At least the gentoo-rc3 definitely had the broken new NTFS driver (hung) but they switched to the fixed 2.1.1a one recently, at least in the development. Are you sure you're running 2.1.1a?

If it's 2.1.1a then please enable NTFS debug during kernel config then do 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/ntfs-debug' and send the output when it hangs. Anton, I really think 'compiled in debug' should be the default or even always compiled in until the driver rocks. I've seen other problems in 2.5.63 as well ... > I'm going to try the vanilla kernel with only the new linux-ntfs > driver patch applied. Yes, please do and let us know. Szaka |
