FAT: Unrecognized mount option “usefree” or missing value
Recently I’ve got ‘FAT: Unrecognized mount option “usefree” or missing value’ message on my Ubuntu Gutsy when trying to mount some external USB disk. After googling: Bug #151025 in gnome-mount (Ubuntu)
To keep it short: “…Go into gconf-editor and navigate to /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options, and then remove the “usefree” option from the list. Exit gconf-editor, and try hotplugging your drive again. It works :-)”
