Daniel Richard G. from Bug #507309 : usb-creator has a strange quirk in that when it starts up, it (re)mounts all unmounted partitions on all connected USB drives---even those drives on which the "Safely remove drive" operation has been performed, but are still plugged into the USB bus. This is with icons and everything on the desktop; this is clearly some sort of interaction with udev, similar to what occurs when a USB drive is plugged in.

I am filing this report to request that this "mount everything" behavior be removed. It is inappropriate for usb-creator to do this, not least because it may then go on to perform destructive operations on some of these newly-mounted filesystems!
