mkinitcpio error

Hi guys , suddenly from some time I got this installing a new kernel:

/lib/initcpio/install/autodetect: line 17: filesystem:ntfs: command not found

my mkinitcpio.conf is the default one.
Any hints?

Re: mkinitcpio error

Do you use ntfs on any of your partitions?

Re: mkinitcpio error

You're installing a custom kernel? You probably don't have the ntfs-related modules compiled in.

the issue appears with a custom kernel and installing the default one.
module ntfs is present in my custom kernel

Re: mkinitcpio error

something is wrong (not fully clean) where the fstype is saved in partition.

What returns this command (this is what are around line 17)?

for blkdev in $(find /dev -type b | grep -v -e /dev/loop -e /dev/ram -e /dev/fd); do
     (eval $(/sbin/blkid -o udev -p "${blkdev}"); [ "${ID_FS_USAGE}" = "filesystem" ] && echo $ID_FS_TYPE)
done

in that case, execute this

for blkdev in $(find /dev -type b | grep -v -e /dev/loop -e /dev/ram -e /dev/fd); do
     /sbin/blkid -o udev -p "${blkdev}"
done
