[Bug 805046] Re: HDD disappearing after mounting if insufficient privileges

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your
description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful
to read "How to report bugs effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

Title:
  HDD disappearing after mounting if insufficient privileges

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Suppose you have not the necessary privileges to read and write on a
  particular type of media, for example the set of files of a to-be-
  mounted HDD ext4 partition, it disappears after opening (which
  automounts) it through "Places > Computer."

  In other words, without the required permissions to access it, its
  icon there disappears from view once mounted, and does not appear on
  the desktop like other mounted media would either. The icon reappears
  as soon as the hard disk drive is unmounted through the "Disk
  Utility." That only happens if the set of files it contains (or its
  main folder) have not been properly chowned.
