When I plugged in my USB storage device it was recognized as a USB device but not recognized as a storage device, it was never assigned a device.
I saw messages like: [ 154.708000] usb 5-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 [ 154.852000] usb 5-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice But it was never assigned a device. I rebooted the machine and it now was recognized as a storage device, but not mounted, when attempting to mount it manually I did: sudo mkdir /media/sdb1 sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 mount: you must specify the filesystem type Then I did sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 and it mounted normally. I am a local user on my laptop, it's an IBM T43 -- EDGY RC, USB storage devices no longer mounted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67307 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
