No, it should test this early, and not use that whole file system at all
in this case.
Interestingly, I ran into the same issue yesterday, also with an NTFS
partition -- must be some recent change.
At any rate, this seems related to the automount changes, because as I
noted in my commit message deleting my mount server settings file caused
it to go away (there was an NTFS partition that had wound up in there.)
I can still mount the NTFS partition on its own, so if there is a
problem, it doesn't seem to be with this code then...
Definitely something someone should look into a bit deeper.
