Having installed it I got "Error connecting to the udisks daemon: Could not connect: No such file or directory" a few times, until it occurred to me to start dbus. This may be the first time I've ever done so. |

I cannot mount the drive using `sudo mount -v /dev/sdb1 /mnt/tmp`, but I am able to do so using `udisksctl`: |

$ sudo udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb1 |

Mounted /dev/sdb1 at /run/media/root/6D18-12B4. |

Unexpectedly I find 10MB of files on the device - the same size as the loopback device which previously claimed to be mounted (and 6MB less than the files I had intended to copy to it). |

No /dev/sdb1 has been created. |
