pcmanfm does not accept/recognize anymore external devices or partitions

[Rafael Laguna]

This happened to me with Ubuntu too, a few years ago. It seems that Windows
(or my TV) don't care about permissions. The only solution I found was
remove and re-create the partition with Disks, as a normal user. Be sure to
reboot before creating it.
