  reading this post I thought that you could help me.

  I have downloaded, compiled and installed NTFS-3G. It works fine using the command line and tha root user.

  But if I try to plug an USB pen in my aspire one, the automount gives me the following error:

  Failed to create ‘/dev/fuse’: Permission denied
  Error opening ‘/dev/sda1′: Permission denied
  Failed to mount ‘/dev/sda1′: Permission denied
  Please check ‘/dev/sda1′ and the ntfs-3g binary permissions,
  and the mounting user ID. More explanation is provided at
  http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged

  I don’t know if this error could be solved with the changes that you have done to the gnome-mount.

  thanks in advance, Emi

  Try setting permissions for ntfs-3g to 754:

  sudo chmod 754 /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g

  Now it should work, I hope. My changes to gnome-mount are for another issue. Gnome-mount tries to mount a ntfs volume with ntfs-3g. But somehow ntfs-3g is missing some setting or parameter (volume.fstype.alternative). I think one could get around this problem doing this:

  cd /sbin
  sudo ln -s mount.ntfs-3g mount.ntfs
  gconf-editor

  Go to system->storage->default_options->ntfs and change fstype_override from ntfs-3g to ntfs. Or just delete fstype_override. It’s the same I’m doing with my little gnome-mount “hack”, I think. If you shouldn’t have gconf-editor installed, do it with yum: sudo yum install gconf-editor

  Hope I could help you :)

  Hi Matt

  It works very well. It’s enough change the setting using the gconf-editor
  but it was necessary to change also the value of the key mount_options from umask=222 to umask=000 in order to mount the device in read-write mode.

  Thanks.
  Very nice blog
