Description Josh Cepek 2008-05-26 19:17:40 UTC

On the 2008.0_beta2 i686 LiveDVD NTFS_FS support appears to be compiled as a module but the module can't be loaded:

# zgrep NTFS_FS /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m
# modprobe ntfs
FATAL: Module ntfs not found.
# find /lib/modules/2.6.24-gentoo-r5/ -iname '*ntfs*'
#

I'm unsure if this affects other platforms since I am unable to test on anything except i686. As I see it, either the module should be added or the support shouldn't be in the kernel. Once FUSE support is added in pending Bug #174284 , ntfs-3g could be an alternative if NTFS_FS support is to be removed.

This should be fixed in 2008.0, which is now released.
