There seems to be a bug in there somewhere, I think to do with the USB device randomly changing its id. I've had occasions where I've unplugged and replugged and it refuses to mount as it can't find the device. I've rebooted with the drive plugged in and had it unable to find it to mount. I've even had it disappear in the middle of being used without even unplugging it! Whether it's a config thing, or a kernel bug or a Mdk thing, I haven't had time to look.
