no, it's not dolphin, it's the ubuntu automounter. when you plug in a drive and 
it is detected and you tell the system to mount it (all from the notification), 
it will mount it in /media/username/driveid

you guys have been giving this poor guy a hard time when he'd been reporting 
the plain facts as to what's happened.

One question you haven't asked, Is this an external drive (probably plugged in 
via USB)

If so, that would explain why it's not visible at boot and everything else.

P.S. this is why I hate the 'mount by UUID' approach and don't use it on my 
systems for internal drives.
