Title:
  won't mount / recognize ntfs partitions

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: util-linux

  mount returns code 21, that includes 4 = ~"internal mount bug" when
  trying to mount ntfs partitions; even though
  fsck/ntfsfix/gparted/chkdsk all say the partition is good; even
  update-grub won't recognize the windows installation, some kind of
  kernel incompatibility?

  All possible mount avenues -

  $ sudo mount -a

  $ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda7 /windows/E

  $ sudo mount -t ntfs -U <uuid> /windows/E

  $ sudo ntfs-3g [ <device> | -U <uuid> ] /windows/E

  even right=click -> mount from gparted

  plus naturally automount at startup

  Including, after commenting the fstab entries, trying to mount from
  nautilus; every time return code 21;

  as one of the flags involves write access to mtab, I cleared the
  /etc/mtab.fuselock file that seemed to have appeared at one stage,
  although no difference; as should be normal, root - owner - has write
  permissions, so no apparent reason for the flag
