Dear Scott, I'm sorry for the inconvenience

Yes, I refer to available file systems, not necessarily mounted. I don't
know yet about udev entries, I'll figure out later. Regarding NTFS utils, I
have ntfs-3g installed

I don't know yet how to use udev rules but I guess it's not too simple so I
will find out myself.

I think this second approach would be fine for me. Here are the 2 partitions
I'm mentioning

#fdisk -l
Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1          13      102400    7  HPFS/NTFS
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2              13         274     2097152    b  W95 FAT32
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.

ntfs-3g install
ntfsprogs install

Thank you,
Hoang
