NTFS harddrive is not working properly for Entware #962

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Enable Entware in the web UI.
2.Plugin freshly formatted NTFS external hard drive with 1 NTFS partition 
(maybe USB flash is ok, but didn't try) with empty /opt directory freshly 
created.
3.Go to console and install just 'less' (opkg install less)
4.Execute less from command line(it's working ok)
5.Do either a
  I) Router reboot
  II) Usb drive re-connect
  III) Remount drive from command line. I use the following commands:
umount /opt
umount /media/<HARD_DRIVE_LABEL>

mount -t ufsd /dev/sda1 /media/<HARD_DRIVE_LABEL>-o sparse,force,noatime
mount -o bind /media/<HARD_DRIVE_LABEL/opt/ /opt

6.Execute less. 

Expected results - less is working as before.

Actual result: -sh: less: Input/output error

It seems that ntfs is working only from the first installation. 
Every subsequent remount causes this problem :-(

Paragon NTFS driver not supported symlinks. Entware not worked w/o symlinks. 

Use Ext2/3/4 or XFS.

I see :-( Is it possible to have 2 partitions: 1 with Ext4 and 2nd with NTFS, 
and place all of the Entware thereon Ext4 partition?

Maybe it would be possible to use ntfs-3g? It seems that advanced version 
supports symlinks: http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-advanced/

NTFS-3G is very slow (down to 3x) and high CPU usage (bacause userspace mode).

Yes, you can use 2 or more partitions with any supported FS

Great! What is a recommended size for the Entware partition?

I use Flash Drive 8Gb (you may see it on images in WiKi).
The directory /opt has a size of about 80 MB in my router.

Also, if you plan to use Transmission with NTFS, you can download files to EXT4 
partition and after move its to NTFS drive (transmission muse .incomplete 
directory).

Thank you :-)

But I assume i can place the even incomplete files directly on NTFS volume? In 
worst case i can create symlink from .incomplete directory to NTFS folder.
