Binary package hint: hal-device-manager

1. Insert my pendrive Kingston USB.

2. In Nautilus, there appear two units: Kingston and Usbdisk. The second one has no files in it or has strange ones. The other one works perfect.

Can you please give some details as to the `strange' files in the apparent second volume?

If you open System->Administration->Device Manager and locate the USB drive there, does it show multiple volumes underneath it?

The strange files don't appear always. Moreover, the device doesn't always mount "double". If I look in the Device Manager, I see two elements:
* Volume (vfat)
* KINGSTON <-- this is my pendrive

The first one is mounted on /media/usbdisk and the second one on /media/kingston. But if I look in Discs, my pendrive has just one partition. I look in Windows XP and I find the same.
