Public bug reported:

This is a bit of an odd one.

I have an NTFS formatted partition on an IDE drive and FUSE works perfectly 
here. (/dev/sdb3)
I have an NTFS formatted partition on a SATA drive, and if it's not set to 
automount, I can mount it with either the mount command or by clicking on it in 
the file manager and it works perfectly. (/dev/sda1)

But...

If I add "/dev/sda1  /media/seagate   ntfs   defaults  0  0" in fstab to 
automount sda1 (the same line that works with sdb3):
* I get all kinds of errors in dmesg along the lines of "Buffer I/O". 
* If I click on it in the file manager I get "Only root can mount /dev/sda1 at 
/media/seagate". 
* Trying to mount with "mount /dev/sda1" gives a message like "Error. Could not 
get device lock on /dev/sda1" about 5 times.
* If I boot to the recovery prompt, I get an infinite scrolling screenfull of 
errors along the lines of "FUSE error. Can not mount file system at /dev/sda1 
[123456]"

fdisk -l does not show sda at all until I manually mount it (which I can only 
do by removing the fstab line and rebooting) after which it shows:
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1      182401  1465136001    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda4   *           1           1           0    0  Empty

My fstab looks line like: /dev/sda1
/media/seagate      ntfs         defaults                 0  0

I don't see any of these errors if I boot to Jaunty, and I've done a
complete chkdsk and clean shutdown in windows.
