Affects: gnome-volume-manager (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Note: I am using Dapper.

I have an external USB hard drive. This hard drive has its own power
switch and power supply. There are two partitions on this drive, one
FAT32 and one NTFS. When I want to turn off this drive, I right-click on
one of the partitions shown in the "computer:///" in Nautilus and click
"Eject" (since "Unmount Volume" is not in that menu anymore. Then I turn
off the drive's power.

When I turn the drive back on, it is not re-detected or re-mounted. In
fact, the drive is not re-detected or re-mounted when I unplug it from
my USB port and then plug it back in. There seems to be nothing short of
rebooting that will cause GNOME to remount the drive.
