[Launchpad Bug Tracker <153768@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

eSATA disks are are not auto mounted when plugged in.  This is because
udisks uses a heuristic to decide if it should auto mount a drive.  The
heuristic is motivated by the desire to not auto mount internal
disks/partitions that belong to other operating systems.  The heuristic
currently makes the assumption that disks connected via a usb bus are
external, and disks connected with other buses ( sata, scsi ) are
internal, and thus does not mount them.  This heuristic is inherently
unreliable as usb disks can potentially be internal, and sas/sata disks
can be external.  Thus, the heuristic needs to be disabled, and all
unknown disks need to be auto mounted.  Disks detected but left
unconfigured at install time should have entries in /etc/fstab set to
noauto to prevent their being auto mounted.
