[Bug 918813] [NEW] Removable storage device not detected as block device

Thu Jan 19 17:33:20 UTC 2012

Public bug reported:

I acquired a usb stick from Vodafone with 8 GB, ever since then I tried
to use the stick on Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot 32 Bits and 64 Bits. In both
cases I cannot see the device on Nautilus.

The syslog shows several lines like these:

I also tried the pen drive on several Microsoft systems and it worked
correctly.
