Since I upgraded to the ntfs3g-2012.1.15-r1, mounting volume via /etc/fstab at startup stopped working. When I try to mount volume manually I receive following error: # mount /mnt/win_c mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-3g' but when I use ntfs-3g directly: # ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/win_c/ everything works fine. Reproducible: Always Here's my /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 1 /dev/sda6 / ext3 defaults,noatime 0 0 /dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sda2 /mnt/win_c ntfs-3g umask=0,locale=pl_PL.UTF-8,noatime 0 0 /dev/sda3 /mnt/win_d ntfs-3g umask=0,locale=pl_PL.UTF-8,noatime 0 0 # NOTE: The next line is critical for boot! none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 $ emerge --info ntfs3g: sys-fs/ntfs3g-2012.1.15-r1 was built with the following: USE="acl crypt external-fuse ntfsprogs udev -debug -extras -static-libs -suid -xattr" $ uname -a: Linux komp1 2.6.39-gentoo-r3 #1 Wed Nov 30 14:29:49 CET 2011 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3700+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux $ cat /proc/filesystems: nodev sysfs nodev rootfs nodev bdev nodev proc nodev tmpfs nodev debugfs nodev sockfs nodev pipefs nodev anon_inodefs nodev devpts reiserfs ext3 ext2 nodev ramfs vfat iso9660 nodev fuse fuseblk nodev fusectl udf xfs nodev mqueue nodev usbfs nodev cifs
Reopen with `emerge --info` attached (in particular I'm intrested in util-linux version)
Created attachment 309147 [details] emerge --info
util-linux version: sys-apps/util-linux-2.17.2 was built with the following: USE="crypt nls perl unicode -loop-aes -old-linux (-selinux) -slang (-uclibc)"
(In reply to comment #3) > util-linux version: > > sys-apps/util-linux-2.17.2 was built with the following: > USE="crypt nls perl unicode -loop-aes -old-linux (-selinux) -slang (-uclibc)" Well, considering that umount (not mount) got support for finding umount.* helpers from /usr only in version >= 2.20.1-r2 I'm taking an educated guess your util-linux version is just too old for this. The current stable util-linux is 2.20.1-r1 so upgrade to *at least* that. Anything below that is not supported anymore.
Upgrade to util-linux is 2.20.1-r1 resolved this problem. Big thanks for your assistance.
