Mepis 6.5: Time for an upgrade of ntfs-3g?
Posts: 101
Some of the niggling issues with ntfs-3g seem to have been addressed in its more recent upgrades - see http://www.ntfs-3g.org/releases.html
Unfortunately, at work I'm forced to use NTFS-formatted flash drives under Windows XP (FAT is ludicrously slow) and then swap data with Mepis 6.5.02 at home. But every so often some of the snags described above crop up, and I lose even more hair!
I don't know whether everything would be sweeter with more recent versions of ntfs-3g, but, considering the number of potential Windows XP users migrating to Mepis, perhaps this could be given some priority?

I tend to agree with you ringan. I am having the odd niggles too, so I emailed the devs with a link to this post.
