Package: devicekit-disks<br>Version: 004-1<br>Severity: normal<br><br>*** Please type your report below this line ***<br>My Kingmax USB thumbdrive stopped working after installing<br>devicekit-disks. Specifically, I was not able to mount the partition<br>
using pmount nor use fdisk to view the partition information on the<br>drive. As the previous user indicated the problem seems to be a conflict with<br>another daemon as subsequent execution of 'ls /dev/sd*' result in the appearance<br>
and disappearance of my partition /dev/sda1. Also I see repeated entries<br>with the following pattern in the kern log:<br>4.645457] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 7897087 512-byte hardware sectors: (4.04<br>GB/3.76 GiB<br>4.648662] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off<br>
