-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-6386 2008-07-15 04:39:28 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ntfs-3g Product : Fedora 8 Version : 1.2712 Release : 1.fc8 URL : http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ Summary : Linux NTFS userspace driver Description : The ntfs-3g driver is an open source, GPL licensed, third generation Linux NTFS driver. It provides full read-write access to NTFS, excluding access to encrypted files, writing compressed files, changing file ownership, access right. Technically it’s based on and a major improvement to the third generation Linux NTFS driver, ntfsmount. The improvements include functionality, quality and performance enhancements. ntfs-3g features are being merged to ntfsmount. In the meanwhile, ntfs-3g is currently the only free, as in either speech or beer, NTFS driver for Linux that supports unlimited file creation and deletion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: * Fix: A corrupted size directory or a directory over tens of million files may hang the driver. If NTFS-3G is compiled with an external FUSE library (non- default on Linux) then FUSE CVS is needed until FUSE 2.8.0 is released. * Fix: Removing alternate data streams and extended attributes leaked memory. * Fix: Mount could fail with some mount(8) utilities (e.g. busybox one) if the /etc/mtab file didn't exist or was on a read-only file system. This fix should solve most of the "/bin/mount: invalid option -i" mount problems. * Fix: The driver always returned "I/O errors" if the standard file descriptors were closed during mount, e.g. via some usage of udev, hotplug, etc. For the full details, see: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ntfs-3g.devel/607 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sat Jul 12 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2:1.2712-1 - update to 1.2712 * Mon May 5 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2:1.2506-1.1 - missing patch * Mon May 5 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2:1.2506-1 - update to 1.2506 * Tue Apr 22 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2:1.2412-1 - update to 1.2412 * Mon Mar 10 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2:1.2310-2 - update sources * Mon Mar 10 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2:1.2310-1 - update to 1.2310 - make -n a noop (bz 403291) * Tue Feb 26 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2:1.2216-3 - rebuild against fixed gcc (PR35264, bugzilla 433546) * Tue Feb 19 2008 Fedora Release Engineering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2:1.2216-2 - Autorebuild for GCC 4.3 * Mon Feb 18 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2:1.2216-1 - update to 1.2216 * Tue Nov 20 2007 Tom "spot" Callaway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2:1.1120-1 - bump to 1.1120 - default to fuse-lite (internal to ntfs-3g), but enable --with externalfuse as an option * Thu Nov 8 2007 Tom "spot" Callaway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2:1.1104-1 - bump to 1.1104 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
