    Mounting external NTFS drive with different driver

    Hi, everyone !
    I have an Ubuntu 10.04 box that accesses NTFS drives along with ext4.
    Recently, I switched from ntfs-3g to Paragon NTFS driver, which is proprietary, but free of charge. It feels quite faster on my internal drives.
    Now I have a problem with external eSATA NTFS drive.
    When it is detected, I mount it via Nautilus GUI, but it gets mounted with the ntfs-3g driver. (It can be mounted via command line with the Paragon driver, but this is less convenient.)
    How can I configure my system (is it Gnome or some system-wide configuration ?) to mount all NTFS drives with the Paragon driver ?

    If you will be using Paragon, you can temporarily remove the ntfs-3g drive and later, can re-install if you feel you need it.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove ntfs-3g

    Why do you think removing ntfs-3g driver will make Nautilus mount my drive with Paragon ? Maybe it will just fail now ? We did not imply in any way that Paragon driver should be used for mounting certain type of drives.
