I have an external USB HD attached. The HD is partitioned into a Linux and a Windows (NTFS) partition.

When I switch on this HD, Beta2 does not recognise the Windows partition and comes up with an error message, "Mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd5, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In [sic] some cases useful useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so". This problem has not occurred in 10.3 or earlier versions. I haven't tried doing the "dmesg | tail or so" thingie.

PS Just had a look at dmesg | tail and found this:

ntf8 is no longer supported
use nls=utf8

This is one bug, that you should report on bugzilla. I think the automounter routine is trying to mount with a no longer supported option.


But as I type this, I repeatedly keep getting on my screen the normal menu(s) which come up when a USB device is plugged in - which I then have to Cancel, but it keeps coming back. Nice.

And this is another bug that you should report on bugzilla.
