Additional data--as an experiment I set up a Debian VM in VirtualBox. Debian instantly sees the device as /dev/sdb. And once I disconnect it from Debian, Ubuntu can then see it and mount it. The problem seems to be Ubuntu-specific, and some action other operating systems take would appear to put it in a mode which can then be detected by udev. (I'm not developer, I'm just speculating.)
No developer has commented on this since April. Any chance of a fix? -- [Blackberry Curve 8310] Sometimes does not detect partition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/507510 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
