What does this report? $ sudo lsblk /dev/sdb1
Also, is there an entry referring to it already, possibly with noauto option? $ cat /etc/fstab I'm wondering if you are effected by the mirror side of the issue I was researching. In my case systemd is insisting on trying to mount non-existent hot-plug storage devices at boot-time. The external storage is connected via ExpressCard/SATA controller. At some point systemd added entries for the encrypted partitions, LVM VGs, and file-systems into its generator targets, and now at every boot waits for a long time waiting for those devices to appear. $ ls -l /var/run/systemd/generator/ So far I've not found out how to safely disable those generator targets, or how to prevent them being created in the first place. I wonder if your system has similar targets configured not to mount the file-system, or no targets at all? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1410012 Title: Does not detect hotplugged storage device Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I plug it in, it doesn't automatically mount, is not visible in nautilus.
