<DIV>There are lots of possible causes for this:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> - You don't have ntfs-3g installed</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> - /dev/sda isn't a filesystem (maybe /dev/sda1?)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> - The filesystem type really is some unknown new thing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(The last one is least likely)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Try running the 'file' or 'vfs-type' command on the filesystem, or run</DIV>
<DIV>'virt-filesystems --all --long' on the disk and see what it says.</DIV>
