Package: debian-installer
Version: 20121114
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainers,

While installing Wheezy b4 from USB drive, debian-installer (I think)
adds a line to /etc/fstab:

/dev/sdb1   /media/usb0   auto   rw,user,noauto   0   0

The existence of this line, specifically the 'user' option (I think),
prevents mounting of NTFS filesystems by ntfs-3g, which results
in a standard ntfs-3g error:
"""Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the
external FUSE library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild
NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root.
Please see more information at
http://tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged""";

Reported are other USB mounting issues as well:
https://www.google.com/search?q=(debian+OR+ubuntu)+mount+usb0+(ntfs+OR+"")+/etc/fstab

The fix is to comment-out or delete the fstab line and let the
automounting be done by udev, which is part of base install anyway.

thanks

Hi,

thank you for submitting bug reports concering debian-installer, much 
appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are very old and/or
- they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for 
years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to 
close wishlist bugs.)

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - and that's often better, as the bug 
log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
