Re: Loading debian-live's filesystem.squashfs from NTFS with ntfs-3g
Hi!
I stumbled upon this problem, too: I needed to use live-rw from an NTFS
partition and have full R/W access to it.
Even blacklist=ntfs does not help, because is_supported_fs uses insmod
to load ntfs support when modprobe fails. Anyway, messing with module
isn't going to help because is_supported_fs will return 1 and fail the
mounting.
As I checked in the source package of busybox,
CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_HELPERS is 'y' for both regular package and static
busybox version (and is off only for udeb busybox). The reason why mount
does not execute mount helpers (/sbin/mount.ntfs -> /bin/ntfs-3g) is
because it is klibc mount, not busybox mount and it does not support
mount helpers at all.
Is it possible to switch to busybox for some of the initramfs utilities?
