Journal: USB stick does not register when inserted.

Description
I had a couple of times over the weekend when a working USB stick became 'un-registerable', it would not show itself at the bottom of the journal page.
I had the following error in the journal log
--
'DatabaseLockError: Unable to acquire database write lock on /media/LEXAR/.olpc.store/index'
--
On mounting the drive read/write and erasing the directory '.olpc.store' and unmounting/removing the USB stick it became useable again.
I think that this may be caused by unplugging a mounted USB stick without umounting.... probably a likely event with school children.

Also, I'm going to set severity of this to "Major," since if this is a problem, I'd call it major myself.

Unlikely that we have the ressources to fix this. And it looks like we do not even have a way to reproduce this. This has no effect on 0.84.
Sorry :/
Great bug. Some more info would be very helpful here. Could you help us further isolate to a single reproducible case? Some info that would be helpful:
If you can give us one series of steps that will *always* give this error, that will be much appreciated. Thanks for reporting.
