cant mount ntfs formatted drive

[Thomas Schweikle]

if you have an ntfs formatted USB-stick it is not possible to mount this as user from thunar. The ntfs-formatted stick is shown, but clicking it to have it mounted only gives back "Error mounting /dev/sdb4 at /media/tps/ntfs wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb4, missing codepage or helper program, or other error."
Mounting it from a root shell works indeed: "mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt" mounts the filesystem and it is accessible.

within dmesg you'll find: "ntfs3(sdb4): It is recommened to use chkdsk. ntfs3(sdb4): volume is dirty and "force" flag is not set!"

Could we have checking the volume done automaticaly as with ext{2,3,4} and fat-filesystems?
