The issue is an Eisenbug ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenbug ). In this moment my disk has been mounted perfectly and automatically (both partitions). The messages are:

I checked the dconf variables as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB but it's all correctly set. I can mount the disk by hand: % sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt % mount | grep mnt /dev/sdc1 on /mnt type vfat (rw) ...and it works ok. Add: using from command line udisks works, too: (0)samsung-romano:~% udisks --mount /dev/sdc1 Mounted /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdc1 at /media/PENDRIVE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1241811/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
