Comment 1 for bug 199161

As it turns out, the error report above was not due to ntfs-3g deficiencies, since the user was on vfat... The issue was that in hardy initrd generation involves hard links (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyInitramfsErrorHandling) which are not supported by vfat.

In any case I still think that upgrading to 1.2216 makes sense since the inability to perform normal file operations in ntfs might have well generated similar (if not worse) issues.
