Bug 398242

When plugging in an ntfs drive which mounts fine under opensuse 10.3, you are first presented with the usual detection of disk dialog then when clicking on the open folder option you get an error as below:

Error - Konqueror

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdf1
missing codepage or helper program, or other error in some cases
useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg |tail or so

Relevant output of DMESG:

When you click OK to this message you cannot see the files in konqueror and refreshing the window brings back the same message.

Typing mount reveals that nothing is in fact mounted and mounting the drive as root via mount /dev/sdf1 /home/username/directory mounts fine and all the data can be read.
