You can always setup a plain old /etc/fstab entry for your device. This way you can mount with whatever options you need. Beware that, unfortunately, LABEL= stuff in /etc/fstab is not supported by KDE media manager. > Unfortunately I've found this problem so late.

And into r1? r1 and later will only contain fixes for security and serious/grave bugs. This bug is not such. So now or never (wrt to etch).
