To my mind it would make sense that if any applications have open file handles on the MyDocs partition then it wouldn't be unmounted and exported as USB mass storage.
You can list the open files on that partition by entering the following command in an Xterm:
Code:
lsof +d /home/user/MyDocs/
If you get no output there are no open files, and my guess is incorrect.
Laptop recognises my other phone and it's SD card, but only the SD card of my N900. Tried searching for a workaround from an Ubuntu perspective, but suspect this may be an N900 issue.
I did not have this problem prior to PR1.3 - anyone have any ideas?
Mass storage mode is working fine for me on PR1.3 (flash method, not OTA).
@CraigRobbo: That's correct: no output, suggesting there are no open files. Does any USB activity work correctly for you? Things like Ovi Suite? I'm worried perhaps your N900's USB port is starting to fail.
After choosing mass storage this command should also give no output:
mount | grep MyDocs
For reference when I connect and select mass storage mode dmesg on the N900 shows:

Don't forget that if the tracker is scanning a mounted partition, then it can't be unmounted to allow the host PC to access it via usb. Always wait after a reboot until the tracker has finished running before attempting to usb mount your N900 from a host PC.

It normally works but well has habit to sometimes get in loop.
