bug#56383: Neither Gnome nor udisksctl can mount an nfs filesystem

Ni! Connecting an external USB hard drive with an NTFS partition fails to mount it on both Gnome (Nautilus) and manually through udisksctl.

On nautilus, it shows the partition but clicking on it pops a window: "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error".

I've managed to successfully mount it with my non-root user using udisksctl:

$ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb2 -t auto

Strangely, "-t ntfs" didn't work, but "-t auto" did the trick. Even when it worked, the drive is mounted without permissions for my user (uid 1000), though I could copy files with sudo.

System logs show:

Jul  2 12:45:44 localhost vmunix: [16392.469209] ntfs: volume version 3.1.

Note that NTFS != NFS.  But to solve your problem, simply add ntfs-3g
to your operating-system's packages field.

Ni! Hello

"nfs" was a typo, sorry for that.

True, I can add ntfs-3g, but given that I was able to mount the drive without it, it would be nice if that worked, and it may point to something not behaving well with udisk.

Thanks for the info :)

The issue is known upstream as
https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/932.  For the time
being, the author/maintainer reccomends to "stick to the ntfs-3g for
now, it is a proved and stable solution." [0]

Closing, as this is an upstream issue already tracked.

Thanks,

Maxim
