From 3f209edf6ed6a17690aa89bd169d090676237b27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eelco Dolstra Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:19:45 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] * Updated ntfs-3g to 2011.4.12. Also create a sbin/mount.ntfs symlink to ensure that NTFS filesystems are mounted using ntfs-3g, which is much better than the kernel NTFS driver. In particular, this ensures that udisks will automount external NTFS drives with read/write support.
