Argl! After trying to mount a local (ntfs) partition without success I finally found this one. Could you pleaseprovide a pointer to some documentation? Any way to come around this limitation? JFTR: At first I got "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'data' by using nautilus which itself uses gnome-mount and therefor trying to debug with: % gnome-mount -vntd /dev/sdc1 gnome-mount 0.7 ** (gnome-mount:23972): DEBUG: Mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_0AA04FACA04F9CD7 ** (gnome-mount:23972): DEBUG: read default option 'locale=' from gconf strlist key /system/storage/default_options/ntfs-3g/mount_options ** (gnome-mount:23972): DEBUG: Mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_0AA04FACA04F9CD7 with mount_point='data', fstype='ntfs-3g', num_options=1 ** (gnome-mount:23972): DEBUG: option='locale=en_US.UTF-8' ** (gnome-mount:23972): WARNING **: Mount failed for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_0AA04FACA04F9CD7 org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.InvalidMountOption : The option 'locale=en_US.UTF-8' is not allowed for uid=1000 After removing "locale=" from the ntfs-3g mount-options (see below) by issuing (is this is a ntfs-3g or hal bug?): % gconf-editor /system/storage/default_options/ntfs-3g and retrying the gnome-mount I then got this: gnome-mount 0.7 ** (gnome-mount:24003): DEBUG: Mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_0AA04FACA04F9CD7 ** (gnome-mount:24003): DEBUG: Mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_0AA04FACA04F9CD7 with mount_point='data', fstype='ntfs-3g', num_options=0 ** (gnome-mount:24003): WARNING **: Mount failed for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_0AA04FACA04F9CD7 org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied : Refusing to mount device /dev/sdc1 for uid=1000.

Nice. But is there nonice way to mount the internal partitions without touching the fstab-file? Thanks for any help.
