THIS IS NOT SPAM THE SUBSCRIBERS, BUT TO SUGGEST A TEMPORARY SOLUTION FOR THOSE WHO WANT THE ISSUE TO GO AWAY NOW: rename the folder in the root directory called "pictures" and remount and all is well.

So, basically, confirming this bug and also confirming that it is simply due to the presence of a folder titled "pictures". This seems like avoidable, surely a 500Gb USB mounted hard disk is not that difficult to distinguish from a 6-700MB CD mounted on a cd drive.

When renaming the folder "pictures" the disk is mounted properly next time.
