Hi Flocculant,

I don't think I am affected by this problem. I use USB 3 pendrives as 
well as connect SSDs via USB 3 very often.

1. I run Xubuntu + Lubuntu (both desktops in the same system) in a 
computer with only USB 2 ports. USB 3 pendrives are not remounting after 
unmounting with 'umount'.

2. I run several Ubuntu based systems in laptops and a NUC with USB 3 
ports. I have not noticed this problem. Please tell me how to reproduce 
this bug - I will certainly test your recipe to find out why I have not 
been affected (or maybe not noticed it).

Best regards
Nio
