Endeavor to check the locks on the drives are off as I've missed that
trick before...

Hi folks,
I have a bad feeling that something in the USB subsystem is corrupted
in my lab image, but just in case not...
I have a lab of 30 machines which all work perfectly except when one
tries to mount a USB pen drive. Sometimes it will work fine and mount
and other times it will not. When the drive fails to mount, it appears
in system profiler but not in Disk Utility; basically the machine
knows there's a USB device there but doesn't see that it's a storage
device. Re-starting the machine will usually cause the drive to mount
OK a few times but the problem comes back fairly swiftly.
This happens fairly consistently over 30 machines in one lab (1GHz
eMacs, 1.25GHz eMacs and G4 (PCI Graphics)) but not in another (which
has much the same hardware and software but uses a slightly different
image) and the make or capacity of the pen drives seems to make no
difference.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
TIA

"So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this
amazing thing, even built with some of your parts,
and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll
give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our
salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said,
'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they
said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got
through college yet.'"
