Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager
I think this problem lies in gnome-volume-manager, but it may well lie
in gnome-mount or hal, I don't know. If two external disk drives have
the same vendor name, only one of them will mount. This seems to be due
to conflicting mount points (e.g. in my case, I have two drives that
want to be mounted at /media/WDC USB2). The other drive is perfectly
mountable using pmount or pmount-hal, but will receive a generic mount
point (e.g. 'usbdisk' or 'sd??').
It'd be good if these cases could be detected and handled nicely, such
as having /media/WDC USB2 and /media/WDC USB2 (2), or by returning a
non-cryptic error message and some instructions on a possible remedy.
Even better would be to use the FAT drive label when it exists, but this
problem could still occur of course.
