Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

I have a internal sata disk formatted with one single ext3 partition.

I click on the volume in Nautilus->Places and it mounts fine. However
after mounting I try to incorrectly change the mount options or path -
there is no way to correct it once the Properties->Volume window is
closed.

With the wrong mount options, attempting to mount shows error as
expected (although the error message isn't exactly helpful, but that's
another bug) - but the Properties menu option is no longer accessible
(at least I did not find it anywhere) and thus the volume can never be
mounted again.

The Properties window should validate the options and force the user to
correct the wrong ones or go back to the previous ones before closing /
applying them. That way this situation will not arise.
