You have been subscribed to a public bug:
If a removable drive (such as a USB flash drive) is plugged in, it
typically is automounted by Gnome. It is not automounted if the device
is already plugged in during boot.
Story:
A user plugs in a flash drive and starts working. He gets on the plane, so he
shuts down the system. Once the plane lands, the user boots up the system - the
drive is no longer mounted. This violates the principle of least surprise. The
user is forced to re-mount the drive through the disk utility or unplug and
replug it (which can be a challenge depending on where the device is plugged
in).
