Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: util-linux
mount returns code 21, that includes 4 = ~"internal mount bug" when
trying to mount ntfs partitions; even though fsck/ntfsfix/gparted/chkdsk
all say the partition is good; even update-grub won't recognize the
windows installation, some kind of kernel incompatibility?
All possible mount avenues -
$ sudo mount -a
$ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda7 /windows/E
$ sudo mount -t ntfs -U <uuid> /windows/E
$ sudo ntfs-3g [ <device> | -U <uuid> ] /windows/E
even right=click -> mount from gparted
plus naturally automount at startup
Including, after commenting the fstab entries, trying to mount from
nautilus; every time return code 21;
as one of the flags involves write access to mtab, I cleared the
/etc/mtab.fuselock file that seemed to have appeared at one stage,
although no difference; as should be normal, root - owner - has write
permissions, so no apparent reason for the flag
