I have a Maxtor 250 Gb OneTouch4 Mini drive which will work under
Windows or Linux. Problem is the last time I tried to use it I got the
following error message:

Cannot Mount Volume
Unable to mount the volume "OneTouch4 Mini" Details:
mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline,
G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /).

I looked in fstab and mtab but not sure what to look for and correct.
Any ideas?


Can you post a copy of /etc/fstab?


Here it is.

/etc/fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

/dev/sda2 /media/Jim,s\040HD ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0

The device shows uip in the devices list in a file browser, but still
gives the same errors when attempting to mount. I plugged it in to my
other Ubuntu box, also running Hardy and it mounted normally. Whatever
the problem is resides on this machine.
