Description of problem: When I insert my USB stick I get two desktop icons pop up. One is the correct USB Flash icon while the other one is a CDROM icon. I did not have this with FC5. Look at the properties I see that the disk is mounted under /media/disk and node is /dev/sdc1. On the other hand properties of the CDROM icon show location as /(media) and node as /dev/scd0. The /var/log/messages show: ============================================= Nov 13 14:51:10 compsci kernel: usb 5-8: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 Nov 13 14:51:10 compsci kernel: usb 5-8: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Nov 13 14:51:10 compsci kernel: scsi5 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: Vendor: SanDisk Model: U3 Cruzer Micro Rev: 2.17 Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: SCSI device sdc: 4001425 512-byte hdwr sectors (2049 MB) Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: sdc: Write Protect is off Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: sdc: assuming drive cache: write through Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: SCSI device sdc: 4001425 512-byte hdwr sectors (2049 MB) Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: sdc: Write Protect is off Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: sdc: assuming drive cache: write through Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: sdc: sdc1 Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdc Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: Vendor: SanDisk Model: U3 Cruzer Micro Rev: 2.17 Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 8x/40x writer xa/form2 cdda tray Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: sr 5:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 5 Nov 13 14:51:15 compsci kernel: cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!

This is just how the device works so the vendor can Autorun programs on Windows that installs the right driver software or some other "value add" IIRC (search the Interweb for details). See bug 208521 for details. Reassigning to kernel to make them add quirks to the USB storage driver to hide the optical drive LUN for this specific device. (In the same vein, let me mention that it would be nice if user space (e.g. HAL) could inject such quirks in the kernel - having quirks in the kernel source, such as drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h, is just not very good for turn around times etc. especially in the light of things like hal-info [1] landing in the distro soon.)

I am experiencing the same behavior too. 1 GB sSandisk cruzer USB key chain on FC6. kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 gnome-mount-0.5-2.fc6 hal-0.5.8.1-6.fc6 syslog output: Feb 19 20:17:59 slacker kernel: usb 5-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 Feb 19 20:17:59 slacker kernel: usb 5-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Feb 19 20:17:59 slacker kernel: scsi7 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Feb 19 20:18:04 slacker kernel: scsi 7:0:0:0: Direct-Access SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro 3.21 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 Feb 19 20:18:04 slacker kernel: SCSI device sdg: 1994385 512-byte hdwr sectors (1021 MB) Feb 19 20:18:04 slacker kernel: sdg: Write Protect is off Feb 19 20:18:04 slacker kernel: sdg: assuming drive cache: write through Feb 19 20:18:04 slacker kernel: SCSI device sdg: 1994385 512-byte hdwr sectors (1021 MB) Feb 19 20:18:04 slacker kernel: sdg: Write Protect is off Feb 19 20:18:04 slacker kernel: sdg: assuming drive cache: write through Feb 19 20:18:04 slacker kernel: sdg: sdg1 Feb 19 20:18:04 slacker kernel: sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdg Feb 19 20:18:04 slacker kernel: sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg6 type 0 Feb 19 20:18:04 slacker kernel: scsi 7:0:0:1: CD-ROM SanDisk U3 Cruzer Micro 3.21 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 Feb 19 20:18:04 slacker kernel: scsi 7:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg7 type 5 Feb 19 20:18:04 slacker kernel: sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 8x/40x writer xa/form2 cdda tray Feb 19 20:18:05 slacker kernel: cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!

(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora!
It is no longer an issue for me on Fedora 8 (all errata applied).
