Title:
  Removeable filesystems are not automatically mounted during boot.

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Opinion
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If a removable drive (such as a USB flash drive) is plugged in, it
  typically is automounted by Gnome. It is not automounted if the device
  is already plugged in during boot.

  Story:
  A user plugs in a flash drive and starts working. He gets on the plane, so he shuts down the system. Once the plane lands, the user boots up the system - the drive is no longer mounted. This violates the principle of least surprise. The user is forced to re-mount the drive through the disk utility or unplug and replug it (which can be a challenge depending on where the device is plugged in).
