G-v-m seems to get confused when mounting disks with many partitions. I have an
external USB hard drive with two partitions, which g-v-m tries to mount as soon
as the disk is plugged in. Now, several things can happen: both partitions are
mounted under their respective mount points (usbdisk and usbdisk-1 in /media),
only one gets mounted, or both get mounted but the mount points are reversed.
This is a regression, as older versions didn't exhibit this buggy behavior; the
partitions were always mounted at the same mount points. I think this started
with the hal something/d-bus 0.60/GNOME 2.12 update.
Here's what g-v-m logs for a case where the moint points are reversed and only
one partition gets mounted:
[The disk is found...]
manager.c/1425: New Device:
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_OneTouch_II
[but it's not mountable]
manager.c/1431: not a mountable volume:
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_OneTouch_II
[the second partition is found...]
manager.c/1425: New Device:
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_part2_size_3915233280
[and mounted under usbdisk]

[uhm?]
manager.c/1588: Mounted:
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_part2_size_3915233280
[so it fails (the following is translated back from Spanish)]
Error: directory /media/usbdisk is not empty
Error: could not run pmount
Volume_uuid_... is sda1 and volume_part2_... is sda2. The former used to be
always mounted under usbdisk and the latter under usbdisk-1. For some reason
property volume.policy.desired_mount_point is 'usbdisk' for both partitions, at
least right now (I don't know if that's changed).
Unfortunately some applications depend on absolute path names (i.e.
jukebox-like media players) and cannot work properly with changing mount points.

Great, just doing so.
