Hi,

I'm currently working on packaging the latest ntfs-3g release for
inclusion in Ubuntu. Because of some changes to HAL recently, I have to
package a HAL fdi file with it, to modify some properties on NTFS
volumes in HAL so that we can automatically mount them with the ntfs-3g
driver. As part of this, I have to tell HAL exactly what mount options
are valid.

I'm unsure whether ntfs-3g supports the "exec" mount option. It is not
documented in the man-page and I had a quick look through the code and
it didn't look like a valid option. The only reason I ask this is
because the solution to "Why does Wine crash" on your support page [1]
suggests to mount the volume with "exec", and this had me wondering
whether it actually supports it. I just wanted to clear this up before I
package it.

Could you CC me in any replies as I'm not on the mailing list.

Many thanks
Chris Coulson
