[Bug 658384] [NEW] ntfs partition segfaults on "mount", but "ntfs-3g" works

[Xebozone]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mount

I am dual-booting windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10, (using the windows
bootloader). Both operating systems work fine.

On boot of ubuntu, I get an error for my windows partition (which does
not appear in dmesg, and to which I cannot recall right now, but I think
it was an "unexpected exit" error), and when I try to mount it with the
mount command, i get a segmentation fault.

I have run chkdsk /f with windows, and rebooted several times. gParted
reports no error, and "checking" the partition doesn't change anything.

However, if I use the ntfs-3g program to mount instead of "mount", I can
successfully mount the partition with no error.

This problem existed in Ubuntu 10.04 too.
