Bug Description
When inserting a USB mass storage device into my computer, Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon (to which I just upgrade to from 17) freezes for a couple seconds. It does not occur every time but when it does, the desktop ceases to be interactive for a few seconds.
I am able to reproduce it by inserting a USB mass storage device while doing something on my desktop.

In my experience it's just a general problem with Linux and USB. I often experience freezes, hangs or even crashes when doing heavy operations with a USB device (copying big files or many small files, mounting a media that has many files on it).
Probably not entirely a Mint problem, but it is true it's getting worse with this release (17.1 64bits).
