Looks like the device notifier may be broke...? How to fix?
or, i wonder if you are using 'old school' techniques to manually mount USB or CD/DVDs? you do know that that is all now automatic (on modern hardware, are you running an antique?)...just put it in and WAIT a SECOND or three and let it run its routines to detect, label, mount, and announce it is ready to work/play..
THEN, if you unplug/remove it, it _should_ detect that (maybe not in the next nanosecond) and run its routines to free the device/port, etc..and be ready for another plug-in..
And may leave you with a corrupted file system on your USB stick. Both on Linux and on Windows, it is very recommended to use the available eject facilities before you unplug an USB stick. It makes sure that the write cache has been written completely to the device. A CD can be removed without ejecting, of course, there is no write cache.
