I think there are three causes here:
1. usbmount is left behind from earlier Ubuntu versions or manually installed.
Solution: remove the usbmount package. This is probably a Won't fix bug. If
the usbmount package was automatically installed in earlier Ubuntu versions, it
should have been

In a case such as Sergey's, where the problem is caused by a faulty vfat
rather than some weirdness on Ubuntu's side, formatting the disk may be
avoided by using fsck:
$ sudo fsck.vfat -r /dev/sdg1 # replace sdg1 with your usb drive
partition device file

Haven't seen too many new reports of the symptom. Perhaps this was fixed in
later upgrades. The workaround; removing usbmount using Synaptic, seems to
work when it does occur.

Same issue is happening with me, but only for one device so far. Was
working fine under 9.10, but since fresh install of 10.04 the device
will only mount read only.

Hi all,
I have the same problem with mounting vfat partitions after upgrading to
10.04. What I've notice the first mount of the vfat is rw and I can
write to the partition from the console. BUT...the moment I open

One of my usb-disks shows this problem - read-only after mouting. Others
works fine.
Messages in /var/log/syslog told about FS errors on this drive:

Oddly enough, I cannot repeat this bug. Just did a fresh install of
10.04 on a new SATA disk, and the Droid mounts just fine out of the box
(my previous install was on a PATA disk, same machine). Also works fine
after upgrading packages via Update Manager.

I have tried NTFS type usb file systems and the same problem occur in this case
with 9.04 Desktop 32 bit. On 10.04 Desktop 32 bit I'm the owner of all the

To remove USBMOUNT using Synaptic don't solve the problem overhere.

Ubuntu 10.04 - VFAT usb
Had the same problem with a fresh install of 10.04. Removing USBMOUNT
did not resolve for me. Disk Utility allowed mounting but only for read
only.. This problem even affected the optical drives. Have reinstalled
9.10 for now pending a resolution.

Thomas, you might try upgrading that 9.10 install to 10.04. I just did a
9.10 upgrade to 10.04 (over the internet) and the problem did not recur.

Peter,
I really appreciate your workaround. It worked just fine and essentially
fixes the problem which would also be affecting many of my friends once they
install 10.04. Thanks again for your response.
All the best,
