A possible workaround could be an fstab entry with the UUID of the Freeagent partition. You can get the UUID with 'sudo vol_id /dev/sdX1' .
/etc/fstab entry: UUID=LONG_NUMBER /media/MOUNTPOINT FILESYSTEM user,defaults 0 0 The user-Option is needed to be able to mount the Freeagent hard disk without root permissions. If you don't want to use the Terminal every time you can write a little Script which un/mounts the hard disk and add this to your Panel or desktop. #!/bin/bash if `mount | grep -q /media/MOUNTPOINT` then umount /media/MOUNTPOINT else mount /media/MOUNTPOINT fi -- external Seagate FreeAgent disk doesn't auto mount https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/126825 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
