Thumb Drive can't mount anymore in Hardy

Well if this is you like me... don't despair. There is a bug on launchpad about this very issue. Bug #211760 in Ubuntu.

My symptoms were exactly the same. So I chose to use the following workaround

sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd

Someone Else mentioned Modifying the gconf-editor setting for /system/storage/default_options/vfat say that there's looked like:
[shortname=mixed,uid=,utf8,umask=007,exec,usefree]

Mine didn't match exactly so I decided not to play with it.
[shortname=mixed,uid=,utf8,umask=077,exec,flush]

Hope this helps. I remember seeing Falling Inferno today in IRC slightly frustrated hopefully she/he will see this post.

OMG... I just noticed something. When I re-add that ehci_hcd, by Nostromo N-52 re-enables. So that may be why this might not affect everyone.

I added it back by performing:

sudo modprobe ehci_hcd
