I've got the same problem on one of my PCs:- nautilus is unaware of me plugging in any of my USB drives. I did a dist-upgrade today and it's still broken (even after a reboot). My NFS mounts behave oddly too. I have two defined:
htpc:/mnt/xfs /media/htpc.xfs nfs user,users,noauto,nolock 0 0 htpc:/home/tony /media/htpc.home nfs user,users,noauto,nolock 0 0 (FWIW they're both ext4 now, one of them is called xfs for historic reasons). When I start my desktop htpc.xfs gets automatically mounted even though I don't want it to be. I also get spurious removal/adding events reported by gvfs-mount -oi for htpc.home when I do any action with a USB drive. I'm attaching some logs from gvfs-mount: startup.txt: -li just after starting up insert.txt: -oi while I insert a USB drive pmount.txt: -oi while I pmount /dev/sdb1 pumount.txt: -oi while I pumount /dev/sdb1 remove.txt: -oi while I remove the USB drive -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk
