usb drive is not recognized

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

Attaching an Nokia phone via USB as mass storage device results in the partitions not being recognized:

cfdisk also reports "free space". linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic doesn't expose this problem

Does installing gMobileMedia help?

> Does installing gMobileMedia help?

a) why would that help (it's a VFAT filesystem!)
b) it used to work with the old kernel

Hi Ralf,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 530049

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
