To enable Trash can support on an NTFS partition you need to associate an user-id with that partition.
Modify fstab
Associating a user-id with a partition can be done with an entry in the /etc/fstab file. You need the drive's UUID and an user-id, system's first user-id usually is 1000.
To find the correct UUID:
sudo blkid
Returns:
... /dev/sda2: LABEL="Ubuntu" UUID="12312312312312312" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sda3: LABEL="Data" UUID="45645645645645645" TYPE="ntfs" ...
Now edit fstab:
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
Add the following line:
... UUID=45645645645645645 /media/DATA ntfs-3g defaults,uid=1000,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 ...
When you followed the instructions the partition will be mounted after you start your machine. When you don't want that you should add 'noauto' as follows:
... UUID=45645645645645645 /media/DATA ntfs-3g defaults,noauto,uid=1000,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 ...
Now remount the partitions.
sudo umount -a sudo mount -a
Mount manually
You can also use the same options when manually mounting:
sudo mkdir /media/DATA sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/DATA -o defaults,noauto,uid=1000,locale=en_US.UTF-8
