[Bug 907448] Re: ntfs partion on usb drive not mountable for rw

[Daniel Manrique]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command, as it will
automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

apport-collect 907448

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-
bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this
functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

Also, if you could perform the mount operations you show in your report,
and then attach /var/log/syslog, that may reveal some useful debugging
information from the kernel.

Thanks!

Title:
  ntfs partion on usb drive not mountable for rw

Status in “ntfs-3g” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  A ntfs partition on and usb drive with rw folder/drive permissions can not be mounted rw. Note that the problem occurs on Ubuntu 11.10 on my dual core amd64x2, but not on my old laptop with Lubuntu 11.10 on single core PIII. Both system were updated on 20-Dec-2011.
  I have a bypass, I use Windows or Lubuntu, but I would like to get the recently introduced bug in Ubuntu solved.
  See the middle part of the next command line excerpt:
