I'm trying to copy across some data via USB disks using Krusader and Unassigned Devices. Unfortunately, when I click the mount button it's wheels spin and nothing happens.

 

It's bewildering. Any thoughts appreciated.

You should look in syslog, the error while mounting should be logged there 

If not sure, post diagnostics

Thanks, I'm a newbie, was not aware of the logging or diagnostics. Any advice on changing the mount point?

For future googleers with the same problem, the solution was to rename the mount point to something random which 'Unassigned Devices' allows you to do with a single click on the mount point name situated just under the disk name.

Thank you, I had exactly the same issue, just with the added bonus, that "Unassigned Devices" mounted one of my two disks correctly, but after trying to connect the second one, just e big "reboot" showed up, instead of "mount" and I could not change any relevant settings. 

I had ages to figure out, that the issue was, that the system tried to use the same mount point for both devices...

So I had to unmount the working one, rename the second one to a different mountpoint, which I was not able to do before, then remount both. Tadaaaaa...
