Hi Christopher,

Hmm..., I'm afraid this might not be the best solution. The disk isn't
formatted as ext2 (as evidenced by the fuseblk in her /etc/mtab). And if
Rosalia adds the disk to her /etc/fstab, she will have warning messages
everytime she turns the computer on and the disk isn't there, as well as
some headaches to unmount it everytime, as it seems she isn't very familiar
with these things.

My suggestion is that, since Ubuntu can handle this automatically, and it's
already doing so, let's leave it taking care of the disk. It's possible
nonetheless to mount and unmount it just using the desktop interface
(right-click on the icon, etc).

All the best!

Anderson
