          Have you recently not unmounted the drive correctly, either power failure or a crash while writing to or reading from the drive? This can cause errors with the drive and while once mounted it functions normally the superblock may have errors causing it to not mount correctly.



          As Requist asked, check dmesg immediately after inserting you flash drive, you may see one of the last lines as "Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.".



          Check the device label in gparted then run



          sudo fsck /dev/xxx (swapping xxx for your device)



          You may get some details back about an invalid Superblock.



          Fixing this is dependent on the drive filesystem, is it ext4 or Fat32 etc?



          Here's a page on repairing an ext4 superblock



          If your drive is fat32 or other msdos type, then testdisk may help but be careful with this tool, with great power...



          sudo apt-get install testdisk
          sudo testdisk


          here is a post on using testdisk to repair a fat32 superblock issue. It links to this post, read both before starting.



          Hope it helps.

          • I was trying to figure out why a FAT32-formatted thumbdrive wasn't automounting in GNOME (the kernel was recognizing it just fine). When I set the label (I didn't look at it beforehand; I'm guessing that it was empty), it was immediately seen and mounted. Can you explain this behavior? I would assume that, if there wasn't a label, GNOME would just provide a placeholder in the UI. Do you have an opinion whether this was an underlying filesystem issue that was simply corrected by setting a label?

          • It should still mount the drive and give it a default 'disk1' type label if none are present. This should be in /media/[username]/disk1 etc. Check your automount config with dconf-editor, check org.gnome.desktop.media-handling for specific configurations on automounting and Nautilus actions.

          • For my situation, dmesg did not show any error message of mount failure, it seemed that there is no event of mounting. There is a piece of message: "sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] Spinning up disk..." then after that there were message indicating spinning ready. The last message is "[sdb] Attached SCSI disk", then the USB drive is not automounted. But with Disk, I was able to mount it.

          • For my above situation, maybe, there was some error message as they were in red color in dmesg: "[ 5925.011521] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page found [ 5925.011530] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through" after spinning ready.

          This is a bug described in Bug #1768010: usbmount does not work on Bionic. The solution, also given in Unix & Linux Stack Exchange, is the following:



          Edit the systemd-udevd configutation



          sudo systemctl edit systemd-udevd


          insert the following two lines:



          [Service]
          MountFlags=shared


          then run:



          sudo systemctl daemon-reload
          sudo service systemd-udevd --full-restart


          Note also that this workaround is not perfect: a delay of 40 seconds can be observed between the time an usb key is inserted an the time the auto-mount is fully executed.

          • For my above situation, maybe, there was some error message as they were in red color in dmesg: "[ 5925.011521] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page found [ 5925.011530] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through" after spinning ready. Before that there were also red messages: "[ 5920.917889] ses 0:0:0:1: Wrong diagnostic page; asked for 1 got 8 [ 5920.917899] ses 0:0:0:1: Failed to get diagnostic page 0x1 [ 5920.917906] ses 0:0:0:1: Failed to bind enclosure -19" after Spinning up disk...

          • I was trying to figure out why a FAT32-formatted thumbdrive wasn't automounting in GNOME (the kernel was recognizing it just fine). When I set the label (I didn't look at it beforehand; I'm guessing that it was empty), it was immediately seen and mounted. Can you explain this behavior? I would assume that, if there wasn't a label, GNOME would just provide a placeholder in the UI. Do you have an opinion whether this was an underlying filesystem issue that was simply corrected by setting a label?

          • It should still mount the drive and give it a default 'disk1' type label if none are present. This should be in /media/[username]/disk1 etc. Check your automount config with dconf-editor, check org.gnome.desktop.media-handling for specific configurations on automounting and Nautilus actions.

          • For my situation, dmesg did not show any error message of mount failure, it seemed that there is no event of mounting. There is a piece of message: "sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] Spinning up disk..." then after that there were message indicating spinning ready. The last message is "[sdb] Attached SCSI disk", then the USB drive is not automounted. But with Disk, I was able to mount it.

          This is a bug described in Bug #1768010: usbmount does not work on Bionic. The solution, also given in Unix & Linux Stack Exchange, is the following:



          Edit the systemd-udevd configutation



          sudo systemctl edit systemd-udevd


          insert the following two lines:



          [Service]
          MountFlags=shared


          then run:



          sudo systemctl daemon-reload
          sudo service systemd-udevd --full-restart


          Note also that this workaround is not perfect: a delay of 40 seconds can be observed between the time an usb key is inserted an the time the auto-mount is fully executed.
