I have Ubuntu 12.04 desktop, and my newly external drive(ext4) connected to the computer through eSATA interface, is not automatically mounted when I turn it on. Manual mounting works ok. Would be nice to have it automatically mounted when turned on! I am planning to install the latest desktop LTS... i hope it will be auto mounted there!

This is because udisks uses a heuristic to decide if it should auto mount a drive. The heuristic is motivated by the desire to not auto mount internal disks/partitions that belong to other operating systems. The heuristic currently makes the assumption that disks connected via a usb bus are external, and disks connected with other buses ( sata, scsi ) are internal, and thus does not mount them. This heuristic is inherently unreliable as usb disks can potentially be internal, and sas/sata disks can be external. Thus, the heuristic needs to be disabled, and all unknown disks need to be auto mounted. Disks detected but left unconfigured at install time should have entries in /etc/fstab set to noauto to prevent their being auto mounted.
