I can confirm, and it is causing a very non-consistent, frustrating user experience.
This happens with my 6.06, my 6.10, and a friend's 6.06 (all Kubuntu). Since I have to administer her machine this is a real headache and she is considering going back to MS just because her music collection on her external drive keeps moving. KAudioKreator is set to auto-rip CDs. Doesn't work, though, when the device moves from /media/sda1 to /media/sdb1 to /media/external (the volume name, which makes the most sense for a mount point). Amarok cannot find the music in its start up scan. There is no consistency. And the previous mount points (/media/sda1, /media/sdb1) are still in the /Media directory but empty and with nothing attached to them. Clutter is bad. This behavior seems to change with updates; some times it will work fine, and then after an update the whole system is out of whack. And just like the original post said, "Note that the devices don't always swap positions, just enough to be seriously irritating." Seriously. -- Different mount points for usb devices at each boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/70486 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
