Hi Chris,
I applaud your desire to add as much information as possible, it's makes it much easier to help. I wasn't sure about your skill or knowledge level, so I felt that pointing out that solutions that aren't MythTV specific are most likely still going to be applicable.
Regards,
Andreas
Hi Andreas, So, what I've done for now is to use Arios Mount found here [1]. It just installs a few tiny scripts from a .deb package. And I needed to install ntfs-3g from the repositories. Ronnie, I saw your post afterwards... I'm still not convinced this is best solution since the arios-mount tool does not provide any control over the group permissions. So I may go back to editing fstab or seeing if I can tweak the arios-mount tool. Since I've rarely worked with ntfs file systems on anything but hot plugged external drives, it has suprised me the extra work involved making it part of the permanet file system. Obviously trivial once you know how but not quite like an ext3 on an IDE drive. Thanks again for the replies. [1] http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/how-to-mount-partitions-automatically.html
