Hey guys,

I am new to Linux to go easy on me. I was trying to make Unison to work with my flash drive (the whole permission thing) and I added some extra lines under Volume tab --> mounting options (I think) of my sda4 partition (a vfat partition). Now, every time I try to mount the drive in Ubuntu by clicking on the icon, I get a message saying:

unable to mount to mount the volume. TODO: have to rethink extra options.

here is my fstab (not sure if something gets changed there when you play around with the extra options)

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda2
UUID=0b7e3937-3a28-4ead-ae35-a50dad15b7e5 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda4
UUID=F08C-BB92 /windows vfat utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
# /dev/sda3
UUID=b6379461-263e-456d-9b0f-34e91577ce58 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

Thank a bunch for the help.

OK I corrected the problem by making a dir in /media and then manually mounting the partition to the same name

sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/59.6 -t ntfs -o umask=0222

then going to properties, volume and deleting the lines added in the mount option under setting.
