[Solved] Konqueror and NTFS-3g

This weekend, I built new modules for FUSE 2.61 and NTFS-3g-20070118 for Slax. They work, but there's a wrinkle. I can't mount NTFS partitions as R/W from KDE's KONQUEROR. KONQUEROR's mount helper seems to skip past /etc/fstab and apparently uses the obsolete NTFS R/O kernel support (yes, I explicitly built the FUSE kernel module).

When I mount w/ the MOUNT cmd, this is what goes into the System log:

Source code

Jan 23 14:59:02 (none) ntfs-3g[26192]: Version 0.20070118-BETA
Jan 23 14:59:02 (none) ntfs-3g[26192]: Mounted /dev/hda1 (Read-Write, label "WINXP-NTFS", NTFS 3.1)
Jan 23 14:59:02 (none) ntfs-3g[26192]: Options: noatime,rw,users,silent,allow_other,fsname=/dev/hda1,blkdev,blksize=4096


If I mount via KONQUEROR, this is what shows up:

Source code

Jan 23 14:42:05 (none) kernel: NTFS volume version 3.1.


I went so far as to test a shell-script wrapper for the Mount cmd on KONQUEROR's service (context) menu. No joy. I could generate and issue the desired MOUNT cmd, but when I took KNOQUEROR's mount helper out of the loop (naturally) KONQUEROR didn't know the partition had been mounted. Not even after restarting it.

I'm just about out of ideas, so if someone has fresh brain cells to spare, I'd apreciate....

did you disable the generic ntfs driver to prevent it from loading into the kernel?

No I did not. If you could share the instuctions, I'd appreciate. So far, variations of searches on "disable kernel driver" have come up w/ nothing relevant....

Solved with a recompile of the kernel and disabling the NTFS kernel driver. Later....Jet
