Workaround (sorry, UGLY), but it "works for now". May give you troubels updating in future :D.
cd /usr/sbin cp -p ntfs-3g ntfs-3g.0 > ntfs-3g vi ntfs-3g #!/bin/sh # fixes automount -s option that crashes ntfs-3g line=`echo $@ | sed -e 's/-s//g'` /usr/sbin/ntfs-3g.0 $line ** Description changed: I've troubled some with mounting ntfs-3g file systems with autofs. - AutoFS passes the sloppy option (-s) to mounts, which is actually a - valid thing since mount is to behave on all filesystems the same option- - whise. Though, the ntfs-3g filesystem does not support it, and fails on - it, which it should not. This is in my opinion a misbehaviour of - mount.ntfs3g, because it should just ignore the option and NOT exit. + AutoFS passes the sloppy option (-s) to mounts, which it should not, + since ntfs3g does not support it. handle_packet_missing_indirect: token 7, name Elements, request pid 1882 attempting to mount entry /media/usb/Elements lookup_mount: lookup(file): looking up Elements lookup_mount: lookup(file): Elements -> -fstype=ntfs-3g,gid=100,dmask=002,fmask=113,utf8,flush,rw,noatime,user :/dev/Elements parse_mount: parse(sun): expanded entry: -fstype=ntfs-3g,gid=100,dmask=002,fmask=113,utf8,flush,rw,noatime,user :/dev/Elements parse_mount: parse(sun): gathered options: fstype=ntfs-3g,gid=100,dmask=002,fmask=113,utf8,flush,rw,noatime,user parse_mount: parse(sun): dequote(":/dev/Elements") -> :/dev/Elements parse_mount: parse(sun): core of entry: options=fstype=ntfs-3g,gid=100,dmask=002,fmask=113,utf8,flush,rw,noatime,user, loc=:/dev/Elements sun_mount: parse(sun): mounting root /media/usb, mountpoint Elements, what /dev/Elements, fstype ntfs-3g, options gid=100,dmask=002,fmask=113,utf8,flush,rw,noatime,user do_mount: /dev/Elements /media/usb/Elements type ntfs-3g options gid=100,dmask=002,fmask=113,utf8,flush,rw,noatime,user using module generic mount_mount: mount(generic): calling mkdir_path /media/usb/Elements mount_mount: mount(generic): calling mount -t ntfs-3g -s -o gid=100,dmask=002,fmask=113,utf8,flush,rw,noatime,user /dev/Elements /media/usb/Elements spawn_mount: mtab link detected, passing -n to mount >> ntfs-3g: Unknown option '-s'. >> ntfs-3g 2014.2.15AR.3 integrated FUSE 28 - Third Generation NTFS Driver >> Configuration type 7, XATTRS are on, POSIX ACLS are on >> Copyright (C) 2005-2007 Yura Pakhuchiy >> Copyright (C) 2006-2009 Szabolcs Szakacsits >> Copyright (C) 2007-2014 Jean-Pierre Andre >> Copyright (C) 2009 Erik Larsson >> Usage: ntfs-3g [-o option[,...]] <device|image_file> <mount_point> >> Options: ro (read-only mount), windows_names, uid=, gid=, >> umask=, fmask=, dmask=, streams_interface=. >> Please see the details in the manual (type: man ntfs-3g). >> Example: ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows >> News, support and information: http://tuxera.com mount(generic): failed to mount /dev/Elements (type ntfs-3g) on /media/usb/Elements dev_ioctl_send_fail: token = 7 failed to mount /media/usb/Elements + RedHat fixed it in mount.ntfs3g, see Reference: RedHat https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1180663 Reference: Fedora Fix https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-0613/ntfs-3g-2014.2.15-7.fc21 + Debian seems to want to import the upstream patch of autofs-5.10: Reference: Debian (against autofs, not mount.ntfs3g) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773607 which includes the bugfix of autofs-5.10 http://www.spinics.net/lists/autofs/msg01018.html Is it possible to get a fix for this in Ubuntu as the Fedora-Fix, or the upstream fix from autofs? I did change the category from mount.ntfs3g to autofs, since there seems to be a debian bug referencing to a autofs fix which I found just after I submitted this - please apologize. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to autofs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448678 Title: ntfs3g -s option should be ignored, making autofs mounts failing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/1448678/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
