Comment 12 for bug 377297

Thanks for the reply, I was wondering if this thread was dead.
The so called "fix" I applied, doesn't seem to work any longer, and I have 3 different computers, and 10 external drives, one now using ext3, the rest still ntfs, to play with. If you or anyone would like to use me as a means of gathering info, I am retired, and have plenty of time to try various things and provide the output results, if that would be of any help moving this along. All I would ask is that I be given instructions on how to undo things if they go wrong.
Looking in Synaptic, I see an installed package for libusb, but find nothing for usb-storage.
Also googling, I found another site which recommended executing modprobe -r ehci_hcd as a way to get usb drive to mount. I haven't tried that as I don't know how to restore back to normal if that wouldn't work. I couldn't find a package with that name in synaptic either.
Anyway, if I can be of any help please let me know.
Thanks
