I've got the same issue with 9.10 RC after a clean install. I've got two internal HDDs. I formated and installed Ubuntu 9.10 RC on sda1 (with normal desktop 64bit CD, I checked the CD for errors first), and set sdb1 to mount on /home/terra (Not a good idea, I guess, but I'm no Linux expert).
When I first booted into 9.10 RC I could not find my HDD at all. I found /home/terra, but it was empty. Later I saw my HDD in the Disk Utillity app. I then tried to mount it to /media/t with the mount command (after creating /media/t), but go this error: mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /media/t busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /media/t So I edited fstab to automount /dev/sdb1 to /media/t and restarted the computer. After this Terra showed up in the Places area (in Nautilus and the Gnome panel), but clicking on it gives the error that started this bug report: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/t While writing this last sentence, though, I went back to Nautilus to find the exact error message again, but this time I actually got access to Terra instead of the error message! I don't know what will happen when I restart the computer. It's very late here, so I can't try that now. But even though it seems to be fixed for me now, I still though I should let you know, because this gave me quite the scare, and if I didn't have any Linux experience at all I would simply have assumed that Ubuntu had errased all my data, and I would most likely jumped right back to Windows. -- Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/audio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446606 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
