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).
