Public bug reported: Hi dear co-linuxiens,
That might strike you that I aim this bug report towards FUSE instead of towards NTFS-3G, but here follows my explanation : I roughly estimate there exist a dozen bugs related to the FUSE technology in Ubuntu/Natty-Beta (and maybe in Debian sid too), amongst those the half were already present in Ubuntu/Maverick-Stable (not LTS either, though). This will take me huge (astronomical, I'm not a developer) time to investigate that matter, so be patient, please. I encourage U to ask me for more information, and to instruct me debugging material & practices, for the sake of Godness OSS. I cannot do more right now, which I'm very sorry about. PS1 : /etc/mtab says the ntfs-3g-mounted filesystem is mounted read/write. PS2 : ls -ld OR ls -l, followed by <mount_point> clearly shows the tree hierarchy is readonly for anybody, root included. { PS3: In order to help diagnose such kind of troubles, I would like some would to tell me how to do the thing here depicted : Most people know how QEmu provides COW devices and allow the user either to commit or abort the changes made to a block device. I would like someone to tell me whether it exists a (linux-2.6.38+) driver which allows experiments on a block device so that the modifications made to the storage contents never get written to the underlying block device without explicit instruction from the user to flush and commit those actual modifications. } Franco de Porc, Valentin.
