Bug Description

I created a link to a folder on my NTFS partition, when the partition is unmounted (usually when the computer first starts) the link is reported as broken. When you click the link it gives you the option to delete the link.

However if I remount the partition the link works perfectly. It would be nice if nautilus was smart enough to be able to remount the partition automagically when I click on the link. Or give the option to remount, or at the very least give a message that you need to remount.
