NTFS read/write support
 

Here is an experimental ntfs-3g driver for os2008. You should be able to use your ntfs formatted usb disks/sticks with it. I take no responsibility if it breaks your device, forces you to reflash your tablet or ruins your usb disk. That been said, it shouldn't do any damage and if it messes up something, simply uninstall it and your tablet should be back to normal.

Installation is easy, just install these two packages and connect your usb disk when tablet is in usb host mode. Good luck.

fuse_2.7.3_armel.deb
ntfs-3g_1.2310_armel.deb

Update

Added some other fuse using utils by request.

@ukki: kind of curious about your signiture logo, is that suppose to be a Nissen fundoplication, or a 270 degree wrap? Is what one implies when working with 1) window$ 2) Linux 3) Nokia tablet? :) that one would be benefitial with an acid reduction surgery?

Haha, it's indeed Nissen. Went through a surgery a year ago and friends gave me a nickname solmumaha (something like knot stomach in english) because of it. Hence the avatar.

Re: NTFS read/write support
 

Your logo is cute, solmumaha.

And sure, I will try the progs tonight and thanks for the progs.

Thank you, ukki!

I had tried last week, in vain, to get NTFS to work, just using the ntfs.ko kernel module file. This looks like an elegant fix.

Since you have packaged up fuse so nicely for us, do you think you could package sshfs as well? There's a package here that seems to work under OS2008 with the openssh package and your fuse 2.7.3 package, after I installed it manually. Perhaps you could repackage it? I suspect there would be many people who would like it.

I actually have sshfs and avfs packages, but there are no guis for them so you need to mount by hand. Avfs allows you to cd into compressed archives and open files inside them without extracting the archive. You can even run binaries from your memory cards if they are compressed, even if cards are mounted noexec. I'll add them to first post.

Re: NTFS read/write support
 

Ooh, avfs sounds nice ^-^ :)

Thanks :)

Btw, i wouldn't have guessed, your avatar is a stomach :\

Re: NTFS read/write support
 

Yes, it sure looks like a certain other body part. I really wonder how bun got it :)

Re: NTFS read/write support
 

Just a question about the usage of avfsd: What is the "mountpoint" in this example, and where do you put the archive's name? Could you give an example that involves /home/user/archive.tar.gz please?

PS: I didn't see a body part at all. I assumed your avatar was a little pink guy bending over with his hands clasped in front of him.
