Hi Guys,
Probably nothing to do with this problem, but anyway:
If I have a HDD connected via a USB adaptor, I've found that after an
initial plugging and use, then safely removing it, going back to it,
in the same session, it may or may not be recognised. Doing a hard
reboot seems to clear what ever causes this. Simply logging out and
logging back in doesn't seem to work.

I've seen
this before. Sometimes it just helps to plug out the unit out and do
the following.
If you can, power it down, then connect it, power it back up.
If it works, it's like the unit. If it doesn't, then it's software.
Another thing you can try is to wait for a few mins, until the drive spins
up, plug it out, wait 10s plug in again.
It could be the drive is really slow to spin up.
Good luck, let us know what happens.

Using the same computer and the same two devices...
When I had TDE on CentOS6, it would auto-mount from USB once per device and
then need a full reboot before that device could be mounted again, no matter
what method I tried (which included all of Kate's).
On Ubuntu 14.04 I can auto-mount as many times as I like as long as I make
sure to right click on the device's desktop icon and select unmount before
unplugging the cable. By auto-mount I mean you have to wait for the pop-up
and select 'Open in [Konqueror?]'. If the pop-up doesn't pop-up, check the
task bar, it's usually there flashing. The other two pop-up options don't
work so well.
On openSUSE (before I tried CentOS) I also had issues, not as bad as CentOS,
but too long ago to remember specifics.
Long story short, it's most likely the OS, not TDE, but keep trying different
scenarios until you find one reliable for your box.
Best,
Michael

Thank you for your reply. I must admit I didn't wait and logging out
and re booting takes several seconds.
