[Bug 264789] Re: USB Hard Drive Not Accessible, vol_id hangs

[Malcolm Lalkaka]

This bug does not only affect USB hard drives larger than 80 GB. I have
a Nokia 5200 cell phone with a 1 GB SD card in it that also suffers from
this problem when connect the phone as a USB mass storage device. I am
running Ubuntu 8.10, Intrepid Ibex (kernel version 2.6.27-11-generic).
This worked on older versions of Ubuntu.

Changing the udev rule as specified above did not fix the problem for
me. Furthermore, by looking at other people's comments, it seems that
changing that udev rule just masks a larger problem, and causes more
problems for other hardware.

This bug is in the upstream kernel, meaning it is not specific to the
Ubuntu distribution; I believe Fedora, for example, has been having this
problem too. The latest version of Debian, version 5.0, may not have
this problem because it contains kernel version 2.6.28.
