Binary package hint: ntfs-3g

Hi!

You should maybe update the NTFS-3G driver on Buntu versions still
supported to at least 1.2506. Versions prior to it could be considered
dangerous. Here is the release history on this version:

STABLE Version 1.2506 (May 6, 2008) :
Fix: In certain, rare circumstances, any area of the NTFS volume, except the NTFS boot sector, could get corrupted. The chance for this to happen is higher for close to full disk utilization and using one of the more uncommon, less than 4096 byte cluster sizes. The cluster size is logged under the /var/logs directory usually in the 'messages' or 'daemon.log' log file, as the blksize mount parameter. All stable releases have this issue since version 1.328. Upgrade is strongly recommended from all NTFS-3G releases.

Ok, it says rare, but I'm scared :)

** Affects: ntfs-3g (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
