[Cialug] System overriding fstab options on system reboot.

[Matt Stanton]

It has been a long, long time since I bothered to research mounting ntfs in Linux, so the following may be mindless blabber, but:

The way I remember it, there are (or were?) two different ways to mount ntfs in linux: via an ntfs kernel module, or via fuse.  Maybe fuse can only mount it in some specific fashion, and this conflicts with the options you need to use.  Does this box have ntfs compiled into or as a module for the kernel?  If neither, then the system might be reverting to the use of fuse.

If fuse is the normal (and only) way for Linux to mount ntfs filesystems, then just disregard this as the ravings of an out-of-touch mind. ;)

Same issue, $ mount returns:

/dev/sdb1 on
/mnt/mounted type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)"

I added 'exec" to the options and removed "defaults", but the options are still replaced upon reboot.
