Re: Knoppix feature request: better ntfs support
Ah good - more titillation (LXDE?), but that's fine !
Pre-holidays excitement and all that.
In fact, it does! The filesystem field in /etc/fstab is set to "ntfs"
when fstab is auto-generated, which means that mount.ntfs is been called
on automatic mounts - which links to ntfs-3g for Knoppix.
That explains why such a FS is reported as "fuse" by "mount" when
I tried the v531 DVD. Couldn't the proper tag 'ntfs-3g" be used
to avoid confusion? Also, what happens if I boot to text mode for a
quick rescue session: will a naive "mount /media/sda1" use the kernel
driver (as suggested by fstab) or the safer ntfs-3g ?
All I can ask for at the moment is a little patience for the upcoming
ADRIANE live CD release, which will also be a preview of Knoppix 6.0 CD.
I think we've collectively gotten pretty good at waiting for your next
nugget to drop ;-)
Thanks for the explanations, and happy hacking.
