For using ubuntu in real world scenarios this is a severe bug!! Imagine an ubuntu installation where not every user has sudo rights. This should be the case every time ubuntu is used in companies with right-minded administrators. There you cannot just "sudo mount ..." or reboot your system and start windows. In this case the user is screwed as he is incapable of working around this bug.
I think keeping this a wishlist feature for three releases now is inacceptable. The importance should be raised and be fixed with jaunty at the latest. Since one viable solution would be just accepting the "force" parameter be set in gconf-editor /system/storage/default_options /ntfs-3g (which raises an "invalid mount option error" currently), so the user can decide for himself if he wants to force the mount or not. Or am I seeing something wrong? -- User-friendly automounting of ntfs partitions with an unclean logfile https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175503 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
