Okay, here's an update. I changed the script to the following
----------
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: ntfsmount
# REQUIRE: fusefs
#
. /etc/rc.subr
name="ntfsmount"
rcvar=${name}_enable
command="/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g"
command_args="/dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows"
load_rc_config $name
: ${ntfsmount_enable="NO"}
run_rc_command "$1"
----------
and have also put rc_debug="YES" and rc_info="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, and the
result is the following
----------
/etc/rc: DEBUG: checkyesno: ntfsmount_enable is set to YES.
Starting ntfsmount.
/etc/rc: DEBUG: run_rc_command: _doit: /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1
/mnt/w
indows
fuse: failed to exec mount program: No such file or directory
----------
I don't exactly know what it means by "fuse: failed to exec mount program:
No such file or directory" since /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g exists, /dev/ad0s1
is my Windows 2000 partition, and I have created /mnt/windows myself.
Any ideas?
