Some extra info: I reproduced this bug just now and tried mounting the just-inserted external USB key manually with:
sudo mkdir foldername sudo mount /dev/sdg1 foldername but the mount command returned the error 'special device /dev/sdg1 does not exist'. The syslog showed that /dev/sdg1 had already been recognised by the system, however. -- udev delays mounting USB devices during heavy I/O https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/504113 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
