** Description changed: In Ubuntu Intrepid (sorry, I didn't check with Jaunty yet), if you insert a USB device not safely removed from windows, you get a very explicit dialog box where there is the description of the problem and the solution is provided. It tells you to use the option "force" to mount the device. Why not simply ask the user if he wants to force the mount in that same dialog box? Thousands of people would still not be able to do that in the terminal even if the procedure is shown in that dialog box. It would be sufficient to add two buttons to that dialog box: "Force" and "Cancel" and to warn the user of the chance of data losses, NOT because of Ubuntu mounting it, but because of unsafe removal in windows :P Sorry if it's a duplicate, I tried to search for similar ones, but didn't find one suitable. This is intended for the new: One Hundred Paper Cuts section. + + See also bug 344839, about improving the error message.
