I can confirm this bug. I found a problem with fstab after a fresh install of HH 8.04. A CD Rom drive was being mapped in fstab to /dev/sdb1 inappropriately.
To check and see if this is happening to you type: sudo gedit /etc/fstab If you see the last two lines looking like this: /dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 The solution is to comment out the line that begins /dev/sdb1 and change the mount point like so #/dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 Save fstab and reboot your computer. I have tested this on my own machine and the CDRom still works and USB drives will mount normally after the changes. Good luck and I hope this helps. -- USB storage fails to automount https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216483 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
