As I understand fstab syntax, the word "defaults" inside option column makes sense only if it stands alone.

As I had stated, the same effect is seen regardless of the presence of "defaults". However, as I understand it, subsequent options override previous, so stating defaults first to set many options, then explicitly overriding some of them is OK, although it may be unnecessary.

But the point for not being able to mount I think is that ntfs-3g binary is not suid.... Gianluca

Thanks, I found the problem and the solution, based on your hint:
chmod o+rw /dev/sda2
chmod 4755 /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g

I was a bit surprised that I had to do the second step, though... shouldn't /bin/mount (which has setuid bit) call /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g with elevated privileges? Anybody know if that's a bug?
