NTFS-3g during reboot

Hello,
when I reboot, killall5 kills all processes, including ntfs-3g, causing
the NTFS-3G mountpoint to fail.

Is it possible to fix this problem anyhow?

Or should I forwarded the problem to killall5 developers?

Thank you

Tomas M

Warning about wrong fuse module

Hello,

I just got the following error, and I find it it not well described.

> WARNING: Deficient FUSE kernel module detected. Some driver features are
>          not available (swap file on NTFS, boot from NTFS by LILO), and
>          unmount is not safe unless it's made sure the ntfs-3g process

What is right? Cos http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#fuse26 is saying:
=====================================================================
Why do I get "WARNING: Deficient FUSE kernel module detected"?

The FUSE technology used by ntfs-3g consists of two major parts: a
library and a Linux kernel driver. The message means that you either
have the faulty FUSE 2.6.2 release, or the library (FUSE package) is
safe but the kernel driver is not. When you install or upgrade the
FUSE package then it installs only the library, not the kernel driver.
In other words, ntfs-3g and FUSE is safe but not your kernel.
=====================================================================

So obviously not both the kernel and the fuse package bring along the
kernel module. But the versions of the kernel module AND the fuse
package must "match" meaning that they should work together.

Bug report: folders with non-ASCII letters aren't displayed

I'm using ntfs-3g with the following /etc/fstab:

Re: Bug report: folders with non-ASCII letters aren't displayed

I think it's related to your locales settings (which are different if 
you login as root). Simply add 'locale=.....' mount option to your fstab.

I would suggest you to read this.

Re: Bug report: folders with non-ASCII letters aren't displayed

Thanks. It's working fine now. I'll report the problem to openSUSE.

By the way: Binary packages for openSUSE are avaible from:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/filesystems/ (for the list on ntfs-3g.org).

Copying files using globs fills up all available disk space

I found this problem on the version of ntfs-3g found on the Trinity
Rescue Kit and also on the latest release of ntfs-3g for Gentoo.  I use
ntfs-3g when recovering data from dying hard drives and when I am
copying from an NTFS partition to another NTFS partition using globs (eg
"cp * /Documents and Settings/User/Desktop/Backup/") the disk I am
copying to always fills up entirely even when I was copying the contents
of a 160GB hard drive to a 320GB (empty) hard drive.  I experienced this
on two different machines, one was using TRK and the other was Gentoo.
I am not sure that this is definitely a globbing issue or not but it is
the only time I can remember it happening.  It seems like it loops
through the glob and just starts copying again after it finishes.

mmap problem in ntfs-3g?

Hi,

NTFS-3g is working perfectly fine but I have this problem: I have 
Crossover 6.01 installed with MS-office2003 which is working fine but 
office-files located on a NTFS-drive mounted with NTFS-3g are reported 
as 'Read-Only' when opened in MS-Office using Crossover. I can not save 
changes to these files. This is not a permission problem since these 
files can be renamed or overwritten. I contacted Crossover, and go this 
reply (support ticket 123175):
 >>
After talking with our head developer it seems the ntfs-3g driver does 
not support writtable mmaps. This feature is needed for our software to 
work properly. The best thing I can advise is to contact the developers 
of the driver and ask them what will be needed to add support for this.
 >>

I'm running a standard 32-bit Kubuntu 7.04 install, (fuse 2.63, ntfs-3g 
1.328, kernel 2.6.20.15-generic). I updated to the latest ntfs-3g 1.417 
and again, everything works perfectly fine besides the problem mentioned 
above which seems to be related to the mmaps.

regards,
-peter

tfs-3g use after restart fail...solving give me

$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0)
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Operation not supported
Mount is denied because NTFS logfile is unclean. Choose one action:
   Boot Windows and shutdown it cleanly, or if you have a removable
   device then click the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows
   taskbar notification area before disconnecting it.
Or
   Run ntfsfix version 1.13.1 on Linux unless you have Vista.
Or
   Mount the NTFS volume with the 'ro' option in read-only mode.

Writable mmap is supported, the very rare shared writeable mmap isn't yet.

The issue is independent of ntfs-3g and is a pure kernel, FUSE kernel
driver one. When the support will be implemented in the Linux kernel then
any ntfs-3g driver will support shared writtable mmap without any change.
