Martin, I sent an email to Szaka (ntfs-3g author) and took the liberty to subscribe him to this bug report. Szaka ping ;)
My understanding is that Szaka is aware of the patch and that it will be incorporated upstream possibly with some additional modification. It is unclear though whether that will be done in time for Intrepid. Colin will probably prepare a patch for intrepid to be used if the upstream version is not ready in time. The lupin hack were less then perfect, for at least two reasons: 1) they did not really achieve full sync, hence exposing users to potential data losses as a result of hard reboots (comment #31), 2) they were not always "well tolerated" as the original bug report shows (comment #17), the values used at present are less strict because of that and while I haven't seen any complaint I cannot exclude that the issue is still lurking. I am sure that Colin can clarify it further. -- wubi install unusable - Buffer I/O error on device loop0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204133 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
