I had the same problem with gnome 15 so I switched to kubuntu which I
don't care for but at least it doesn't destroy every usb stick I insert.
Kubuntu  does not have this problem!.

  Today I installed ubuntu 14 lts and it just destroyed a perfectly good
usb stick.  Let me know if you solve this problem as I can't try ubuntu
every so often to see if it is fixed. I will just have to stick with
kubuntu.

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.
