Bug Description

This happens in both Dapper and Edgy. I have a Fuji FinePix F601Z. The camera appears to be recognized, but not mounted automatically, which makes use of gnome-volume-manager-gthumb more complicated than necessary. I have to explicitly mount the device and then run gThumb to get the photos of the camera.

Here's what happens in syslog when I attach and turn on the camera:

When I double-click on the disk in Nautilus and the icon appears on my desktop, the following is displayed in syslog:

Sep 30 15:16:26 localhost kernel: [17181890.724000] FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive!

I'm currently running Edgy, updated as of the date of this posting, but observed the same behaviour on Dapper.

I understand the issue a bit better now: The USB drive is detected, but not mounted, until I access it. I noticed this when I turned on the camera with Nautilus open. The disk appears immediately in places (the left panel), but I have to explicitly mount it.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I don't even have that camera anymore to test... Best to close this unless someone else can try it.
