In order to switch easily between ntfs-3g, libntfs and kernel-ntfs,
Knoppix always uses "ntfs" as file system type for /etc/fstab. But
mount.ntfs, which is automatically called unless you use the -i option
of mount, will use ntfs-3g as default.
You can check by looking at the output of "mount" with no parameters.
ntfs-3g should appear as "fuse" or "fuseblk". Plus, there should be a
fusermount or ntfs-3g process running while the partition is mounted.
