Comment 28 for bug 205081

I'm sorry, I checked and you added it to 2216 (at least from the changelog for that version), the version I was testing in hardy, not 2310. I was confusing version numbers.

This is one of the entries, for a external usb drive that I share with the windows machines at work:

/dev/disk/by-id/usb-IC25N080_ATMR04-0-0:0-part1 /media/akasa ntfs-3g defaults,users,allow_others,rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,utf8,locale=pt_PT.UTF-8

Notice the two final options, they are mandatory for me to be able to access dirs and documents with accented characters.

For this drive, the unchanged ntfs-3g will only allow mounting it as root.
