Hi all, |
| 2 |
I did an "emerge -NuD world" last night and when completed, shut the |
| 3 |
machine down. Upon booting today, localmount can't mount ntfs partitions |
| 4 |
I use to dual boot Win7. I get an error along the lines of |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Unknown file system 'ntfs' |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
This appears during the boot process and also if I do "mount -a" for the |
| 9 |
ntfs partitions. This problem during booting causes many things to fail |
| 10 |
resulting, eventually, in X/KDE/sddm from firing up and I'm dumped at a |
| 11 |
cold, dark, command prompt, instead of a colourful, flashy graphical |
| 12 |
login. Dos and Linux mounts are still good. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
In fstab I commented out the mounting of the three partitions in |
| 15 |
question, rebooted and everything fires up correctly, with the obvious |
| 16 |
of no ntfs access. |
| 17 |

Checking versions, this has just happened and the latest version of |
| 19 |
ntfs3g is 2016.2.22. I have rebuilt kernels and ntfs3g multiple times |
| 20 |
and still no joy. I downgraded to the second last version, 2015.3.14, |
| 21 |
and now everything is good. I can only summise that the latest version |
| 22 |
is dodgy. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Has anyone come across anything similar? I thought I would check here |
| 25 |
before filing a bug. |

Any thoughts greatly appreciated, |
