Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager
After reformatting a recently-purchased Seagate FreeAgent 320GB external
disk to ext3 (it was supplied as a pre-formatted NTFS drive), it doesn't
automatically mount when plugged in. It's auto-mounted if the disk is
present when the computer is restarted, but unmounting and unplugging
the disk in this condition leads to the same problem. It works as
expected when mounted manually, and it auto-mounted without issues prior
to being reformatted. The disk is connected via USB 2.0, I'm using an
up-to-date installation of Feisty Fawn, and "gnome-volume-manager
--version" reports "gnome-volume-manager version 2.17.0".
Starting gnome-volume-manager in a terminal gives the following output
when the disk is plugged in:
