work around. unmounting and then remounting the ntfs partition with rw option solved the problem in my case. This had also been discussed in Arch forum.
#sudo umount /dev/sdbX
#sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/<mount-point> -o rw,users,auto

This can also be solved by setting the hal policy. In this thread you can check : http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11
