I have an annoying problem. On my laptop all of my USB memory devices stopped working. They all worked fine until few days ago, I don't remember doing anything to affect it myself. Until that day I used Ubuntu 12.04. I thought maybe I could fix the problem by upgrading Ubuntu, so I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10, but the problem was still there, and I finally upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04, but it didn't fix the problem.

When I insert a USB memory stick, this is the message I get:

Unable to mount volume (NAME OF THE DEVICE). Device /dev/sdb1 is already mounted at `/media/usb0'. 

My phone and mouse work fine.

I can see what's on the USB stick, but I can't delete it or write or paste anything new since the only available options are Copy, Eject and Properties.

I'm so bad with the terminal, usually when I have some problem I just reinstall the OS, but I can't do it now since I have some personal files that I don't want to lose.

I have a similar problem yours. I have devices set up in /etc/fstab I think you might as well but you have problems with the permissions. Do this in terminal

sudo blkid && sudo gedit /etc/fstab

without quotes look through the file change permissions to defaults for your usb device that should help with accessing read and write. Here http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html you should be able to learn a bit more on fstab. I don't think it will help with the error popping up though.
