I was suffering from this, and it turned out to be bug #151025, or close to it. The mysterious "invalid mount option" error message that never revealed which option it complained about is gone now. I looked in GConf [Press Alt+F2 and type gconf-editor], and for FAT filesystems -- /system/storage/default_options/vfat -- the variable "mount_options" was set to:
[shortname=mixed,uid=,utf8,umask=007,exec,usefree] I removed all the options one by one until deleting 'usefree' made auto- mounting possible again. Was this a new setting in Hardy? -- USB Thumb Drive can't mount anymore in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
