Previously, I had asked this list about this error which occurs when
trying to backup to an external NTFS drive:
http://pastebin.ca/1342055
Blame seemed to be placed on attr and libattr which had just been
updated that day. However, regressing libattr had no difference.
I then looked back at my yum log and saw that NTFS-3G was updated a few
days earlier. Since I rebooted right before this error occurred, perhaps
mounting my external drive NTFS-3G upon reboot had caused it. Checking
NTFS-3G's site we see:
http://www.ntfs-3g.org/releases.html
STABLE Version 2009.2.1 (February 12, 2009)
<snip>
# Change: The user extended attribute namespace is supported by default
on Linux.
The release notes on this point states:
The user namespace extended attributes are supported from now by default
on Linux. The other namespaces like system, security, and trusted, are
supported by the Advanced NTFS-3G driver. Please see more at
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/b.andre/advanced-ntfs-3g.html
and
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/b.andre/extend-attr.html
I read this to mean that "streams_interface=xattr" (or something) is
default and NOT "streams_interface=none" as was true before. So I try:
# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdd1 /media/LaCie -o streams_interface=none
and, voila, I can backup!
My question now is, should I just always mount as
"streams_interface=none" or is there something I can change with
rdiff-backup to allow me to now use the new default mounting option of
"streams_interface=xattr".
Thanks,
Matt
