Hi,
is there a (official) way, do disable ntfs.ko.gz?
blacklisting this module does not work.

What exactly do you mean by "embedded NTFS module"?
blacklisting this module does not work.
Define "does not work", i.e. what would you expect, and what is occurring instead?
Also, please post subjects regarding extensions under respective subforum, not under "Base".

Hi tinypoodle
Also, please post subjects regarding extensions under respective subforum, not under "Base".
Actually, I think this is in the right spot. Under 4.x ntfs.ko.gz shows up in /lib/modules/3.0.3-tinycore/kernel/fs/
which I think is part of the base.

Yes, it's in base. You could delete it in a remaster (That's what I would do (TM)).
That makes me remember a great thing I learned because of tinycore: disabling things not by putting a flag or boot options but by using the most intuitive, clean way: deletion.

I reckon I stand corrected - likely I have not made any attempt to mount ntfs since that was introduced into base.

Why would you want to remove ntfs? If that is to force ntfs-3g use instead, an alternative is to change the /usr/sbin/fstype this way at boot:
sudo sed -i 's/\$(blkid \$1)/$(blkid $1|sed s@TYPE=\\"ntfs\\"@TYPE=\\"ntfs-3g\\"@g)/' /usr/sbin/fstypeI got this tip from SvOlli :)
See here if you want this change right from boot-time:
