ntfsprogs

Will need this one for Light.

The source on the site is called...
ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2012.1.15
Looks as if they are combining the ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs together now.

Looks like we already have ntfs-3g as part of vector.

Code:

slapt-get --search -s ntfs-3g
ntfs-3g-2011.1.15-i486-1 [inst=yes]: ntfs-3g (NTFS read-write filesystem driver)

granted it is a year old.

However I have built the new one (with both ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs) and will upload it shortly, but have changed it's name to simply ntfs-3g-2012.1.15, so it will work proper with upgradepkg.

Let me know if it works for you, maybe test the ntfs-3g side too.
Thanks Ken

Here is a peek inside the package I made.

Does it look like it's got the required bits?

Good test here.

I booted VL7.0-STD-GOLD-LIVE and used gparted. In default config it would not create/resize ntfs, but after upgrading to new package it works. Mount/read/write looks good too. Thanks!
