Public bug reported:

If I have an external disk with the name "disk", in Quantal it now
normally gets mounted at /media/rocko/disk.

However, if the disk is not cleanly unmounted (eg if X crashes), the
/media/rocko/disk folder persists and the new time it is auto-mounted at
/media/rocko/disk1, and then /media/rocko/disk2, etc.

This used to be a problem when disks were mounted at eg /media/disk,
then /media/disk_, then /media/disk__, but this bug was fixed a while
ago.

So the program that auto-mounts should really check if
/media/<user>/<diskname> exists and is empty as part of the mount
process.

Apologies if gnome-media is not the correct package for this bug.
