  doesn't mount in Hardy]

Bug description:
  My Sony Walkman NWZ-S618F (a USB mass storage device) worked fine in
  Gutsy. Under fully updated Hardy as of Mar 30, 2008, the walkman will
  no longer mount. No UI notification of failure. dmesg is attached. Let
  me know if there's other information I can provide.

  Expected: Device mounts as a USB mass storage device

  What Happened: Nothing. (Device started charging itself as if
  connected). Lots of notices (attached) on dmesg.

  SRU justification: Many large storage devices are not properly handled
  by hardy's desktop stack (automounting, gparted, etc.). As these
  become increasingly popular, this becomes more and more of a problem.

  The fix for this was applied upstream half a year ago, and in Ubuntu
  Intrepid 10 months ago. It was confirmed to fix the problem without
  introducing regressions. The fix was also confirmed to fix the problem
  in Hardy by manually applying the patch.
