Hi, since some time I experience very unpleasant system freezes. The culprit seems to be the ntfs driver of kernel 2.4.21.
After installing this kernel I started to get the error message: NTFS: Unicode name contains a character that cannot be converted to chosen character set. Remount with utf8 encoding and this should work. I therefor changed my fstab entry to: /dev/hda1 /disks/ntfs ntfs nodev,nosuid,ro,iocharset=utf8,umask=0 0 0 The next day the freezes started ... The freezes "normally" occur during daily cron tasks, with heavy disk activity, and I can reproduce them with high probability by doing a find on the ntfs drive. (Not that I like to experiment with that too much ...) My questions: Is this a known bug? Where should I report it? Is there an alternative to iocharset=utf8 which would prevent the freezes but nevertheless support all the characters? (They should be all latin1 or whatever corresponds to latin1 in the windows world, I suppose.) Thanks a lot in advance!
