Hi Georg,
Thank you for the bug report and patch.
May I ask why do you install mount.ntfs-3g and ntfs-3g to somewhere else
and where?
If mount.ntfs-3g is not in /sbin and they are not on the root file system
then typically something will surely break, e.g. mount via fstab, automount
during boot, etc. These problems are not always reproducible, depend on the
environment and can be very frustrating for users. Typically mount helpers
must be on the root file systems and mount(8) looks for them in /sbin.
Recently even mount(8) in busybox added support for mount helpers.
Didn't you intend to submit the patch below? Would this fix you problem?
(Note, this could still result mount failures if ntfs-3g is not on the root
filesystem).
Thank you,
Szaka
