not exactly on topic, but maybe useful, ...
Have we got a pain free method of relabelling Windows file systems, yet?
In reply to the above (jack craig), I don't think it is a labelling issue,
but rather, something that needs to be configured, somewhere to
let fuse know what one wants mounted into /media.
In reply to Tim, I find that multi-booting into the M$ Oses
solves the labelling of the NTFS partitions, at least safely,
and also that using the M$ native chkdsk is probably safer
than relying on linux's ntfs 'check' implementation.
I also found that say, you have music files in your NTFS
partition, and you want to use a music-tagger program like
'Easytag' while in linux, it will not work well - and in fact may
totally screw things up, so in this case, I have to copy over
the music files from the NTFS partitions over to the extX
partitions, run EasyTag there, then when done, move it
back - works like a charm. It's a little pain, but it works.
So I am so grateful for linux's NTFS support - not bad
but there are things to watch out for when expecting linux
programs to work properly on NTFS partitions.
FWIW,
Dan
