Hi,

In the default set of desktop services, ntfs-3g is made setuid root:

> (simple-service 'mount-setuid-helpers setuid-program-service-type
>                 (list (file-append nfs-utils "/sbin/mount.nfs")
>                       (file-append ntfs-3g "/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g")))

However, as it is built with:

> "--with-fuse=external" ;use our own FUSE

Running mount.ntfs-3g yields:

> Mount is denied because setuid and setgid root ntfs-3g is insecure
> with the external FUSE library. Either remove the setuid/setgid bit
> from the binary or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and
> make it setuid root.

Hello.

Reminder that this issue is still a thing, I'm unable to mount NTFS
partitions at boot because ntfs-3g relies on the external FUSE kernel
module and refuses to run with setuid right now.

The only two possible workarounds I can see is either manually mounting
the partition after boot as sudo/superuser, or compile ntfs-3g modified
locally with the FUSE support enabled, and use the modified version
instead.
