@claytondillard, please calm down.
You should be aware that the times in which you choose Linux for stability or
robustness are long gone (if ever they existed). Now you choose it for freedom,
for helping, for fixing things community-wise, or otherwise you are misguided.

This bug has been in existence for years. I just loaded up a new
install of Ubuntu 16.04 and ran into this. I also cannot use my DVD
drive because every time I put a disc in I get an error that the disk is
already mounted. I used dconf-editor and disabled the automount
features and rebooted.

Yep, as reported by others, upgrading to util-linux 2.25.2-4 in Ivan's
ppa fixed the issue in 14.04.4 splendidly. Therefore, since as of 3 days
ago 16.04 was giving me the same trouble, and Launchpad is showing util-
linux 2.26.2 as default in 16.04, there must be a regression
reintroducing this
"If it bothers you that much, run 15.10 or 16.04."
I tried both, Phillip, but the bug is still present. I couldn't conceive
of such a basic malfunction affecting the previous LTS, so I switched
back to 14.04, only to be shocked and horrified to discover that the bug
has been around this long.
@ Phillip Susi, if that's an indication that this bug won't be fixed in
Trusty then please change the status from Triaged to Won't fix.

Hmm, right, this was of course related to that utility instead of usb

I see now.. through the magic of dbus variants you can add optional
arguments without breaking abi.
Running util-linux 2.24.2-1, this timeout problem has been solved for
me. It correctly removes the existing partition table on a test disk,
creates a new one, and does not give the timeout error.
