I have USB external drives that I understand to be NTFS, that automount, on Debian 6 (both before LTS, and, with LTS), so I think that that might not be a problem. I have just checked. I have an HP USB external HDD, 500GB. It is NTFS, as shown in the Debian 6 system Disk Utility. It automounts on Debian 6LTS, and, it had been automounting on this Debian 6 system, before the LTS. So, I believe that it is not an issue to do with NTFS. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
