Well maybe skip this as there is already a newer one (1.826) out there with interesting changes - quoted from mailinglist:
--- Minor maintenance release, mainly for the purpose to make ntfs-3g perfectly work with tools (e.g. rsync) which actively rely on fully posix file timestamps handling. Embedded distros may also like the new --disable-library configure option, thanks to Bernhard Kaindl. Please see more below. Major changes in this release: * fix: utime() also updated the timestamp of the parent directory but it shouldn't have. * fix: ignore the "volume dirty" bit because its real meaning is "check the volume". The fact of the real dirtiness is stored in the NTFS logfile which is already checked for. * fix: compilation failed with glibc 2.7 * new: the --disable-library 'configure' option can be used not to install but link libntfs-3g into the ntfs-3g binary. This decreases the binary size by 10-15% and increases performance by about 2-5%. --- In practice that means that you usually don't need the force option when the dirty bit is set. That's a really nice improvement. -- Please sync ntfs-3g (1:1.810-1) from Debian unstable (main) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134539 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
