Re: Add NTFS-partition in Arch
In /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /windows ntfs ro,nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0Replace sda1 with your windows partition and /windows with your mount point.

This will use the in-kernel ntfs driver, which is not the best reliability you can have...
I strongly suggest using ntfs-3g

Re: Add NTFS-partition in Arch
If he wants to make it linux-writeable: yes. I don't see why read-only would make things unreliable though? You don't touch anything after all.

Re: Add NTFS-partition in Arch
Yeah, thanks
Maybe a lost small question, why does my xfce-desktop don't "refresh" ?
example, if i download a file in FF to the desktop, the file isn't there, if i want to see the file i must open thunar->desktop
thanks (y)

Do you have "fam" listed in DAEMONS in rc.conf? xfdesktop and thunar use fam to refresh folder views.
