Have you tried to simulate the problem? You should try with various partition types: FAT, NTFS, XFS,... First you try to mount them on a top-level directory that is *not* one of the usual /etc /bin /usr /var ... but something else like /windows /mydata /thisisatest ... Then you try to mount the same partition on /media/windows /media/mydata /media/thisisatest Ramon Rocha claims that the first approach won't work, and the second will work. It is unfortunate that he did not provide a link to the forum topic where he found the solution. -- Amedee -- Installer couldn't mount NTFS partitions. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32178 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
