Can’t Mount Drive in Ubuntu Linux 8.10. Cannot mount volume. Unable to mount the volume.

After a power outage it seems something got screwed up with my drive mounting.
I got this error when I decided to access my 500gig drive on my ubuntu linux desktop. A quick google and I found the solution.
Type this into the terminal:
codytaylor@desktop:~$ gconf-editor
Looks like a linux regedit a little eh? Scary.
Go to System -> Storage -> drives.
This will show you the value of the mount point. Change it to only one word without any slashes.
Thats it. For me it put it in as /media/disk-4 but it showed up properly in all the menus. I wish it would just auto mount so I don’t have to reconfigure sharing every time this happens.
