Post Erratic access to ntfs drives
I'm running PCLinuxOS in a dual boot configuration with Windows XP Pro. Recently there was a major update for PCLinuxOS, and I've had problems accessing my NTFS drives ever since. I'm not sure if the problem is with PCLinuxOS or ntfs-3g. I have not been able to solve the problem with the PCLinuxOS forum, so now I'm trying here.

The problem manifests itself in the following manner: Some of my programs (such as OpenOffice.org and Wine) will not access the NTFS drives while other programs (like Gimp and Adobe Reader 8) access them just fine. Using Konqueror I can access an appropriate file on the NTFS drive and OpenOffice.org will open it just fine. It will then save the file back to the NTFS drive, but I can't open or save an NTFS file directly from OpenOffice.org. However, this procedure will not work with any program running under Wine. The programs that will not access the NTFS drives do not even show the NTFS drives in the directory tree.

I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling ntfs-3g, and that has not helped.

Any assistance in solving this problem will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Bob

Please submit bug reports to the application which have problems. NTFS-3G treats all applications equally.

However the issue is probably PCLinuxOS specific because nobody else is reporting this problem with OpenOffice.org and Wine.

Thanks for the quick response. I thought that this was probably the case, but I wanted to check out all possibilities.
