It didn't prompt when you implicitly mounted it? When I click the
partition it did prompt me for my sudo password, and I have no problem
accessing the subdirectories.

Now when I run $mount I see the line:
/dev/sda2 on /media/OS type fuseblk
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096)

Sorry, I don't have any insights,
