ntfs-config doesn't recognize uuid fstab entries

[unggnu]

Binary package hint: ntfs-config

Ntfs-config checks on every program start the hard disk for ntfs partitions and if they aren't listed in fstab it asks if it should add them. This is a great feature and works fine but it doesn't recognizes ntfs partitions entries which are listed with the UUID in fstab so it always asks even if the partitions is mounted.
BTW ntfs-config should use the UUID instead of the hda/sda devices for new partition entries since the Feisty kernel seems to switch between hda and sda on some systems for EIDE and I think there are other good reasons why UUID is used since Edgy.

What make you think that it don't recognize UUID entry in fstab?
The version currently in feisty repo should recognize UUID=* entry.
(but not /dev/disk/by-*, LABEL= ... stuff)

That's true that this version don't use UUID for new NTFS device, but
i'm not sure that this require a stable release update.

If ntfs-config will still be needed in next ubuntu release, it will handle that
just right.

You can test latest version if you want :

UUID ntfs partitions are mounted fine with ntfs-3g but the tool ntfs-config doesn't recognize them as I described above. Otherwise it wouldn't ask for adding partitions which are listed in fstab with an UUID. I don't have made a request for an updated Feisty version I only posted this bug to prevent it from being in Gutsy.

Since ntfs-config isn't needed anymore in Gutsy and Hardy I guess this report is obsolete. Closing.
