When trying to mount one of my NTFS partitions without specifying the
"-t" option mount uses reiserfs instead of NTFS.
The mount command (util-linux-ng 2.13):
with 2.13+, mount itself no longer does filesystem detection. instead,
that job is left up to other (better) libraries which is a good thing
(people maintaining mount need not spend time on it).
however, there are two different libraries util-linux will attempt to
use and the one is decided at build time. please post the output of:
ldd $(which util-linux)
so that we can figure out what library you're using and so you can
figure out what library you should see if there is a newer version of
hrm, i'm guessing you didnt build util-linux by yourself ? what
distribution are you using and what version of the package ? if you did
build util-linux, please post the config.log after running `./configure`.
I am using Ubuntu 7.10 i386, the package version of util-linux is
2.13-8ubuntu1.
their control file says they force volume_id ... i wonder if they also forced
static linking (which seems kind of dumb, but whatever).
i'm attaching code distilled from the version of util-linux that you're
running. try compiling it like so:
gcc fsprobe_volumeid.c -lvolume_id -Wall -o probe_test
this will of course require you to install the volume_id dev package as well
as gcc and such ... unfortunately, there's no real way for us to know whether
the dev package you installed exactly matched the version statically linked
into util-linux ... but it's a start
then try running it like so (you must of course be root):
./probe_test /dev/sdh1
if volume_id is functioning correctly, it should return ntfs. that means the
problem may lie in util-linux's mount. if it returns reiserfs, it means
util-linux gets to wash its hand and redirect you to ubuntu's bug tracker as
the problem appears to lie in volume_id (which is not part of util-linux).
The test program returns reiserfs, so linux-utils works as expected:
root@centrino:~# ./probe_test /dev/sdh1
fsprobe_get_fstype_by_devname(/dev/sdh1) = reiserfs
Mike, thank you very much for pointing me a way through this problem.
I will report a bug for volume_id as you suggested.
Best regards, Peter.
