Package: ntfs-3g
Version: 1:2011.1.15AR.4+2011.4.12-2
Hello,
ntfs-3g doesn't mount any filesystem if it has write access to
/etc/mtab.
To reproduce the issue I did the following on a system booted into
emergency (plus started udev, fuse, ..., mounted /usr) where / is
initially ro-mounted:
root@(none):~# strace -o /run/ntfs-ro.trace ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/data /mnt
root@(none):~# ls -l /mnt
total 212
-rwxrwxrwx 2 root root 216550 Apr 21 11:32 some_stupid_document.doc
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 29 19:22 System Volume Information
root@(none):~# umount /mnt
root@(none):~# mount -o remount,rw /
root@(none):~# strace -o /run/ntfs-rw.trace ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/data /mnt
root@(none):~# ls -l /mnt
total 0
root@(none):~# umount /mnt
umount: /mnt: not mounted
The straces show that in the rw case ntfs-3g umounts the fs after it has
been mounted.
the relevant strace part for the ro case:
