Bonjour,

Got this message while using mount -a (with ntfs partition declared in 
fstab):

WARNING: Old FUSE kernel module detected. This means, some driver features
are not available (swap file on NTFS, boot from NTFS by LILO),
and unmount is not safe unless you make sure the ntfs-3g process
naturally terminates after calling 'umount'. The safe FUSE kernel
driver is included in the official Linux kernels since version
2.6.20-rc1, or in the FUSE 2.6 software package. Please see the
next page for more help: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#fuse26


kernel is 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6  (not 2.6.20...!) fuse module is in use when 
I lsmod.

I don't understand the meaning of this message.

Thanks for lights.
