I saw this once, with a portable hard drive. It happened when I had the
drive plugged in while booting, and unplugged it later. It didn't realize
that it was okay for the drive to be unplugged afterwards. I didn't check if
there is an existing bug report.
You may have forgotten to unmount the drive before disconnecting it.
That's not a good idea anyway!
