This bug does not only affect USB hard drives larger than 80 GB. I have a Nokia 5200 cell phone with a 1 GB SD card in it that also suffers from this problem when connect the phone as a USB mass storage device. I am running Ubuntu 8.10, Intrepid Ibex (kernel version 2.6.27-11-generic). This worked on older versions of Ubuntu.
Changing the udev rule as specified above did not fix the problem for me. Furthermore, by looking at other people's comments, it seems that changing that udev rule just masks a larger problem, and causes more problems for other hardware. This bug is in the upstream kernel, meaning it is not specific to the Ubuntu distribution; I believe Fedora, for example, has been having this problem too. The latest version of Debian, version 5.0, may not have this problem because it contains kernel version 2.6.28. -- USB Hard Drive Not Accessible, vol_id hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264789 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
