Andreas Kern’s post #26 solved the issue for me. After unchecking the option"Show in user interface" (in German: "In der Benutzerschnittstelle anzeigen") the volume was mounted without error.

The attached screenshot shows the options I had set on a volume. Below is the line that generated in /etc/fstab: LABEL=Spinner /mnt/Spinner auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0 It fails to mount when you try to mount it in the disk utility. An error dialogue opens with: Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sdg1: Command-line `mount "/mnt/Spinner"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdg1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so (udisks-error-quark, 0) dmesg | tail gives: [ 619.470006] EXT4-fs (sdg1): Unrecognized mount option "x-gvfs-show" or missing value I expect the bug isn't so much in the disk utility app itself as in the underlying mount tools that have probably been compiled without a required option, but the user experience is that it fails when using the disk utility, hence reporting it here for now. I suspect I can make this work a different way using prior knowledge, to make it mount in /media and using uhelper=udisks2 - will be trying that in a moment - but this seemed the logical, minimal way to proceed for the new utility and it failed.
