USB drive opens nautilus in loops

[jhellen]

I have a harddisk case like this for my harddrive and it has worked nicely before with Ubuntu Breezy. Now with Dapper F4 it just keeps on mounting itself. It open nautilus every minute for me. It works but it is annoying. My USB-stick doesn't do this.

Can you please do the steps in http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices and just leave the debugging running for a few cycles?

Thanks!

Ah, your dmesg is full with errors like

[4296493.949000] FAT: Directory bread(block 39156) failed
[4296493.949000] 6:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device

and then you end up with the same device being re-discovered as sdb, sdc, etc.

I don't know if you are fixing this bug now but I still have the same problem even with the latest updates.

Is there still a problem with this?

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this linux-source-2.6.15 kernel bug to the new "linux" package. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Also, if you would be interested in testing the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release, it is available at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . Please let us know your results. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Hi jhellen,

Thanks for the update. Since you are the original bug repoter I'm marking this "Fix Released". Thanks.
