How can I hotplug and automount NTFS devices?

The NTFS hotplug and automount support is highly distribution specific regarding the used technologies and the preferred mount configuration. This is what should happen on a higher level:
1 Detect storage hardware.
2 Detect NTFS on the hardware.
4 Start the NTFS-3G driver with the user and distribution preferred mount options.
5 Mount the NTFS volume.
The NTFS-3G file system developers are working only on item 4. This is a huge and very complex task itself. The distribution and other developers are working on item 1, 2, and 3, which solutions are vastly different depending on all kind of preferences.

Solution: If you would like to have this feature in your distribution then please ask your distribution vendor or developers to support this feature.

Workarounds: Either of the following could help.

Creating a symbolic link, as shown below, is reported to solve automount on many distributions.
ln -s /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g /sbin/mount.ntfs

If you use KDE and get the "TODO: have to rethink extra options" error message then open `media:/' in Konqueror, choose `Storage Media', right click the removable device, select 'Properties', select the 'Mounting' tab then unselect the 'Mount as user' option.

There is a great utility, called ntfs-config, which is reported to work fine on at least Ubuntu.

Status: Not NTFS-3G problem.

You can also make NTFS to be mounted during boot by adding the following line to the end of the /etc/fstab file:
