After more searching I have found solution in Bug #571038 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/571038
Package that causes troubles - udisks Symptoms: # gvfs-mount -l (gvfs-mount:7200): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: invoking IsSupported() failed for remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.Private.GduVolumeMonitor: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildSignaled: Process /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor received signal 6 #gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor libgdu:ERROR:gdu-pool.c:2369:device_recurse: assertion failed: (depth < 100) Problem: Problem is explained in linked bug by Mikhail Titov, comment #28 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/571038/comments/28 Cause of the problem is somehow "broken" partition table that udisks cannot parse properly. Udisks reads partition type 5 instead of real partition type and this leads to recursion. Solution: What solves the problem is patch from Mikhail, all steps explained in comment #46 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/571038/comments/46 Bug report was submitted to udisks, not solved since current version is 2.0.* and Ubuntu is using version 1.0.4 Would you, Ubuntu guys, make patched version of udisks (using Mikhail's patch) available through your repositories? Many "automount not working" bugs as well as some other bugs like palimpsest might be influenced by this bug. ** Package changed: gvfs (Ubuntu) => udisks (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: udisks (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1093901 Title: Does not automount hotplugged storage device - no USB, no CD/DVD Status in “udisks” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have fresh install of Ubuntu Precise on new disk and automount doesn't work on any USB storage device nor on CD/DVD. The only possibility that "mounts" disk "automatically" is opening and closing usb-creator-gtk. Then disk is available (and mounted) in Nautilus. USB disk disappears from Nautilus after unmounting it using click to "open" button next to disk name in Nautilus. Using trick with usb-creator-gtk dosn't help everytime - e.g. Garmin Oregon 550 normally connects as 2 USB disks - main device + inserted sd card. However, usb-creator-gtk mounts only sd card. I am able to mount disks manually. I had the same behaviour on the same computer with my old installation (originally Ubuntu 5.10 or 6.06 with regular upgrades to Precise) - originally everything was working properly, problem with automounting has appeared probably sometimes between July and September (I don't remember exactly since I have attributed this to me messing up somehow my installation). If you need any additional info, I can provide it from my current and also from old installation.
