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
