Title:
  Should not re-mount all connected drives on startup

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: usb-creator

  This report is a spinoff of Bug #445810, and addresses usb-creator as
  shipped with Karmic.

  usb-creator has a strange quirk in that when it starts up, it
  (re)mounts all unmounted partitions on all connected USB drives---even
  those drives on which the "Safely remove drive" operation has been
  performed, but are still plugged into the USB bus. This is with icons
  and everything on the desktop; this is clearly some sort of
  interaction with udev, similar to what occurs when a USB drive is
  plugged in.

  I am filing this report to request that this "mount everything"
  behavior be removed. It is inappropriate for usb-creator to do this,
  not least because it may then go on to perform destructive operations
  on some of these newly-mounted filesystems!
