Public bug reported:

After upgrading Ubuntu from Edgy to Feisty, the Windows NTFS partitions
failed to show up in the Desktop and in the "Disk Mounter".

Here is my configuration:
IBM T42 laptop with 3 partitions:
1) Gentoo linux 5GB (EXT2)
2) Windows XP 15GB (NTFS)
3) Windows Vista 15GB (NTFS)

External USB Drive with 3 partitions:
1) USB 240GB (NTFS)
2) Ubuntu linux (where my distro runs) 20GB (20GB)
3) Linux Swap 1GB (Linux Swap)

The 3 NTFS partitions showed up as mounted drives previously. After the
upgrade, they are STILL mounted, but do not appear on the desktop or
"Places" menu.

Here is my /etc/fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
#  -- This file has been automaticly generated by ntfs-config -- 
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
