** Tags added: dist-upgrade natty2oneiric regression-release ** Description changed: + == Regression details == + Discovered in version: 11.10 + Last known good version: 11.04 + I've got a dualboot laptop, and the installer has created fstab entries for the NTFS partitions. But now oneiric is complaining that it can't mount them, and prompts me on boot what to do about it. Skipping or ignoring the error makes the boot complete, and boot.log reveals that it fails due to fsck.ntfs being missing. So, ntfs-3g should symlink fsck.ntfs to ntfsfix or ntfsck, though the latter fails to check my partitions, so maybe ntfsfix would be better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/838091 Title: should link fsck.ntfs - ntfsfix/ntfsck To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntfs-3g/+bug/838091/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

But what should I do when I start my Oneiric and it bothers me with fsck.ntfs for my two windows partitions? As there is no possible check, you should not request a check. Checks at boot time are determined by the last field in /etc/fstab. quote from man fstab : If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked /quote I need a really solution. There are two possibilities : either you avoid the check, or you find someone volunteering to develop a checker for free. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/838091 Title: should link fsck.ntfs - ntfsfix/ntfsck To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntfs-3g/+bug/838091/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 838091] Re: should link fsck.ntfs - ntfsfix/ntfsck
1) This problem will affect all users that have ntfs checks requested in their fstab after upgrading to oneiric. These are supposedly *very many*. 2) The real problem is not that the check fails, but that oneiric's startup screen FALSELY reports that there were serious problems mounting the drives. The screen should report that the drives could not be checked since no program to do this was available. The message as it is will badly scare users, since the must assume that their data is damaged, which, most likely, is not the case. 3) Not requesting the check will of course avoid this bug. But since users could safely request checking in fstab up to natty without receiving any errors, we must assume that checks *are* requested for ntfs drives. 4) This is a show stopper for oneiric. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/838091 Title: should link fsck.ntfs - ntfsfix/ntfsck To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntfs-3g/+bug/838091/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes, that's fine. But what should I do when I start my Oneiric and it bothers me with fsck.ntfs for my two windows partitions? It's not a solution to say 'If you want to call fsck.ntfs, do so with an option avoiding the checks, until some kind soul strives to develop them.' Haha. With Natty I never had such trouble before. When it is not possible to check a partition, Ubuntu shouldn't come with such stupid error messages. It should ignore such things it can't handle. I don't want that the boot process gets interrupted and wants me to press S to skip these check. I have to do this 2 times on every boot up. This can't be true. I never had it before and I don't want it for the future. I need a really solution. Such things shouldn't happen.

So, ntfs-3g should symlink fsck.ntfs to ntfsfix or ntfsck, though the latter fails to check my partitions, It fails because the development of ntfsck has been interrupted years ago before anything useful was developed. so maybe ntfsfix would be better. ntfsfix does not check the volume, it fixes common errors preventing from mounting, and triggers a check by Windows. If you can mount, you do not need ntfsfix. If you want to call fsck.ntfs, do so with an option avoiding the checks, until some kind soul strives to develop them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/838091 Title: should link fsck.ntfs - ntfsfix/ntfsck To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntfs-3g/+bug/838091/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
