I'm going to jump in on this bug. I have an external hard-drive whose partitions show up on the desktop when I first log into my computer, but they disappear (seemingly) randomly. When they do disappear, they don't show up in mount, either.
This is the output from the command above: [babydoll 21] ~ > sudo blkid /dev/mapper/YOGI-YOGI_VAR: UUID="ae35b03c-bb7a-4960-84bd-189e5e8b3a97" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/mapper/YOGI-YOGI_SWAP: TYPE="swap" UUID="dc67aa7c-a4eb-44db-861b-c968a04c7418" /dev/mapper/YOGI-YOGI_ROOT: UUID="e9c10aa6-7e48-4ef3-ab01-98935beed3b7" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda1: UUID="7255c72c-fb68-46f9-b969-f0c4da16e2f1" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda2: LABEL="/" UUID="eaace60f-03f7-4f70-984e-08cb5979f5f0" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda3: LABEL="/home" UUID="1a8f99fd-2ea7-46b0-bfc6-a130dd0ff93e" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda5: TYPE="swap" /dev/sdb1: UUID="c3cb7f98-8ec3-4b15-a5fd-9c74d2739588" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" LABEL="mp3-m" /dev/sdb2: LABEL="mp3-ripped" UUID="18f007e4-5cdb-45ba-9124-718f5bcbf1fc" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sdb3: LABEL="mp3-a" UUID="11389f52-374e-4942-a1f1-c802ff24f2ef" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sdb4: LABEL="workspace" UUID="6dffd19a-1fde-42b2-99e5-9fac6d2b6696" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" This is my /etc/fstab: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/mapper/YOGI-YOGI_ROOT UUID=e9c10aa6-7e48-4ef3-ab01-98935beed3b7 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /dev/sda1 UUID=7255c72c-fb68-46f9-b969-f0c4da16e2f1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2 # /dev/sda3 UUID=1a8f99fd-2ea7-46b0-bfc6-a130dd0ff93e /home ext3 defaults 0 2 # /dev/mapper/YOGI-YOGI_VAR UUID=ae35b03c-bb7a-4960-84bd-189e5e8b3a97 /var ext3 defaults 0 2 # /dev/mapper/YOGI-YOGI_SWAP UUID=dc67aa7c-a4eb-44db-861b-c968a04c7418 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec 0 0 ( I am using LVM for my system hard drives. ) There is one other factor: All of the partitions that disappear are also shared through samba. This time around, the first indication that something was wrong was that I couldn't see the shares in nautilus / browsing network:///. Then I realized that they were just gone, all around. Since the information isn't written to fstab, I wasn't sure which mount points I needed to use to remount them. I got the shares back using sudo gnome-mount /dev/ (device listed in output, above)... but ended up with two icons for one of my volumes... still.. it was better than logging out.
