[Bug 838091] Re: should not try to fsck ntfs volumes on boot

[Colin Watson]

There are a few ways in which we might choose to fix that; that wouldn't
be my preferred one, but this is a colour-of-the-bikeshed argument.
Rather than getting into solutions, can you answer Steve's question?

  should not try to fsck ntfs volumes on boot

Bug description:
  == Regression details ==
  Discovered in version: 11.10
  Last known good version: 11.04

  I've got a dualboot laptop, and the installer has created fstab
  entries for the NTFS partitions. But now oneiric is complaining that
  it can't mount them, and prompts me on boot what to do about it.
  Skipping or ignoring the error makes the boot complete, and boot.log
  reveals that it fails due to fsck.ntfs being missing.

  So, ntfs-3g should symlink fsck.ntfs to ntfsfix or ntfsck, though the
  latter fails to check my partitions, so maybe ntfsfix would be better.
