Mark, Thanks for your patches. Before I found this post, I had started to work around the apparent lack of support of "noatime" in Solaris's FUSE. I did this by #ifdef'ing out the various places in ntfs-3g.c which relate to this flag. I also worked around the build errors in a similar way as you, by including the headers and hacking the configure script. But when I performed the mount, the system hard-locked. Even without noatime, something is going very wrong.
I then checked out the latest hg version of fusefs and libfuse, applied your patches, and applied to your patches to ntfs-3g against version 1.1104, and got further than I could get on my own. Everything builds, but upon mounting: # ntfs-3g /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p2 /windows/c fuse: mount failed: Invalid argument Since your post says "make ntfs-3g work", I assume you actually got it working. But upon checking the readme, I see that I need Nevada Build 77 for it to work. I only have Build 76. Have there been other changes made somewhere in Build 77 that are essential for this? If so -- how do I get Build 77? Currently, the OpenSolaris Community Edition only offers Build 76. I'm from Linux, so this may sound stupid, but -- is there an online repository out there with the latest Build 77 software that I can download, and e.g. update my kernel and any related libs? # uname -a SunOS vk4rms 5.11 snv_76 i86pc i386 i86pc If you just threw Build 77 out there because that's what works with your system, that's fine too - but hopefully you did really get it to work, so that I can try and mimic what you did. Your patches get the job done, but I've also cooked up a few more changes to ntfs-3g that might increase its chances of being accepted upstream: 1. The configure script now passes in -D__SOLARIS__ to gcc if $target_os contains "solaris" (it's usually reported as "solaris<major>.<minor>" so an exact match won't do.) 2. All of our Solaris-specific changes to ntfs-3g have been encapsulated in #ifdef __SOLARIS__ to ensure there is zero impact on other platforms. 3. I've #ifndef'ed out the noatime code, because I suspected that as the culprit. Maybe I should leave it in, if your changes to fusefs/libfuse have actually made it work? I'm attaching diff -ur patches to ntfs-3g 1.1104's "configure" and "src/ntfs-3g.c" files with my changes merged into yours. Hopefully these can be committed to upstream; and hopefully you can help me get ntfs-3g working on my system! :) Note: I'm not sure if it has let me attach the files, so I also uploaded them to my website: http://tiyukquellmalz.org/ntfs-3g.c.patch http://tiyukquellmalz.org/configure-ntfs-3g.patch Thanks, Sean -- This messages posted from opensolaris.org
