Hi all,
I did an "emerge -NuD world" last night and when completed, shut the
machine down. Upon booting today, localmount can't mount ntfs partitions
I use to dual boot Win7. I get an error along the lines of
Unknown file system 'ntfs'
This appears during the boot process and also if I do "mount -a" for the
ntfs partitions. This problem during booting causes many things to fail
resulting, eventually, in X/KDE/sddm from firing up and I'm dumped at a
cold, dark, command prompt, instead of a colourful, flashy graphical
login. Dos and Linux mounts are still good.
In fstab I commented out the mounting of the three partitions in
question, rebooted and everything fires up correctly, with the obvious
of no ntfs access.
Checking versions, this has just happened and the latest version of
ntfs3g is 2016.2.22. I have rebuilt kernels and ntfs3g multiple times
and still no joy. I downgraded to the second last version, 2015.3.14,
and now everything is good. I can only summise that the latest version
is dodgy.
Has anyone come across anything similar? I thought I would check here
before filing a bug.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated,
Andrew
