Description Harald Koenig 2009-11-04 17:04:58 UTC
I updated from 11.1 to 11.2 RC1 (via DVD) and further. 

now I noticed that my fstab entry 


    /dev/sda4            /windows/vista       ntfs     noauto

does not work anymore, because "ntfs" now is spelled "ntfs-3g"


IMHO the update should convert the fstype field when updating...
Comment 1 Arvin Schnell 2009-11-09 11:51:06 UTC
Simply using mount without a fstype option does not work. The mount
command should be able to use ntfs-3g instead of ntfs.
Comment 2 Arvin Schnell 2009-11-09 12:01:28 UTC
Overall the situation is inconsistent: blkid reports "ntfs" but mount
cannot use that fstype.
Comment 3 Arvin Schnell 2009-11-16 14:54:10 UTC
Also, since we support update via "zypper dup" any conversion cannot
be done by YaST but must be done by some appropriate package.
Comment 4 Stephan Kulow 2009-11-17 16:24:11 UTC
No, we support "zypper dup", but that doesn't mean it has to be feature compatible with yast update. If you need a wiki page with instructions to "polish" the update, it's fine.
Comment 8 Petr Uzel 2010-07-09 11:24:23 UTC
The root cause is missing /sbin/mount.ntfs symlink - already fixed in bug#544199.
