Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager
Using both Gutsy and Feisty, When an eSATA drive is connected to the
system, in my case via an expresscard adapter, it is not handled in the
same manner as a Firewire or USB drive.
Scenario 1: where drive is connected before the machine is powered on
1. It is not mounted automatically. The user must go to the "Computer"
and click on the drive in order to mount it. This is inconsistent
behavior compared to Firewire or USB drives.
2. If the drive is FAT32, the user is asked to enter a password for
security reasons. If the drive is ext3, no password is required (I have
not tested an eSATA ext3 drive with Gutsy since I do not have one
available, but I did observe this with Feisty).
All connected eSATA drives should be mounted automatically at boot time.
Scenario 2 relates to plugging / unplugging a drive when the machine is
already booted. I think that should be a separate bug report.
