I'm not sure whether this is a smack problem, but Mandriva users are

Yes, this is a smack/fuse interaction problem. Also see this thread:

Casey, you were CC-d on the last mail in that thread. Did you miss
that?

Ok. I just set my a machine to try this on and with today's
Linus git tree as the base I'm able to mount an NTFS file system
just fine. Just to be perverse, the machine I'm working with
has Oracle Enterprize 5 installed, with ntfsprogs-2.0.0.

How about a .config, lsmod, etc?


Looks like a "never mind" with the .config etc as I've been able to reproduce the hang
by the simple process of using ntfs-3g, like you did. Thank you.
