From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal at milecki.pl>

NTFS filesystem is supported by multiple implementations. Try mounting
it using all known drivers. Trying just "ntfs" string was limiting
fstools to compatibility with the read-only upstream Linux driver.

This fixes:
daemon.err block: No "mount.ntfs" utility available
daemon.err block: mounting /dev/sda1 (ntfs) as /mnt/sda1 failed (25) - Not a tty

Above errors were appearing even with ntfs3 upstrea kernel driver or
ntfs-3g (user-space) installed.
