[Bug 58521] disk ends up mounted on /tmp/disks-conf-sda1

[Paul Sladen]

Public bug reported:

Somehow, my Windows partition ended up being mounted in the wrong place
with the wrong permissions.  Presumely this is used for detecting the
type of the partition:

  $ mount | tail -1
  /dev/sda1 on /tmp/disks-conf-sda1 type ntfs (rw)

this was correctable by:

  $ sudo umount /dev/sda1
  $ sudo pmount /media/xp
  $ mount | tail -1
  /dev/sda1 on /media/xp type ntfs (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,utf8,umask=000)

restoring the expected status.
