Full kernel list of available file systems is under: /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-amd64/kernel/fs/ BTW, ntfs-3g is not installed by default (I do not have it).

Invalid option when trying to mount the volume
Hi, I've got an USB key whose FS was manually set to NTFS for different reasons. This USB key is correctly recognized under one of my two Debian computers, but this one (laptop) does not like it that much, as plugging it gives me an error `invalid option when trying to mount the volume.' It does not even appear under /media/ (or, maybe, it could be `disk' whose content is empty). Tailing dmesg gives me == [ 8981.909640] usb 5-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 [ 8982.048197] usb 5-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 8982.048703] usb 5-4: New USB device found, idVendor=054c, idProduct=0243 [ 8982.048713] usb 5-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 8982.048720] usb 5-4: Product: Storage Media [ 8982.048725] usb 5-4: Manufacturer: Sony [ 8982.048730] usb 5-4: SerialNumber: 2A081006G5637 [ 8982.522872] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
