Bug Description
Binary package hint: ntfs-3g
Hi, on a clean gutsy tribe 4, my system has a ntfs partition configured. Inicialy ubuntu uses ntfs read only driver and the acording mount options are selected in fstab.
Upon web update i noticed ntfs-3g is now used instead (Great!!!), but the mount options contain a "nls=utf8" used for the old driver i should be changed to "locale=
Mail me for any feedback and or testing.

ntfs-3g doesn't need either the nls or the locale mount option if the language specific locale environment is already correctly setup by the distribution before mounting the volumes (Ubuntu 7.10 already should do this way). More info is at http:// ntfs-3g. org/support. html#locale
In short, if the distribution is correctly setup and configured then there isn't need for extra, language specific mount option.
