Public bug reported: I plug in USB Mas Storage Device and when I try to read files on another computer it fails. So I go back to my computer, recreate partition using fdisk, format vfat filesystem using mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdb1, then try to copy again, it doesn't help. I pluging and unpluging it few times and then, in Xterm some kernel dump appeared, so I do dmesg >~/panic and continue to work. On next replug, the whole system freeze. After reboot problems continues (can't copy files from that usb key), so I made some fdisk stuff again, and then, when I use sync before unplug, it finally works. So it seems like for some reason, this key was not synced before unplug. I unplig it always correctly (click onto desktop icon and choose in menu Unplug or something like that, i don't have english version of ubuntu). So, here comes that saved dmesg, you might find it usefull (it's too big so I place it on web):
