Re: Mounting with ntfs-3g

Only if the module/kernel involved remaps the device to the right UUID.
Considering that seemed to break when the recent kernel changed SATA
devices from /dev/hdx to /dev/sdx it could happen again.

The reasoning behind using UUID vs traditional device names is that an
UUID will not change for a partition (unless you reformat it) whereas a
device name can change if the drivers get loaded in different orders,
drives get moved around, etc :)

I have an ntfs partition I want to mount at boot time.

However, ntfs-3g, being a userspace filesystem, isn't available at boot time
and I get an error message when from the mountall.sh script.

Is this simply a matter of getting some modules into the initrd image, or is
there another way to get a userspace filesystem to mount automatically
(short of just creating another script at init level 2).

Sorry, forgot to add the relevent bits from my fstab; note that his is
from the edgy to feisty upgrade so it shows both the edgy config (hda1)
and the new feisty config (UUID):

# Was: /dev/hda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g
auto,group=ntfs,umask=007 0 0
# /dev/hda1 -- converted during upgrade to edgy
UUID=EE68xyz /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,local=en_US.utf8 0 0
# /dev/<your partition> /media/<mount point> ntfs-3g
defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0

I've yet to figure out the reasoning for the UUID vs hda1...
