Automounting NTFS drives

As I cited in an earlier post, RHEL 5 still doesn't have native NTFS support. After installing the NTFS support in RHEL 5, I would still have to manually mount my drive every time I plugged it in, after receving the below error:



Not a mission critical problem, more just an annoyance. After a bit of Googling, I found this simple fix to automount the drive:

ln -s /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g /sbin/mount.ntfs

And voila- no errors and it automounts like it should in the first place.
