Title:
  nautilus fails to reuse existing /media mount point

Status in udisks package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in udisks source package in Lucid:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  When selecting an NTFS partition listed in the "Places" menu, Nautilus
  attempts to mount the partition at /media/name, creating it if
  necessary and setting the owner to the current user. If the mount
  point was already created by Nautilus in Ubuntu 9.10, it will be owned
  by root. This will prohibit Nautilus in 10.04 from mounting the volume
  at this mount point, so it will create a new one at /media/name_ (with
  an underscore appended to the name) and mount the volume successfully.

  synec at mercury:~$ ll /media/
  total 44K
  drwx------ 2 root  root  4.0K 2010-04-26 21:11 26585CB3585C8389
  drwx------ 1 synec synec  20K 2010-04-17 10:39 26585CB3585C8389_

  While the volume is mounted successfully, programs that expect files
  to be at /media/name won't know that the path to the files has
  changed. An example of when this might be important: a collection of
  music files on an NTFS volume has been added to Rhythmbox's library.

  Reproduction steps:
  - install Ubuntu 9.10
  - mount an NTFS filesystem with Nautilus's "Places" feature
  - upgrade to 10.04
  - mount the same filesystem again, and notice that it doesn't get mounted in the same place

  Workaround: sudo rmdir /media/*
