This is happening on two AMD64 systems. I am often able to unmount manually (# umount /media/KINGSTON , for example). All of my flash drives have labels, and usually they mount on /media, when plugged in. However, not always, but often, when I have unmounted one of them, the name stays visible on Nautilus, and it is impossible to mount it again by plugging it in. Another time, I reorganized the partitions on a flash drive, into one partition. After this, I was unable to plug it in to mount it. Uniformly, the expected behavior is recovered after rebooting. I am using these drives to maintain git repositories of subdirectories, so I need to be able to access various drives on demand, by pluggint them in. I am not sure where to look for help. The USB guide, etc. didnt seem to help. Is there an init script that I can restart to recover the volume management function? Thank you for any ideas.
