Hi Rajesh,
Try this, do the steps as follows.
1)Add this line "blacklist usb_storage" to the end
of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
2)Add this line "modprobe -r usb_storage" before exit 0 in /etc/rc.local
Now restart your system.
To Mount USB device use the following command,
$sudo modprobe usb_storage
To Unmount the USB device, use "safely remove drive" by right click on the
device, then run the below command.
$sudo rmmod usb_storage
Hope this will be helpful for you!!
Regards,
