Public bug reported: A ntfs partition on and usb drive with rw folder/drive permissions can not be mounted rw. Note that the problem occurs on Ubuntu 11.10 on my dual core amd64x2, but not on my old laptop with Lubuntu 11.10 on single core PIII. Both system were updated on 20-Dec-2011. I have a bypass, I use Windows or Lubuntu, but I would like to get the recently introduced bug in Ubuntu solved. See the middle part of the next command line excerpt:
