Mounting NTFS via Gnome Files (nautilus)/Cinnamon Nemo

RedMagus_Clawmus

Good afternoon,

I have a couple of external USB disks that are NTFS formatted for compatibility between Windows/Linux. I am able to successfully mount them using sudo mount -t ntfs ... but unable to do do via nautilus or nemo. I get the following error: "Filesystem type ntfs3/ntfs is not configured in the kernel" which is not correct. I assume there is some subsystem that is not correctly elevating permissions, if that is needed, or configuration error that I am unsure of where to look. I on the other hand can mount an ext4 formatted disk just fine in nautilus/nemo. Any thoughts or assistance would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

RedMagus_Clawmus Hi, have you tried using the ntfs3g FUSE-based driver? It's had generally positive results for me personally as I've faced this issue before too
