givré, this is mostly a question to you.
So, what could one do to use the latest ntfs-3g in Edgy? There was recently a new version released that fixed a major bug, I'd like to switch to it, but I'd like to do it with minimal hassle.
How important is the dependency on fuse 2.6? Is it really required or just recommended? From one of your posts here one gets to understand using pmount could be a workaround if one doesn't use the latest fuse.
What are other requirements for building ntfs-3g on Edgy? Any library dependencies that are incompatible with packages in Edgy?
Could you provide, say, a backport for Edgy users? E.g. a separate stream in one of your repos that would contain an "unstable" version of latest ntfs-3g, ready to be installed in Edgy? That would be most convenient.
Thanks.
We are currently discussing what is the best to do.
You absolutely need library+kernel module >= 2.6 with the latest release, but some fix don't rely on it, and can be use with 2.6+old kernel module, so we are currently discussing two way of doing the upgrade :
- making a separate release with only fix that don't need kernel module >= 2.6
- find an easy way to update the kernel module.
But in any way, i don't want to maintain a repo providing fuse module for every ubuntu kernel.
My pmount change prevent a bug that could occur when ejecting removable device. But the full fix need the newest kernel module, but even if there is a workaround for it, you still need newest kernel module to compile latest ntfs-3g. That's all the problem.
nothing more than a working fuse.
I'd like to propose a full solution. Hopefully, it will come soon.
Thanks.

trying to execute that first command told me it was the same file
Code:monoxide@Ubuntu:~$ sudo cp /etc/fstab.bak /etc/fstab.bak cp: `/etc/fstab.bak' and `/etc/fstab.bak' are the same fileCode:sudo mount -aCode:mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/disk/by-uuid/52C0581FC0580C1B, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
This is a attached hdd and is not removable.
Hi, Just to warn you I'm as fresh as you can be to linux.
I did exactly at the HOWTO said (apart from getting the ntfs-3g from ubuntu repository), but after I restarted I can't see any of my two ntfs-drives.
Then I triedbut got following message:pmount-hal /dev/hdc1
But my device are not removable....Error: device /dev/hdc1 is not removable
Error: could not execute pmount
What do I do now? I would like to get this to work without having to install ubuntu again.
Please help, as told before - I'm super-green at this. *S*
