Why did the kernel automatically mount the stick ?
Usually mounts have to be made manually for this port.

With caddies, I'd add that things aren't improving at the other end of
the cable. My USB2 caddies have a small connector (I think they're
Mini B) on a 6ft flexible cable at the caddy end. If you hold the
cable a foot away from the caddy and move it side to side, the
miniplug is stable as a rock.
With the newer caddies, their connectors (3.0 Micro B, I believe)
are on a shorter, stiffer cable. Move the cable in the same way,
and the connector rocks from side to side, eventually generating
errors (or falling out).
Cheers,
David.
