 Unable to mount this device.
 Potential reasons include:

 Corrupt data on storage device

"/dev/sdk1" "/media/Lexar"' exited with
 non-zero exit status 32: mount: /mnt/Lexar: /dev/sdk1 already mounted
 or mount point busy.

 It's random and sometimes suddenly goes away.
 I've tried it with a variety of USB sticks. 
 I've had "mount point busy" come from both an open shell and a file
 manager that's sitting on the mount point before.  It can also block user 
 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 
having an open shell sitting at /mnt/Lexar/mystuff wouldn’t whack the other 
4.  :(

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

Best,
