Title:
  Safely removing external (usb) hdd's can cause a kernel panic or
  system freeze

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in Debian GNU/Linux:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  About 50% of the time, (every other attempt), when using 'Safely Remove' on a usb hdd a kernel panic occurs, though on some fresh boots it takes several attempts
  (am going to call a Kp because in addition to ALL activity stopping I get the flashing cap and numlock lights

  If I remove 'gnome-fallback-mount-helper' from the startup then Safely Remove works 100% of the time with no issue and properly.
  Noting that w/ the process removed I'm using a click mount in nautilus to mount the drive(s)
  Have tried w/ 3 usb drives, 2 with ext. power buttons, 1 without, the exact same is seen on all
  This behavior started up sometime in the last month or so, I believe well after the initial inclusion of the helper in g-s-d in late july
