Public bug reported:
Have three Ext3 partitions. Had 7.10 on each, used two different update
methods on two partitions to 8.04 (one from CD, other via Internet), and
fresh install of 8.04 on third.
Found that drives do not show up on dexktop on new install, but still
show up where updated fro 7.10. Had to locate missing drive under
Places/Removable Media, as they did not show up under /media either.
After mounting them from under Places.Removable Media, they show up
under /media. but the Ext3 drives only report size of folders as the
name. Cannot find way to set name under Ubuntu, because when I tried
under Properties, I got an error. IDE drives still being reported as
SCSI, and handled as removable, but under properties they are marked as
non-removable.
Drives do not show up under /dev at all, and have to use properties or
Go and history to determine which Ext3 partition is which, as all are
sized the same (and therefore have same label). Finally set labels
under Windows so that I can tell one from another.
I am confused by the change from having the drives on the desktop, to
having to mount each in turn in order to access them. The 7.10 updates
allow the drives to remain on the desktop if I reboot, but the new
install of 8.04 does not seem to retain the drives on the desktop when
rebooting.
