Bug Description
Binary package hint: devicekit-disks
My usb flash drive (which is generally fine and mounts most of the time) fails to mount. This happens about once a week, the other times it mounts fine. It usually mounts successful after a reboot, so I think there is a software problem.

- usb flash drive fails to mount + usb flash drive fails to automount |
Hi, I have the same bug and I reported it here: https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ hal/+bug/ 442398 hal/fdi/ policy/ 10osvendor/ 20-storage- methods. fdi and restarting HAL service.
I tried this workaround: deleting /usr/share/
Doing that the USB disks/keys mounting works almost fine, but I continue having some problems:
- disks are mounted with a wrong label (for example my old USB disk is mounted with "}" label and I cannot rename it.
- if I look into disk properties of a mounted disk it says it cannot access to its properties and I confirm there are a lot of less options compared to Jaunty (I can provide you a screenshot if you want, just ask).
