Unfortunately, mounting my usb-harddrive with ntfs-3g stopped working:

modprobe fuse gives no output, not with -v flag either. fuse is installed:
extra/fuse 2.8.7-1 [Installed]
A library that makes it possible to implement a filesystem in a userspace program.
It worked all the time before. Do I miss something obvious?
TIA

You haven't upgraded the kernel without rebooting yet by any chance?

That was it - thanks!
One more related question. When I mount my USB stick with Arch, I get
mount: warning: /media/usb/ seems to be mounted read-only.
fdisk -l shows this:

I had that problem before and tried to use ntfs-3g instead of mount, but that did not work eihter. After unmounting, a try with ntfs-3g gives:
[tj@arch ~]$ LC_ALL=C sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/usb/
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
[tj@arch ~]$ LC_ALL=C sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1p1 /media/usb/
ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sdb1p1': No such file or directory
One new problem after this try is, that on Win7 the USB stick is not recognized any more, Windows tells me I have to reformat the usb-stick.
How can I achieve these two things:
1. Mount the usb-stick read/write on Arch
2. Make it accessible on Win7 again
?
Thanks for any hints.

Try mounting it as follows:
# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb -o gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=002

the following 2 versions of your command did not work - unfortunately.
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=002 /dev/sdc1 /media/usb/
NTFS signature is missing.

Do usb sticks have NTFS? Is the filesystem broken and has to be reformated?

The command I provided is to mount your usb stick with read/write support (assuming that mounting it is working).
As for the issue at hand (the "NTFS signature is missing" error); perhaps try running a chkdsk on the drive from within windows.

ntfs-3g does not have proper write support with the stock arch package. If you install the aur package, you can read/write as a normal user. This is caused because the ntfs-3g package is compiled with external fuse support instead of internal in the official library. After installing the aur package setguid the binary as ntfs-3g will tell you.

The AUR package maintainer writes:
"I personally don't use this package anymore (I'm now using lxpolkit-git and the standard ntfs-3g to avoid using Set-UID), but it compiles and seems to run fine.
If someone who uses this package normally wants to maintain it, just let me know and I'll disown it"
so maybe I should rather go that way?
But - do USB sticks have ntfs filesystems? Or did I mess up the stick when trying to mount it with ntfs-3g, since WIN7 tells me I have to reformat the stick.

USB drives can be formatted as NTFS but since you say Win7 doesn't like it, I would reformat it.
