Package: libblkid1
Version: 2.16.2-0
Severity: normal
blkid library always report "ntfs" as filesystem type for NTFS
devicesEnigmail
is _is_ correct, but being ntfs-3g available it is unfeasible to mount
NTFS devices with read only support provided by ntfs type
blkid returned type is used by mount command and syscall no type is
explicitly specified, this can cause some problems, for example
I have a custom kernel (built from debian sources) in my machine,
I removed kernel support for NTFS because I am going to use ntfs-3g only,
but blkid keeps returning "ntfs" as filesystem type and mount without -t
option on NTFS devices fails (error is "mount: unknown filesystem type
'ntfs'")
and Gnome automounting system fails too (with the same error message)
I have recompiled libblkid1 package changing "ntfs" string (filesystem
name)
in ntfs.c file (shlibs/blkid/src/probers/ntfs.c) to "ntfs-3g" and now
Gnome and commandline mount works perfectly
Mine is not a good general solution, but libblkid should provide an
/etc file
configuration to allow users to choose "ntfs-3g" as their default
NTFS filesystem type

This is not a bug since the type of the filesystem is in fact, ntfs.
If you want to use the ntfs-3g driver, then you can symlink mount.ntfs
to mount.ntfs-3g, and in fact, that is what the ntfs-3g package does
these days.
