Summary: This tells hald to mount NTFS volumes as ntfs-3g instead of ntfs, so they become writable
Keywords:  InCVS
Status Whiteboard: 
Opened: 2008-07-10 07:13 0000
Description:   Opened: 2008-07-10 07:13 0000 
Currently, hald mounts NTFS file systems readonly using the in-kernel ntfs
module.  When installing ntfs3g, the IMHO expected behaviour is to mount them
writable instead.  The attached ebuild and fdi do this when hal is in USE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ntfs3g
2. mount an NTFS volume via hald, e.g. with konqueror
3.

Actual Results:  
Volume is mounted readonly using the kernel's NTFS support

Expected Results:  
Volume should be mounted R/W using ntfs3g

Same, but DEPEND on sys-apps/hal accordingly

Oops, forgot the dependency

Sorry about those dependency emails. New version sys-fs/ntfs3g-2531-r1 commited
to CVS with HAL use flag that installs the FDI file.
