Bug Description
In KDE's system settings I added a writeable mount point for a Windows NTFS partition.
In /etc/fstab, the mount point was created with "ntfs". But the most stable driver for this partition is ntfs-3g, which in fact is in the default install.

To post a comment you must log in.
The ntfs mount option points to the default/best mount option for NTFS; eg. in hardy it is actually ntfs-3g.
$ which mount.ntfs | xargs ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2008-07-14 12:18 /sbin/mount.ntfs -> /bin/ntfs-3g
So using ntfs should make sure that you always use the default/best NTFS driver.
