Package: ntfs-3g
Version: 1:2011.1.15AR.4+2011.4.12-2
Severity: normal
Mounting NTFS volumes through gvfs currently fails with an error from ntfs-3g
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE
library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated
FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at
http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged
after reconfiguring it to use setuit root, the error message changes to:
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
Mount is denied because setuid and setgid root ntfs-3g is insecure with the
external FUSE library. Either remove the setuid/setgid bit from the binary
or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root.
Please see more information at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged
So it is currently unusable either way
