         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
When inserting a usb-stick in my system running Dapper (kernel
2.6.15-18-386), it's mounted twice. This is also shown in Gnome twice.
It turns out the thing is considered to be both /dev/sda AND /dev/sdb.

eric at dapperdrake:~$ cat /proc/mounts | grep "/dev/sd"
/dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk vfat rw,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=cp437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed,quiet 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk-1 vfat rw,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=cp437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed,quiet 0 0

It should be either one of them, I suppose. I don't know if this is
necessarily a kernel-bug (maybe my hardware is weird, I have a shuttle
barebone), but I'm filing against linux-image now.
