The bug discussion is here-

Now, follow what NoOp states in that discussion. Which is:  replace the 
default installation 9using Synaptic Package Manager) of 
udisks-1.0.1-ubuntu1 with the OLD version which is udisks-1.0.1-1build1 
and then LOCK it in the Synaptic Package Manager so that it is not 
upgraded. Install this same old version in Maverick (10.10); have a look 
at the archives for ubuntu-users on 25 September and look for a post 
from NoOp who tells me how to install this old version of udisks in 
Maverick (I only have record of what I sent out and not the complete 
thread).
