Title:
USB Storage drive fails to mount
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Upon fresh installation of Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) Inserting a USB storage
device causes it to mount automatically.
After about 2 days and several reboots no USB storage devices can be
mounted.
The USB drive appears in the "Places" menu, but will not mount.
An error dialog states: "Invalid mount option"
I traced the problem to my /etc/fstab file:
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sdb1
UUID=4bffd628-caac-4c1b-b55c-806a039d19bc / ext3
relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sdb5
UUID=5c8e9f6a-b5ce-444a-bbe6-29325fa41d05 none swap sw
0 0
/dev/sdc1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/scd1 /media/cdrom2 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
I have a backup of my /etc/fstab file from the fresh installed state:
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sdb1
UUID=4bffd628-caac-4c1b-b55c-806a039d19bc / ext3
relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sdb5
UUID=5c8e9f6a-b5ce-444a-bbe6-29325fa41d05 none swap sw
0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/scd1 /media/cdrom2 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
Note:
The backed up fstab file does not contain the following line:
/dev/sdc1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
This line was not added by me, and I have not installed any new
packages or applications at or before the time of this problem.
Commenting or removing this line from the fstab file fixes the problem
and allows the USB drive to be mounted again.
I suspect that leaving the usb drive plugged in and then rebooting
caused the additional mounting instruction to be added to the fstab
file upon boot.
Workaround: Unmount and unplug any external usb drives BEFORE booting
or re-booting Ubuntu.
This exact issue has occurred with both my Laptop as well as my
Desktop both running the same Ubuntu release (8.04)
