you forgot to add something like the below, to your /etc/fstab file:

    /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0

modify what's above, so it works for you.

This works fine. I can read/write to/from my NTFS partition and ext3 partition.

The only possible issue I saw was that after the upgrade to 5.3, it
didn't work. Possibly I needed to wait longer for it to kick in, or
reboot again. Akemi I think commented on that thread.

OT: About the Canon support for Linux, some years ago, I received a
reply from Lexmark Tech Support that they wouldn't release an updated
Linux driver for our printer. Probably won't be buying any Lexmark
printers after that.
