Bug#338734: fstab doesn't mount NTFS partitions on Serial ATA drives.

[Matteo Frare Barutti <xenon@ngi.it>]

Package: linux-2.6
Version: all
Severity: normal

Hi all,

I found that Serial ATA drives with NTFS partitions present in /etc/fstab doesn't get mounted in bootstrap.
drives are correctly detected; if you manually mount partitions via terminal/console instead, they correctly get mounted;

Example:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/hda2       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/hda5       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hdb        /media/cdrom0   iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/sda1	/mnt/storage	ntfs	umask=0222,ro	0	0

/dev/sda1 doesn't get mounted.

then, if i write in a console:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/storage/ -t ntfs -r -o umask=0222
everything is ok.

Normal ATA drives with ntfs are correctly mounted on same system.

Tried with all stable kernel, same problem.
Tried with another system, same problem.

kernels >= 2.6 are affected with this issue, both stable and testing;
