I have USB external drives that I understand to be NTFS, that
automount, on Debian 6 (both before LTS, and, with LTS), so I think
that that might not be a problem.
I have just checked.
I have an HP USB external HDD, 500GB. It is NTFS, as shown in the
Debian 6 system Disk Utility.
It automounts on Debian 6LTS, and, it had been automounting on this
Debian 6 system, before the LTS.
So, I believe that it is not an issue to do with NTFS.
