I agree with you on the "mount" verbiage, but good luck getting that
changed. Mounting means that the kernel has established a connection
with the drive. Reading means it can get data from the drive. Sometimes
you cannot "read" a drive but it has mounted fine. Other times, like in
your case, you know a drive can be read, but there was an error in the
mounting process. Its a matter of semantics, but the term is even used
in Windows these days so it's difficult to get rid of.

The spaces, however, seem very strange and since their still around I'm
going to properly package this and hopefully someone will have a look
see.

Thanks for taking the time to help make Ubuntu better!
