Subject: [PATCH proxmox-backup 5/5] fix #7533: restore-daemon: last resort fallback to mount via ntfs-3g
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 17:25:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514152510.2273112-6-c.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260514152510.2273112-1-c.ebner@proxmox.com>
Some Windows NTFS partitions fail to mount with the current in-kernel
filesystem implementations. The same filesystems can however be
mounted using the user space ntfs-3g implementation.
Provide a last resort fallback if all other attempts fail to mount ai
disk or partition, trying to use the FUSE implementation of ntfs-3g.
Fixes: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7544

Tested this by a modified version where the in-kernel ntfs and ntfs3
were excluded from the supported fs list.
