sorry for the necromancy, but this is the top result on Google search with no answer.
Rebooting the system seems to actually solve the problem. The above however didn't do anything.

I am going to close this thread because (a) the thread is more than two years old, abd (b) may or may not be related to your problem.
Please open a new thread detailing your problem. Define what is "Solved" by rebooting. Does the drive mount during a reboot? Tell us how you are trying to mount the drive, and provide us your /etc/fstab. You may want to share the the output of sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
If you still think it relevant. provide a link back to this thread.
Thanks
