Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 dev with ntfs-3g 1:2013.1.13AR.1-2ubuntu1. I have the partition /dev/sda2 on my hdd which is a native ntfs filesystem from Windows XP and /dev/sdf1 which is a fuseblk from creating the filesystem with mkfs.ntfs. On mounting any of this both partitions the /sbin/mount.ntfs process doesn't close after the partition was successfull mounted. For example executing "mount /dev/sda2 /mnt" and checking the current state will result in the following output:

root@ubuntu:~# ls -a /mnt && sleep 10 && ps -Af | grep 'mount\.ntfs'
. .. bootfont.bin boot.ini Dokumente und Einstellungen NTDETECT.COM ntldr pagefile.sys Programme RECYCLER System Volume Information WINDOWS
root 7239 1 0 17:04 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/mount.ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt -o rw

Why do you think it is supposed to close?

Does mount.ntfs something essential in daemon mode if the device is mounted? If not then there is no reason to keep the process open.

Because it runs under FUSE. It is not a kernel module. It doesn't matter how it runs so long as it works.
