New question #79028 on linux in ubuntu: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+question/79028
Hi, I have an external eSATA disk I use for backups. I am fully able to use it from the command line, so I'm reasonably happy ;) Problem is Nautilus is working just half-way: If I power-up with the disk attached it *is* recognized and Nautilus *does* know it is a remoable disk because it shows the "umount" buttons beside its mount-points (under /media). I can detach the disk just clicking on them and then detaching the drive. At this point (correctly) the partitions disappear from the [Places] menu. If I have an open window on "Computer" the icons do *not* automagically disappear, even after refresh; I don't know if it's significant. Any subsequent opening of "Computer" does not show the (now unavailable) partitions. So far, so good. Problem is if I reattach the drive (or attach it after boot) nothing is displayed anymore in Nautilus.
