 un-mounting

  as well (although I think root umount force
un-mounts?).

 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 To my knowledge there is nothing at that mount point.
 I can connect 5 usb sticks and they will all give the same error.  
 5 different sticks are almost guaranteed to have different mount points, so=
 =20
 having an open shell sitting at /mnt/Lexar/mystuff wouldn=E2=80=99t whack t=
 he other=20
 4.  :(

 Do you have access to another comp to test one of the sticks, so you have=20
 a =E2=80=98known good?=E2=80=99  You could then try re-installing whatever =
 provides UDisks2. =20
 After that file a bug with PCLOS so they can file an upstream bug.

 Best,

My thinking exactly.

I do have several computers in me wee lab. The sticks are all fine, mount and 
umount on all other computers, including another pclos 64 with the same 
kernels. At first I thought it was a kernel bug, wrong. 

I can only guess I'm installing something that messes it up. 

I reinstalled the OS into the test computer and incrementally installing 
packages until I find the culprit. 

I've noticed some odd behavior with some trinity packages such as 
trinity-tdeio-umountwrapper, it removes the "safely remove" from all menus 
related to removable drives.

I think I'm installing an incompatible packages. I've done it before. Honestly 
I'm my own worst enemy.

Thanks for the UDisks2 tip. I'll check into that.
