Title:
  Ubuntu destroys filesystem on attached USB harddrive!

Status in gnome-volume-manager:
  Invalid
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I already reported this bug # 68744
  But instead of only mounting it multiple times ubuntu edgy has also destroyed the FAT32 filesystem on it, so that all my data are lost.
  It started to mount the drive over and over again, then I shutdown ubuntu which resulted in "I/O buffer error on /dev/sdb1" and a hangup on shutdown, and then windows checked the filesystem and most of my files were gone.
  Other linux systems also show the "multiple mount" bug.
  Please set this to "critical", because destroying data just by plugging in an USB drive (I didn´t change any data on it) isn´t acceptable at all.
