[New-bugs-announce] [issue2466] os.path.ismount doesn't work for NTFS mounts

[Ross Burton]

New submission from Ross Burton <ross at burtonini.com>:

I'm not sure why this is, but ismount doesn't always work for me.  It
appears to fail on NTFS mounts.

$ mount
...
/dev/sda1 on /media/windows type ntfs (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=ross)
redbeard.local:/home on /media/home type nfs
(rw,user=ross,noatime,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,retry=1,nfsvers=3,posix,intr,addr=192.168.1.67)

$ python
Python 2.4.5 (#2, Mar 12 2008, 00:15:51) 
[GCC 4.2.3 (Debian 4.2.3-2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> ismount("/media/windows")
False
>>> ismount("/media/home")
True
