Sorry I'm a bit late on this, but just a note, in fstab, you should use the option iocharset=utf8, otherwise it's tough to write to the disk in Linux. Just reformatted my usbstick today in XP and was setting up automounting in Linux and encountered this error. Otherwise things seem fine. Regards, daid
