Wow... this should have been already fixed :-? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22879 > I have tested this and it works on Wheezy; I couldn't say if it applies > to earlier versions. Mmm, as per your last post it seems that the suggested step at the Arch wiki did not work for you. Did you adjust the "DEVPATH" variable accordingly? Also, to test it, you have to reload udev rules or restarting the system and "reconnect" (physically) the drive again instead manually mounting the eSATA partition, of course.
