Please give us the output of emerge -pv sys-fs/ntfs3g so we can see what USE flags you used and which version is installed, and the contents of your /etc/fstab file.

Seems to me your drive is in /dev/sda
I don't know what your fstab means by "/dev/disk/by-uuid/90E036CDE036B8F4 /media/Transcend ntfs-3g auto,defaults,uid=1000,gid=100,user 0 0", but it should work if you just changed that to /dev/sda1 with the drawback that then every storage device you connect will be mounted on /media/Transcend, which is obviously not what you want but at least should give you access to your data.
Oh, btw. could ntfs-3g be wrong? |

| well i use "dev/disk/by-uuid/90E036CDE036B8F4" in /etc/fstab so that my specific external usb hdd be mounted in /media/Transcend and not on some other mount point...it worked until recently...i tried using /dev/sda1 also in /etc/fstab but that didn't work either...anyway "dev/disk/by-uuid/90E036CDE036B8F4" should be a link to my external usb hdd whether it is actually sda1,sdb1,sdc1 or whatever...what do you mean ntfs-3g might be wrong?? root account can mount the hdd by ntfs-3g both /dev/sda1 and /dev/disk/by-uuid/C00CD0FD0CD0F000 which is a symbolic link to /dev/sda1...only my user account cannot mount it...but ntfs-3g is built with suid use flag...which is supposed to allow local users to be able to use it to mount ntfs hdds...any ideas?? rebuilt ntfs-3g and didn't work either... |

I'm getting exactly the same problem here since ntfs3g was upgraded to 1.2216, so I'm guessing that this is a bug in that version, or that something has changed and the 'suid' USE flag isn't having the desired effect any more. I'll maybe do some more digging and file a bug report if I don't find out what the cause is. The partition can still be mounted by su'ing to root from a terminal, and accessed fine by a normal user.
As a side issue, KDE has started automatically trying to mount my external hdd partition when I power it on - before, it used to pop up a requester asking what I wanted to do (I preferred this). Have no idea what has caused this change in behaviour, need to sit down and go through what's been updated recently. I don't think it's ntfs3g related as my external hdd has 2 partitions, one ntfs, one ext3, and it automounts both of them without asking.

According to my emerge.log, ntfs3g went from 1.2129 to 1.2216 on 20th Feb. If you scroll up a bit from where ntfs3g appears in your log, you should see a line like this -
| Code: | | 1203468579: Started emerge on: Feb 20, 2008 00:49:39 |
The number on the left is Unix time btw - it can be converted to 'normal' time.
http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm
It might be worth masking 1.2216 in /etc/portage/package.mask as a temporary fix.

Quote from the above linked ntfs-3g release note:
| Quote: |
Thanks to our Gentoo users and Miklos Szeredi, it was found out recently
that the FUSE kernel module used from the FUSE software packages (Gentoo
default) with the 2.6.24 Linux kernels can lockup the system.
Solution: use the FUSE kernel module included in the 2.6.24 Linux kernel
(drawback: NTFS can't be NFS exported).

from what i've read from the links you mentioned | Code: | - the user has access right to the volume
- the user has access right to the mont point |
my user has access rights to the mount point but how could i get my user to have access rights to the volume?? what do you mean by volume?? is it "/dev/sda1" for example?? how could i make sure that my user has access rights to the volume?? | Code: | | brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 2008-02-25 23:49 /dev/sda1 |
this is what i get from /dev/sda1... |
