Bug description:
  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.
