[Bug 851055] Re: [Oneiric] 'Not Authorized' error given when mounting device

 

Same here.

I am suddenly no longer able to mount any of my partitions or external
drives / devices. I get the following error message: "Unable to mount
XYZ - Not authorized" (where XYZ is the name of the device or
partition).

I am able to mount those devices as root just fine, however.
