[Bug 1280881] Re: Does not detect hotplugged storage device (WD Elements 1TB)

[Martin Pitt]

Indeed it seems that there is no file system on that partition. Can you
please attach the drive and copy&paste the output of

  sudo blkid -p /dev/sdb1

?

Title:
  Does not detect hotplugged storage device (WD Elements 1TB)

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My WD Elements 1TB drive does not automatically mount when connected,
  although I can mount it manually with 'mount'.

  Some things I have noticed:

  1. While the device /dev/sdb1 (for the only partition on the drive) is created, it is given permissions 600 and belongs to group root, whereas for other drives the device is given permissions 660 and belongs to group disk.
  2. The usual symlinks to the device are not created in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ or /dev/disk/by-label/.
  3. This problem appeared with the out-of-the-box partition table; I have blanked the first 100MB of the disk with dd, recreated the partition table and reformatted, but it still happens.
  4. 'udevadm info /dev/sdb1' gives very perfunctory output for this drive, compared to the copious output for other drives.
  5. 'udisksctl info -b /dev/sdb1' responds 'Error looking up object for device /dev/sdb1'.
