[Bug 162863] Re: ntfs-3g does not respect fstab options

[Dominic Jänichen]

This errer indeed got re-introduced (if it was fixed according to
#205081). It affects Precise, now.

$ apt-cache policy ntfs-3g
ntfs-3g:
  Installed: 1:2012.1.15AR.1-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:2012.1.15AR.1-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1:2012.1.15AR.1-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

$ ntfs-3g --version
ntfs-3g 2012.1.15AR.1 external FUSE 28

As discussed in #205081, ntfs-3g should use *internal* FUSE libraries,
instead.

Title:
  ntfs-3g does not respect fstab options

Status in “ntfs-3g” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ntfs-3g

  Please install ntfs-3g as setuid so the options 'users' and 'user' can
  be used on /etc/fstab.

  From the ntfs-3g man page:

  "If  ntfs-3g  is  set  setuid-root then non-root users will be also
  able to mount block devices or via /etc/fstab if the ’user’  or
  ’users’  mount(8)  option  is specified.  The  ntfs-3g process drops
  the root privilege after successful mount and runs unprivileged
  afterwards."
