I'm using the latest factory. I don't recall whether I used a usb drive on beta 2, but can definitely say beta 1 worked fine. Here's the problem: when I first plug in a usb drive, the automount window pops up asking whether I want to open the device and such. When I select the option to open the device, I get the message:

mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /media/CRUZER busy 

The same message shows up when I try to mount it by clicking on the icon for the device in sysinfo. The corresponding folder in /media is not created and any attempt to mount it manually in a different location returns a similar error.


Fdisk -l returns

The automounter takes a vacation after the first device. Any other usb drives attached during this time is recognized by dmesg and fdisk, but doesn't get mounted. The only way I've been able to use the devices is by running dmsetup remove_all. I can mount manually afterwards, but sysinfo and kde cannot find the device.
