Sadly, I've still got the problem. I know *where* the problem is in my case, but no idea how to fix it :-( (See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/118292)
It comes down to vol_id not recognising a vfat partition: the device entry is created, and I can mount it by hand: $ sudo mount -o ro -t vfat /dev/sdg1 /mnt works fine. But, /sbin/vol_id shows: $ vol_id /dev/sdg1 /dev/sdg1: unknown volume type Of course, the system *can* recognise the partition properly if you use a different command: $ blkid /dev/sdg1 /dev/sdg1: LABEL="SEA_DISK" UUID="0000-0ED4" TYPE="vfat" So as 118292 says, it's a udev (vol_id) bug (possibly under Ubuntu). I am somewhat loath to do the workarounds suggested (especially rewriting vol_id as a shell script), but unless somebody decides to fix it "properly", I don't see much choice. I've been living with this bug since Feisty broke Edgy, and Gutsy is no better (yet :-), but it's a bit of a pain... -- Auto mount does not work for USB drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102097 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
