[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#609201: automatically mount ntfs usb disk in gnome

[Frederic Van Espen]

I was able to fix this. Apparently the installer added a line to 
/etc/fstab which I had not noticed:

/dev/sdb1       /media/usb0     auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

I assume that this was the usb flash drive connected to my laptop during 
the installation. This was necessary to include some firmware files for 
my wireless card.

Removing the line above from /etc/fstab resolved the issue for me. 
Plugging in an external usb drive automatically mounts now.

Hope this helps someone else out.

Cheers,

Frederic
