Maybe, considering libmount is fairly > low level. Any insights? Does libmount provide any run-time control over how it finds these things? For example, is there an environment variable or a configuration file that controls where it looks? If so, we might be able to customize it, or at least a user might be able to use it to tell libmount where to look. I don't know much about libmount currently, which is why I'm asking. -- Chris signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: Udisks uses ntfs instead of ntfs-3g
I've patched ntfs-3g to symlink mount.ntfs to mount.ntfs-3g and it works as expected. If the new ntfs-3g is installed as a system package, that is to say. Indeed, libmount seems to only look in /run/current-system/profile/sbin/mount.* and not in ~/.guix-profile/sbin/mount.*. Is this the behaviour we really want? Maybe, considering libmount is fairly low level. Any insights? To see that you can try the following command: --8<---cut here---start->8--- > sudo LIBMOUNT_DEBUG=all mount /dev/sda1 /mnt 5132: libmount: INIT: library debug mask: 0x [...] 5132: libmount: CXT: [0x2162690]: /run/current-system/profile/sbin/mount.ntfs ... not found [...] --8<---cut here---end--->8--- See https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/532 for more details. I'll submit a patch soon. -- Pierre Neidhardt signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: Udisks uses ntfs instead of ntfs-3g
I also noticed that Guix packaged version is 2.1.8 which is fairly old. Latest release is 2.7.6. I can submit a patch. -- Pierre Neidhardt signature.asc Description: PGP signature

The change would be fine by me, but perhaps it would make sense to discuss it with upstream Udisks people? Ludo’.
