Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hal
This Rally2 (OCZ Technology ID 04d9:0024) flash drive is not mounted
automatically at boot time. It will be mounted correctly if it is
removed and inserted after the computer has finished booting. I use it
for daily automated backups of my system, so when the drive is not
mounted, the daily backup isn't done.
I have an older 64M stick (Ours Technology ID 0ea0:6803) that is
correctly automounted at boot time. If both are present at boot time,
both are automounted. If the 64M is present alone at boot time, it is
automounted correctly. Both have one ext3 partition (with a label) that
was checked with e2fsck.
I have tested on Jaunty Live CD to ensure no settings interference using Ubuntu
amd64 desktop 9.04 with hal version 0.5.12~rc1+git20090403-0ubuntu1.
Linux ubuntu 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:58:03 UTC 2009
x86_64 GNU/Linux
Ubuntu 2.6.28-11.42-generic
Pre-requisites to reproduce
==============================
1) Ubuntu 9.04 running Live CD with all current updates
2) Format a test flash drive with one ext3 partition with a label. Preferably
an OCZ Rally2
3) Add some files on the test flash drive
4) Add the "Disk Mounter" applet to the top edge panel for visual notification
(optional)
Steps to reproduce
==================
1) Remove any USB Mass storage device (flash drives, camera, mp3 player,
etc...) from PC case or USB hub
2) Insert the test flash drive, and only the test flash drive
3) Restart the computer
4) Observe that that there is no change on the Disk Mounter or no new mount
point in /media
5) Remove and insert the test flash drive
6) Observe that that there is a new disk icon on the Disk Mounter or a new
mount point in /media
7) Verify you can display the list of files on the test flash drive
Workaround
==========
Insert a second USB Flash drive (may have to be of a different brand or size).
Restart computer, both flash drives are automounted.
