Description:
testing udisks fails to mount my external ntfs drive with the error:
org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Failed: Requested filesystem type is neither
well-known nor in /proc/filesystems nor in /etc/filesystems

I understand this is an upstream problem, but since arch saw fit to package an unreleased version of udisks maybe a workaround could also be arranged?.. :)

Reported the bug upstream too, of course:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270689
This task depends upon

i guess is related to: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/udisks/commit/?id=c933a929f07421ec747cebb24d5e620fc2b97037

workaround:

# cp /proc/filesystems /etc
# vi /etc/filesystems
append vfat and ntfs to this list and save

once you do that you should be able to mount the drives. just did this and it worked for me, YMMV.

here is the upstream report https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32232

you can add a comment saying that the current implementation breaks mounting usb external ntfs partitions

THis also occurs with pcmanfm-git (+ libfm-git) for external usb drives with ntfs-3g.

i don't see anyone commenting upstream. I'm going to close this bug as not a bug since it works fine with nautilus

I've installed kde today and I had this problem. The /etc/filesystems trick works for me.
Comment by Benjamin Robin (benjarobin) - Monday, 02 May 2011, 19:07 GMT
echo "ntfs" >> /etc/filesystems
Solved the problem.
Adding /etc/filesystems to the ntfs-3g package doesn't look like a good idea... But this will be great to fix this problem ASAP :-)

Edit: Never mind, it's looks like it's fixed in the commit of 2011-03-15 by David Zeuthen. We just need to wait the new release, or we can patch our package

see my comment. I won't do anything until i see something upstream.
Comment by Ionut Biru (wonder) - Monday, 02 May 2011, 23:16 GMT
@Benjamin what are you talking about? our udisks is from 10 april, last commit is from 5 april which means that it contains that "fix".

I already pointed out why ntfs mounting is broken and the upstream bug report.

I'm having this problem for the first time (udisks 1.0.3-1).

There is just a missing comma at line ~ 5905

static const gchar *well_known_filesystems[] =
{
"btrfs",
"ext2",
"ext3",
"ext4",
"udf",
"iso9660",
"xfs",
"jfs",
"nilfs",
"reiserfs",
"reiser4",
"msdos",
"umsdos",
"vfat",
"exfat" <---- Missing comma
"ntfs",
NULL,
};
