And ntfs-3g is on all media now
Whether ntfs-3g is on all media or not was was not the question why this bug has been reopened by Péter Kerékfy in comment #9:
ntfs-3g package is still not included in the default package selection so it is not installed by default.
Bernhard described the situation well in comment #5. We need ntfs-3g even if the system does not have any ntfs partitions at the time of the installation because external usb harddisk are often formatted to ntfs.
So I reopen this bug and I suggest to install ntfs-3g anyways.

293433 asks for a HAL change within the ntfs-3g package.
Meanwhile, after further testing and also finding a report which matches what we see, where the developer who answered made things clear, I found that it's better integrate these ntfs-3g storage policies directly into the hal package. I described this now it 293433#c12 . You also said:
And as long as installing ntfs-3g triggers actions on boot, I'm very much declined to install it.
It's fixed in the rebuild which was triggered Friday evening which has the package branch-off from fuse into libfuse2, so now you can uninstall fuse, and it's no longer pulled into the selections by ntfs-3g or compiz, so now you can add it to the selection without adding to the code which run while booting the system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
