References

  1. ↑ 1.01.11.21.3 This tells if that filesystem can be used in a system.scm system definition.
  2. ↑ 2.02.12.22.32.42.52.62.72.8 Since users simply run commands manually during the manual installation, they can easily use the (packaged) tools to create new filesystems and add them to /etc/fstab for automatic mounting.
  3. ↑ The installation fails with an error.
  4. ↑ The installation fails with an error.
  5. ↑ There is no hfsutils package.
  6. ↑ There is no hfsutils package.
  7. ↑ There is no hfsutils package.
  8. ↑ There is no hfsutils repository in the manifest.
  9. ↑ There is no hfsprogs package.
  10. ↑ There is no hfsprogs package.
  11. ↑ There is no hfsprogs package.
  12. ↑ There is no hfsprogs repository in the manifest.
  13. ↑ The installation fails with an error.
  14. ↑ Once installed, the rootfs is mounted with FUSE and ntfs-3g.
  15. ↑ The installation succeeds, but then sudo and policykit are broken due to wrong permissions. So users can't install any software. It's also a very bad idea to use NTFS since there is at the time of writing no way to safely repair corrupted NTFS filesystems with free software: The only tools we have are in ntfs-3g and they are way too experimental and dangerous so they are probably not shipped by any distribution.
