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 |

# 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.
you can add a comment saying that the current implementation breaks mounting usb external ntfs partitions
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
I already pointed out why ntfs mounting is broken and the upstream bug report.
