Details
The above can be easily acheived by making symlink from
/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g to /sbin/mount.ntfs, because mount first
looks for mount.<filesystem> command. In effect `mount
/dev/somevolume /mnt/dome/dir` mount's it with ntfs-3g [if
it's an ntfs volume of course:-)]. Works fine for me, it
would be nice to find such feature in stock ntfs-3g
package:)

Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: This may cause trouble, so don't do it.
We should look into providing a hal fdi file, so that a hal-mounted ntfs volume will always use ntfs-3g and provide proper write support.
Everything that is done manually can be done with a -t ntfs-3g or the right fs type in fstab.

That doesn't really sound smart to me. What if you wanted to mount
an NTFS volume using the kernel drivers instead of ntfs-3g while
you have ntfs-3g installed?
