Recently, I have had to reboot in order to recover the function of automatic |
| 2 |
mounting of USB Flash drives, after some activity, such as mounting and |
| 3 |
umounting. This is happening on two AMD64 systems. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I am often able to unmount manually (# umount /media/KINGSTON , for |
| 6 |
example). All of my flash drives have labels, and usually they mount on |
| 7 |
/media, when plugged in. However, not always, but often, when I have |
| 8 |
unmounted one of them, the name stays visible on Nautilus, and it is |
| 9 |
impossible to mount it again by plugging it in. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Another time, I reorganized the partitions on a flash drive, into one |
| 12 |
partition. After this, I was unable to plug it in to mount it. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Uniformly, the expected behavior is recovered after rebooting. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I am using these drives to maintain git repositories of subdirectories, so I |
| 17 |
need to be able to access various drives on demand, by pluggint them in. I |
| 18 |
am not sure where to look for help. The USB guide, etc. didnt seem to |
| 19 |
help. Is there an init script that I can restart to recover the volume |
| 20 |
management function? |
| 21 |

Thank you for any ideas. |
