I appreciate the effort being made to address this bug#293433. Having typed
that, I do believe the severity posted is incorrect.
NTFS format has been around for years. USB devices formatted with NTFS have
also been around for years. The purchase price is dropping weekly on these
devices and many people have them now. To say the ability to hot plug an
external NTFS formatted drive, providing read/write to the external NTFS
formatted drive is only an "enhancement" is, I believe, a serious
understatement of the user need.
The user need is hot plugging with BOTH read/write. Who wants to read an empty
drive? No one. We want to write to external NTFS drives and share them with
other OS.
Reformatting the drive to VFAT32 or a Linux format is often not an option, as
such drives are often shared between other computer Operating Systems, with
files on the drives greater than 4Gbytes.
I installed Beta2 last night and checked. The drive mounts well with NTFS read
only (NTFS driver) but not NTFS-3G driver. Hence this "bug" is still present
in beta2.
Good luck in trying to resolve it.
