Fails to set sendsig.omit

On further consideration, I really do think that mkfs.ntfs should ALWAYS be skipped. Filesystems (whether userspace or not) should be handled by umountfs not by sendisgs

Hence you should have:

echo pidof /sbin/mount.ntfs >> /var/run/sendsigs.omit
echo pidof /sbin/mount.ntfs-3 >> /var/run/sendsigs.omit
echo pidof /sbin/mount.other-fuse-fs >> /var/run/sendsigs.omit

inside of /etc/init.d/sendsigs. I will open a specific bug in sendsigs for that.

Also for some reason it works with

echo pidof mount.ntfs >> /var/run/sendsigs.omit

but not with

echo pidof /sbin/mount.ntfs >> /var/run/sendsigs.omit

echo pidof mount.ntfs >> /dev/.initramfs/varrun/

of course

ntfs-3g (1:1.1120-1ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Add udeb shlibs entries for libntfs-3g16-udeb.
    - Bump debhelper build-dependency to 5.0.22 for dh_makeshlibs
      --add-udeb.
    - Create libntfs3g16-udeb and ntfs-3g-udeb.
    - Copy ntfs-3g into the initramfs. If ntfs-3g is used to mount the root
      filesystem (either directly or via a loopback mount), load the fuse
      module beforehand, and save ntfs-3g's PID (indirectly) in
      /var/run/sendsigs.omit.
    - Move ntfs-3g to /bin.
    - Move libntfs-3g.so.* to /lib. Adjust libntfs-3g.so symlink to match.
    - Add /sbin/mount.ntfs symlink to /bin/ntfs-3g.
    - Add a symlink for the mount.ntfs manual page too.
  * Pass basenames rather than full paths to pidof; create
    /dev/.initramfs/varrun if necessary (LP: #150831).

ntfs-3g (1:1.1120-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * Bump library package name to match current soname.
