[Bug 435192] Re: Automatic mounting of read only ntfs partition on usb device fails

[Nara Huang]

I got same error in Precise, system tries to mount write-protect SDHC card with NTFS partition.
But if I mount it in read-only mode manually, it can be mounted.

Title:
  Automatic mounting of read only ntfs partition on usb device fails

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Mounting of read only NTFS filesystem gives a following error popup:
  Cannot mount volume.
  Unable to mount the volume '<Volume name>'.
  Details:
  Error opening '/dev/sdb2': Read-only file system
  Failed to mount '/dev/sdb2': Read-only file system

  I believe this should be mounted as read-only instead of an error
  message.

  Mounting by hand with the "-o ro" argument works as expected.
