I had a similar problem today when I tried to mount my portable hard
drives. The mount process would consume 100% cpu and could not be killed.
Further when I tried to give the shutdown/halt command the system would not
shut down either. The next time I stopped dbus before attempting to mount
again and it worked. However I don't think that this was causing the
problem since the next time I could mount even when dbus was running and I
can find no plausible explanation for why stopping dbus should help. Now it
seems to be working fine - so basically it was a weird problem that just
corrected itself after a couple of reboots.
A reboot was not enough unfortunately..
But I found the fix!
I just had to remove sda from the filter in one of the udev rules, that
now is:
KERNEL!="sd[b-z][0-9]", GOTO="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"
it's quite strange though because it never did it before, so I guess
that one update
changed its behaviour somehow..
