Bug Description

Somehow, my Windows partition ended up being mounted in the wrong place with the wrong permissions. Presumely this is used for detecting the type of the partition:

  $ mount | tail -1
  /dev/sda1 on /tmp/disks-conf-sda1 type ntfs (rw)

this was correctable by:

  $ sudo umount /dev/sda1
  $ sudo pmount /media/xp
  $ mount | tail -1
  /dev/sda1 on /media/xp type ntfs (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,utf8,umask=000)

restoring the expected status.

It is very unlikely that this happened due to hal. I suspect the partition was picked up by a partitioning tool, disk-admin, or a similar program. Do you know how and when the partition ended up as being mounted there?

Nothing known to me in Ubutu has this mount path pattern, and no answer for three months, thus I close this now.

I will reopen once more information arrives.

Thank you!
