NTFS-3G

Currently it is recommended you install NTFS via the CSI installer. So install CSI first, then simply select the ntfs-3g package

I compiled FUSE and NTFS-3G for NMT platform and wrapped it in a shell script that waits for Eject button to be pushed on the remote control. It will then swap between NTFS (read-only) and NTFS-3G (read/write), and back again if you push Eject again.

To manually try it, follow these steps:

cd /tmp   (or /share/Apps for HDDs)
wget http://lundman.net/ftp/nmt/nmt_ntfs3g.tar.gz
tar -zxvf nmt_ntfs3g.tar.gz
cd nmt_ntfs3g
./ntfs_helper &

The mount type should be indicated on the name. Currently it only changes USB_DRIVE_ names to NTFS, if you are using other attached storage in NTFS, please let me know of the names to modify.

User ike260 on NMT forums confirm that this binary also works on AZBOX HD cable STB.

-When I get time this needs to be cleaned up, all required files should be places in one tarball, and using the NMT installer script to install. A little helper program that listens for remote-control command Eject to umount would be nice as well.

-Also, real life examples instead of my guessed text output is needed.
+To manually try it, follow these steps:
-) Enable telnetd http://lundman.net/wiki/index.php/NMT:telnetd
+  cd /tmp   (or /share/Apps for HDDs)
-) Get ldvd package and untar http://www.lundman.net/ftp/nmt/ldvd-1.2.tar.gz
+  wget http://lundman.net/ftp/nmt/nmt_ntfs3g.tar.gz
-) Get ntfs-3g binary: http://www.lundman.net/ftp/nmt/ntfs-3g-1.2506-nmt
+  tar -zxvf nmt_ntfs3g.tar.gz
-) Run "mount" or "df" to see current mount point, for example:
+  cd nmt_ntfs3g
-  /dev/hda3 on /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_A type ntfs (ro)
+  ./ntfs_helper &
-) Make sure your PATH has "fusermount" on it.
- # export PATH=$PATH:/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Apps/ldvd
- # fusermount
- fusermount: missing mountpoint argument
- (good, it finds it)
-) Unmount the old ntfs:
- # umount /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_A
-) Mount it read/write:
- # ntfs-3g /dev/hda3 /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_A
-But this is important when you use it read/write. You must unmount it cleanly when you are finished.
+The mount type should be indicated on the name. Currently it only changes USB_DRIVE_ names to NTFS, if you are using other attached storage in NTFS, please let me know of the names to modify.
