[Bug 1448678] Re: ntfs3g -s option should be ignored, making autofs mounts failing

Sun Apr 26 14:07:34 UTC 2015

Workaround (sorry, UGLY), but it "works for now". May give you troubels
updating in future :D.

cd /usr/sbin
cp -p ntfs-3g ntfs-3g.0
> ntfs-3g
vi ntfs-3g 

#!/bin/sh
# fixes automount -s option that crashes ntfs-3g
line=`echo $@ | sed -e 's/-s//g'`
/usr/sbin/ntfs-3g.0 $line

** Description changed:

  I've troubled some with mounting ntfs-3g file systems with autofs.

- AutoFS passes the sloppy option (-s) to mounts, which is actually a
- valid thing since mount is to behave on all filesystems the same option-
- whise. Though, the ntfs-3g filesystem does not support it, and fails on
- it, which it should not. This is in my opinion a misbehaviour of
- mount.ntfs3g, because it should just ignore the option and NOT exit.
