Hi Arun,

The filesystem type is VFAT.

I had just started running an update when I noticed the problem.
Unfortunately I did not check before starting the update, so I do not know
if the update may have caused this, or if it was already present before I
started the update.

Interestingly I do not have an entry in /etc/fstab to auto-mount the SD
card, yet it is auto-mounted. Are there any other scripts which auto-mount
removable media?

Is it possible that starting Nautilus auto-mounts external volumes?

I am thinking of 2 things:
1. Either the volume's name has changed, and some script is picking up the
mount point name from the volume's name
2. The script which auto-mounts the volume is corrupted ??
