"Invalid mount option"

[Bill Moseley <moseley hank org>]

I'm not sure if this is a gnome issue or not, so pointers welcome.


I'm running Ubuntu Hardy.  I used to be able to plug in my usb flash
and have it automatically mount.  How it did that I was never sure.
But it worked.

Today, when I plug it in I get a pop-up window:

    Cannot mount volume.
    Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume


Can someone explain the process that happens when I plug in the flash
drive?  What process is showing me that pop-up message?  Network
manager?

Is there any place where it says *what* the invalid option was?  Feels
like I'm using Windows when I get an error message that doesn't tell
me what the problem really is. ;)

Where can I find what mount options it was trying to use?


syslog only shows:
