Re: [Question #75394]: USB HDD's erratically unmount or will not mount

 

Question #75394 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/75394

    Status: Expired => Open

apinunt is still having a problem:
The bug still remains, but in the meantime I've discovered what I think produces the sdb, sdc, sdd, and sdd entries in /dev to be the 4 memory card slots on the front of the computer. 
I continue to only erratically be able to mount USB drives, and have had one of the drives unmount while moving a number of files to it, which appears to have corrupted the drive to the point of making it useless and I am now struggling with trying to determine how to recover the content safely. I have searched in vain for some documentation of how the ext3 file system resides on the disk in hopes that I could access my files without writing to the disk or making any changes which might cause further damage. No one appears to be able to answer any of my questions without using the word "maybe", leaving me indecisive as to what I might try.
Perhaps another 15 days of inactivity will clear the problem?
