Greetings,

I have been a long user of Ubuntu and Linux. Ever since the most recent update-push on Thursday, I believe, my Windows Vista (NTFS) partition has not been mountable. Has anyone else has this issue? I really need to mount it and be able to access files on it.

A completely reboot/shutdown & restart did not fix the issue and I can not figure it out.

I also can not seem to access a removable drive (USB 2.0) that I used to be able to easily plug & play anymore either. This is all since the Thursday or Wednesday update last week with the newest kernel.

I'm just wondering if anyone experienced any other mounting or hardware-related issues (access).
