Bug 412129 – sys-fs/ntfs3g-2012.1.15-r1: mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-3g'

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Jacek Trubłajewicz 2012-04-15 17:51:06 UTC]

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

Reopen with `emerge --info` attached (in particular I'm intrested in util-linux version)

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.
