Bug Description
When a USB flash drive is connected to the computer, it is automatically mounted, but after unmounting it, it cannot be remounted (even though the icon is still present under Computer with the "Mount this volume" option available - which fails with an error if we try to use it) unless it is first physically unplugged and re-connected back.
After unmounting a usb flash drive, the icon is removed from the disk mounter applet - but this is inconsistent with other external usb devices.
However, when using my digital camera or mobile phone over usb, these can be remounted after unmounting via the use of either the disk-mounter applet OR the icon within "Computer"
Instead when unmounting a USB flash drive, the icon should be retained in the disk-mounter-applet and it should be able to be remounted like my digital camera or mobile phone.
Attached is a video demonstrating the inconsistent behaviour.

Thanks for your bug report. Which version of Ubuntu do you use? Do you still have the same problem?
