Hi Alejandro!

I've indeed checked the log and it seems pretty normal apart of the speed
issue. The device is detected a few seconds after plugging it in, but seems
to be completely mounted about 40 seconds later (after which the nautilus
navigator with the mounted drive is automatically shown). I think this will
be a storage capacity problem, as if I plug in any 1-2 Gb USB drive it gets
mounted a few seconds after. I've also tried plugging several >= 8 Gb USB
drives and it happens with all of them, so I guess it's "normal", but I'd
still like to know whether there's a way to enhace the speed of mounting.

I'm using Oracle Linux 6.3 and SRS 5.4 here.

Thanks for your help
