I've just done an online upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 - seemed to have gone well, but now I cannot access other drives (partitions) on my PC, also flash drives.

I get the following error:

Unable to mount location - Adding read ACL for uid 1000 to
media/malcolm failed: Operation not supported.

Content of mount -l:

/dev/sdb8 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)

sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

Here's some more system info

(fdisk)

$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 /dev/sdb8 / ext2 errors=remount-ro 0 1

Try creating/setting ownership on the path /media/malcolm

sudo mkdir -p /media/malcolm
sudo chown malcolm:malcolm /media/malcolm
