Ubuntu 11.10.
When I
plug my external Drive Western Digital MyPassport (500Go NTFS) I named WD. I get the following error:
Unable to mount WD
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /media/WD
mount failed
I have no problem with the internal NTFS partitions that auto-mounts on startup (ntfs-config does that).
If I
plug the WD before I boot Ubuntu, upon login, it's recognized and I can access without no problem. But if I remove it using (Safely remove) and then replug it, I get the error above.
Here is my fstab:

Appearently it cannot be mounted because upon login, it finds that it is already mounted. Some sort of conflict.
Does anyone have a clue on how to solve this. Thanks.
