"It doesn't work" is not a very comprehensive explanation of the error. What commands did you try? What was the output? Without knowing the above, my first suggestion would be to mount it somewhere outside the /media/ tree, since that is used for removable media and your mount may be interfering with the hotplug mounting software (or vice versa). >> Note that if this is a USB or similar device (firewire, eSATA), you'll >> probably need to disable automatic mounting of devices with the GNOME >> tools.
