Yeah, that is probably it.
Don't see anything in /var/log/messages, but now that I power cycled,
I do get this popup from gnome-mount:
The volume 'Backup1' uses the ext4 file system which is not supported
by your system.
and did get this in ~/.xsession-errors:
** (gnome-mount:3574): WARNING **: Mount failed for
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_f1495ff4_e1da_4247_9574_8bb5edf2e0b7
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFilesystemType : Unknown file
system 'ext4'
