Joe,

thanks for your answer.

How do I get the UUID of a volume? I've used the device name to get
the following output:

gnome-mount --no-ui --block --verbose --device /dev/ntfs/CesNt
gnome-mount 0.6
libhal-storage.c 1330 : INFO: called LIBHAL_FREE_DBUS_ERROR but
dbusError was not set.

Where's that 'locale=C' stored?

Thx,

Volker
