USB drive and SD card mount failure.

[Samuel Thurston, III]

Hiya,

Since upgrading to 7.10, my USB drives and SD cards no longer automount.  On
connect, i get the message:

Cannot mount volume.
Unable to mount the volume
Details >>
mount: wong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing
codepage or helper progra, or other error.  In some cases useful info is
found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

So, dmesg says:

[682445.710000] sdb: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00
[682445.710000] sdb: assuming drive cache: write through

[682445.992000] FAT: Unrecognized mount option "usefree" or missing value


What seems to be the problem here, and how do i remedy it?  I can manually
mount the volumes however I cannot chown or chmod them effectively
afterwards, even though they appear to be mounted rw.

Thanks for any help,
Sam
