Package: util-linux
Version: 2.42.2-2
With the new kernel update (7.1.8) in testing, the ntfs3 driver is
removed and only the (new) ntfs driver is shipped. util-linux itself
defaults to mounting with ntfs3 causing mount to fail: [1]
blkid -p /dev/TEST/vol
/dev/TEST/vol: LABEL="FSYS" FSBLOCKSIZE="4096" BLOCK_SIZE="512"
FSSIZE="335543808" UUID="795B32D87AC844FD" TYPE="ntfs" USAGE="filesystem"
# mount /dev/TEST/vol
mount: /var/lib/cockpittest/mnt/foo: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs3'.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
# uname -r -v
7.1.8+deb14-cloud-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 7.1.8-1 (2026-08-11)
# mount --version
mount from util-linux 2.42.2 (libmount 2.42.2: selinux, smack, btrfs,
verity, namespaces, idmapping, fd-based-mount, statmount, statx,
fanotify, udev, assert, debug)
My suggestion is to compile util-linux with --with-ntfs-mounttype=ntfs
if the kernel team made the conscious decision to only ship the "ntfs"
driver.
