Hello everyone,

Rich, is this something we can consider enabling back in AlmaLinux?
Does it work? Is it safe?

Hi,

I've noticed you had disabled NTFS support from guestmount (and the
likes), but kept it for v2v.

Can you tell me the reason why it was disabled from guestmount in
the first place?

How would I re-enable it in the spec file today? the winsupport does
seem like the mount.ntfs is there, is it blocked in guestfs itself?

That's intentional, we're not going to change it, and I can't
go into the reasons.

Rich.

ok, thanks you for reacting. Since there seems to be no good reason,
I'll advise some other distro's to re-enable it.

in guestfs; I found that patch005 is the culprit.
