Comment 6 for bug 453605

I've tried the solution suggested above but when I stick the NTFS USB drive
in, it says it can't mount it and point to this bit of documentation:

Unprivileged block device mounts work only if all the below requirements are
met:

   1. ntfs-3g is compiled with integrated FUSE support
   2. the ntfs-3g binary is at least version 1.2506
   3. the ntfs-3g binary is set to setuid-root
   4. the user has access right to the volume
   5. the user has access right to the mount point

http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged

But the default ntfs-3g version shipped with Lucid is not compiled with
integrated FUSE support:

user@host:~$ ntfs-3g --version
ntfs-3g 2010.3.6 external FUSE 28
user@host:~$

So maybe that works only for FAT drives? Anybody have a workaround for NTFS
drives in that case? :)
