I had the same error i had jest finished reformatting an external us true
gparted , because either hal or pmount was not recognising the flash drive and
mounting it, i tried "lsusb" command to see if the system was recognising it at
all
it was but it was telling me it was a 4 gig flash when it is actually a 2gig
fat16 partitioned flash drive ... i believe it was confusing this flash drive
with an older flash drive i use to use in jaunty before upgrading to karmic
koala , all this problems appeared after the installation of karmic true my
network...
to fix the issue i had to reinstall hal and pmount , but that wasn't enough i
had to recompile the kernel true
"sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r`" after that i tried "udevadm monitor"
to see if the usb was being recognised i tried plugging in and plugging out the
flash drive , it responded accordingly but it was still not being mounted
i look at "gconf-editor" to see if volumes where set to be displayed in
nautilus , they where so i went to gparted to see if it was detecting it , it
seemed to but what was unusual is that it was reporting an unknown format
,colored black, so i deleted the partition and reformatted it to fat16 to my
surprise it automounted, in disbelieve i unplugged and re-plugged in the flash
drive and everything was working!!!
i could finally write ,read, and see my flash drive ...
going a step further i fired up VirtualBox to see if it would recognised it ,
the flash drive was being recognised i mounted it and attempted to write and
read some files everything worked!!!
i unmounted the flash drive ,to return it to the host , when this error
came up...
but luckily after unplugging and re-plugging in the flashdrive was still being
recognised ...it automounted , problem now is that
gparted continues to not recognise the file system type ,it is still black, and
"lsusb" continues to recognise it as a 4gig flash drive but nautilus is
contradicting "lsusb" by telling me it is a 2 gig flash drive
despite all those draw backs from my solution my sytem continues to boot , i
can see my flash drive true nautilus and i can read and write files in to it
