the windows vms are created by vsphere-client or XenCenter using vm-template, the format of all disks is NTFS. Thanks! 周涛 From: Richard W.M.

There are lots of possible causes for this: - You don't have ntfs-3g installed - /dev/sda isn't a filesystem (maybe /dev/sda1?) - The filesystem type really is some unknown new thing. (The last one is least likely) Try running the 'file' or 'vfs-type' command on the filesystem, or run 'virt-filesystems --all --long' on the disk and see what it says.
