Hi Mauriat,

NTFS-3G uses the 'ntfs-3g' fs type for mounting.
The 'ntfs' fs type is for the default NTFS driver included in the Linux

I am curious as to what is the inherent difference between the two?

ntfs is in-kernel implementation while ntfs-3g is a better (more robust, safe to write) user space implementation that runs over fuse by the same developers. It might get merged into the kernel at some point in the future to replace the in-kernel implementation.

Well it works fine when mount -t ntfs is used but in my /etc/fstab the line /dev/sda1 /win ntfs noauto,user 0 0 does not work. Not at all sure why.
