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 -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32 Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libblkid1 depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libuuid1 2.16.2-0 Universally Unique ID library libblkid1 recommends no packages. libblkid1 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
