From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Maybe you unplugged the device before unmounting it leaving the filesystem in an odd state? Next time it fails to auto mount check /var/log/syslog for recent error clues.
In my very limited experience, when this happens the filesystem can (and will) still be mounted as read-only.
I always eject/safely remove my drives but I will check the syslog thank you so much for pointing that out
