I backup my system by exchanging the CD/DVD device for a second hard
drive, partitioned the same as my system hard drive.
I thought I would be organized, and created entries in /etc/fstab for
each of those second-hard-drive partitions; the first was NTFS. I, umm,
don't back up every day ;) and I had forgotted about those entries.
Whenever I inserted any removable device, the system saw it
as /dev/sdb1, looked in fstab, and tried to mount the device as NTFS.
When I commented out the offending lines in fstab I was able to mount
removable devices normally.
