I backup my system by exchanging the CD/DVD device for a second hard drive, partitioned the same as my system hard drive. I thought I would be organized, and created entries in /etc/fstab for each of those second-hard-drive partitions; the first was NTFS. I, umm, don't back up every day ;) and I had forgotted about those entries. Whenever I inserted any removable device, the system saw it as /dev/sdb1, looked in fstab, and tried to mount the device as NTFS. When I commented out the offending lines in fstab I was able to mount removable devices normally.
