Public bug reported:

Attaching an USB drive to my laptop normally brings up an icon on the
desktop which allows me to access that drive. In case of an error while
mounting the drive, nothing happens at all - not even a notification of
the failure or why it failed. The system log shows following messages:

Nov 19 01:38:21 localhost kernel: [17288890.176000] usb 5-8: new high speed USB 
device using ehci_hcd and address 6
Nov 19 01:38:21 localhost kernel: [17288890.312000] usb 5-8: configuration #1 
chosen from 1 choice
Nov 19 01:38:21 localhost kernel: [17288890.312000] scsi3 : SCSI emulation for 
USB Mass Storage devices
Nov 19 01:38:32 localhost kernel: [17288901.036000] usb 5-8: USB disconnect, 
address 6
Nov 19 01:38:32 localhost kernel: [17288901.036000]  3:0:0:0: scsi: Device 
offlined - not ready after error recovery

It would be good practice to inform the user about the failure - in this
case a NTFS file system which was not cleanly shut down.
