One of my users raised a problem where one of his USB memory sticks is detected in the IGEL disk utility but does not show up in Windows (it does for a second then disappears).

I‘m assuming that the storage is first mounted locally, then mapped and at last grabed by the USB Redirection which messes the usage up.
