But HAL has no option to use it. I see that many linux distros have already made incorporated the support of ntfs-3g (e.g. see http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6525 , http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_NTFS_write_with_ntfs-3g ), unfortunately they use udev of their own scripts so this is unportable for now. Some changes in hal-storage-mount and .fdi files are required to assure it will work under FreeBSD, I suppose. It would be great if autodetection of ntfs-3g installed and switching to using it would be availible. Or, a user should decide whether to use ntfs-3g, and to make hal depend on fuse and ntfs-3g ports, or to leave present behaviour at the compilation time. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
