Comment 26 for bug 300443

Right, I think I understand why this is broken now. In Intrepid, gnome-mount is configured by default to mount any partitions with "volume.fstype=ntfs" with the ntfs-3g driver. In Jaunty this is the same, but it doesn't work because it appears that the alternative fstype needs to be specified in "volumes.fstype.alternative" when you are mounting a filesystem with a driver that is not the same as what is specified in volumes.fstype. This constraint doesn't appear to exist on Intrepid

So, this would have broken anyway with or without the ntfs-3g change from Debian.
