i tried the usb drive about 10 times before reporting the bug, with no
success. after running the "ubuntu-bug storage" program and reporting
the bug, the usb drive started automounting correctly
on another machine, the drive wouldn't automount until i ran
ubuntu-bug. in that case, the drive automounted while the bug program
was running.
in other words, i think the "ubuntu-bug storage" program somehow
"fixes" things. i assume the fix is temporary, but still - it should
be a clue
