Hi Tomas M,

Sorry for the late reply, I was on a fantastic trip in Africa.

What do you exactly mean by "NTFS-3G mountpoint to fail"? What happens and
what do you expect to happen?

If ntfs-3g gets a SIGINT or SIGTERM then it should cleanly unmount the
volume.

If you use it as a root filesystem then most often (depending on your
setup, etc) you shouldn't kill it first.

I'm not sure this is an ntfs-3g or killall5 issue but more like a distro
dependent one. In certain scenarios it can be ok to use killall5, and in
others it isn't.
