Comment 5 for bug 205081

Still the same problem - but I found out all the external HDs I wanted to mount had a entry in fstab, because if not, the option "locale=pt_PT.utf8" won't get passed to ntfs-3g and the drive will be mounted with the wrong character set. See bug #195420.
If I remove the fstab entry, I can now mount the drives under kd3, but with the wrong character set, which means that files and whole directories become invisible. :(
