Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: usb-creator
This report is a spinoff of Bug #445810, and addresses usb-creator as
shipped with Karmic.
usb-creator has a strange quirk in that when it starts up, it (re)mounts
all unmounted partitions on all connected USB drives---even those drives
on which the "Safely remove drive" operation has been performed, but are
still plugged into the USB bus. This is with icons and everything on the
desktop; this is clearly some sort of interaction with udev, similar to
what occurs when a USB drive is plugged in.
I am filing this report to request that this "mount everything" behavior
be removed. It is inappropriate for usb-creator to do this, not least
because it may then go on to perform destructive operations on some of
these newly-mounted filesystems!
** Affects: usb-creator (Ubuntu)
