I just wanted to mount an external USB HDD... this was what I got:

Kindly reproduce without proprietary modules loaded.

I knew this would be the response. :)

So why did you bother posting in the first place?
Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this.
Doctor: So don't do that!
Patient: I knew that's what you'd say!
Doctor: ... so why'd you waste my time?

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce. I just remounted the disk 6 times, via fstab and 'by hand'. Also rebooted with the thing attached and just plugged it into the running system. No chance ... always worked as expected.

Since you cannot reproduce your problem, we cannot help you. I strongly suspect the proprietary module based on general suspicion and paranoia. I recommend doing without it if possible.

Cheers,
