Nice to see my submission right here 🙂 Really fast Eugenia !
I have downloaded and tested captive-ntfs on a notebook (Sony Vaio) here running Fedora Core 1. These are so far my impressions:
– installation of the RPM worked perfectly (it also scans the hdd for ntfs drives and creates entries in /etc/fstab plus the
directories in /mnt )
– first mount is slower than the Linux native NTFS driver from kernel
– read/write seems to work okay at the beginning….BUT i recognized a problem with big files. For example i tried to watch a movie sitting on one of my ntfs partitions…after 10 minutes or so mplayer stops. When i try to continue the playback mplayer loads and then just quits with “file ended”…really curious.
– i also once had a CPU raise to 100% for a few moments after mplayer stops working.
Maybe this is a bug or maybe it´s just because i used the RPM package which is not approved for Fedora (RedHat 9 was tested).
Any others share the same experience here ?
