Comment 13 for bug 205081

(Hola)

In gnome, the mount options problem can be worked around by using the gconf-editor (launch from terminal), and adding the needed mount options to the key: /system/storage/default_options/ntfs-3g/mount_options

This way, I can mount an NTFS partition using gnome's Drive Mount applet (although the owner is root): the policy controller ask you for password the first time and preserves the permission (no need to enter password again).

However, with that method I have found the filesystem is mounted with type fuseblk, not ntfs-3g ?

Also, this method only works if the filesystem is not in fstab.
