Description Märt Bakhoff 2009-04-05 16:40:33 UTC

I have an 2.5" HDD in an external usb box with a ntfs partition. 

When I plug it in, I get a untitled popup: 
Cannot mount volume. Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'ird'. 

nautilus cannot open/mount the partition either, but it appears in the side pane. /var/log/messages and dmesg aren't telling anything. 

mount from command-line is working ok
# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/mnt0 

I am using: 
sys-fs/ntfs3g-2009.3.8  USE="hal -debug -suid"
gnome-base/gnome-mount-0.8-r1  USE="libnotify nautilus -debug"
gnome-base/gnome-volume-manager-2.24.1  USE="consolekit -automount -debug"
gnome-base/nautilus-2.24.2-r3  USE="X gnome -beagle -debug -doc -tracker -xmp"


Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 187384 [details]
logs from emerge --info, lshal, fdisk -l

Comment 2 Märt Bakhoff 2009-04-05 17:04:30 UTC

More notes: 
in emerge-lshal-fdisk.log lshal section
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_326842196841DC6B' 
is irrelevant (local hdd).

this mounting problem in not external hdd specific, usb thumbs don't work either. 

I am in plugdev group. 

Thank you for your time.

Got it. 

In gconf-editor: /system/storage/default_options/ntfs-3g 
mount options included "locale=", which is invalid. 
No idea why it was there in the first place. 
Removing it fixes the problem.

It's part of the system schemas installed by gnome-mount.  I'm guessing intltool is supposed to merge in your default locale there, but it's missing something.  I don't know enough about intltool to figure out what's missing...
