    Hello,

    What does it mean when I get a mounting error message that says "only root can mount"?

    For a little background, I ran a live update on my A0A110 (16GB; Linpus) and it downloaded
    an update for NTFS-3G. I shutdown my A0A and rebooted with my WD Passport connected
    to the usb port. As soon as it finished booting up, I went to My Files section where I spotted
    this message. I've shutdown and rebooted a few times and still continue to get this message.
    I have tried connecting another drive that is only formatted in FAT32 and still continue this
    "only root can mount" message.

    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Regards,
    Yamzam
