Public bug reported:
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.
sy...@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/*
