=head2 "mount: unsupported filesystem type" with NTFS in RHEL E<ge> 7.2
In RHEL 7.2 we were able to add C<libguestfs-winsupport> to the base
RHEL distribution, but we had to disable the ability to use it for
opening and editing filesystems. It is only supported when used with
L<virt-v2v(1)>. If you try to use L<guestfish(1)> or L<guestmount(1)>
or some other programs on an NTFS filesystem, you will see the error:
mount: unsupported filesystem type
This is not a supported configuration, and it will not be made to work
in RHEL. Don't bother to open a bug about it, as it will be
immediately C<CLOSED -E<gt> WONTFIX>.
You may compile your own libguestfs, removing this restriction, but
that won't be endorsed or supported by Red Hat.
