 ./ntfs-3g --help

ntfs-3g 2010.1.16 integrated FUSE 27 - Third Generation NTFS Driver
No wonder it's not working. See http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g ... mpression/ - it says compressed NTFS is only fully supported after 2010.8.8.
It's a static compile by Barry. I have no idea how to update it. Little help?
Well I can see you don't need that already :lol:

Yeah, was surprisingly easy. :) . Yet to hear a report if it works though, but no reason it shouldn't.

BTW: works just fine to mount a normal ntfs partition using my above instructions, except I called with full path to binary, that way you don't need to whack it in PATH or move your existing ntfs-3g binary, creating unnecessary whiteout files.

Test with01Micko's new module

#23 Post by gcmartin »

Thanks for the newer module. Here what I did and found

On the NTFs partition, I have a folder where I've put boot directories for Slacko, Pemasu's Precise, Barry's Precise. and Carolina. GRUB4DOS was set up as a Boot Manager with entries to boot each distro.

Using Pemasu's Precise,
  1. I downloaded 01Micko's NTFS fix
  2. double-clicked each directory's "initrd.gz" file which opened to allow /bin/ntfs-3g file to be replaced with 01Micko's entry of ntfs-3g
Next,
  • I booted each distro - no problem
  • made FirstRUN changes in each distro - no problems
  • Started a "reboot plus save-session" for each distro
Here what I found
  • Carolina, no problem in reboot. Carolina found and used the save-session that was there
  • Pemasu's Precise, no problem in reboot. Pemasu's Precise found and used the save-session that was there
  • Barry's Precise ran into boot-time issues with Messages "uncompression error" and "System halted"
  • Slacko, indicated I/O errors in shutdown processing. On reboot, it failed as soon as it touched the save-session file.

gcmartin,
Just to eliminate them, could you test these, make sure that they are correctly identifying your (compressed) ntfs partition...

For example, say it is /dev/sda1:

# guess_fstype /dev/sda1
# blkid /dev/sda1
# disktype /dev/sda1
# fdisk -l /dev/sda1

This is assuming that you are using the recent ntfs-3g that supports compressed ntfs.

I wouldn't have any problem doing this. But, I would like someone to recommend a distro which either has the latest in its REPO or built-into the base distro. (I would prefer providing feedback from any distro with this in the base).

Thanks in advance for any recommendation(s).

Edited: .Both of Pemasu's latest Upup versions have ntfs-3g updated version through woof.

NTFS resolution FOUND. Works both compressed & non-compress

#26 Post by gcmartin »

Resolved
Pemasu's uPUP 54X7 with the NTFS fix works fine. No errs at Shutdown, as system acknowledges save-session. System, on reboot, starts; finding and using the save-session file as expected. At desktop, the customization from last session exist as expected.

The results asked for
