Title:
  upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 has changed the path where a partition is
  automatically mounted

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a NTFS partition labelled "NTFS_50GB".

  I don't remember how I set it up, but it used to get automatically
  mounted at /media/NTFS_50GB

  Now, after upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04, this has changed and it gets
  mounted at /medta/teo/NTFS_50GB

  (teo is my username).

  This breaks, among other things, a virtual machine of mine in VirtualBox that uses a file in that folder.
  I guess I can easily fix that, but such things should not be touched by an upgrade without warning the user during the upgrade process.

  I also have another partition that hasn't changed the place where it
  gets mounted; I guess that's because I have explicitely configured
  that in /etc/fstab. However, the upgrade manager should warn the user
  about this change in the default mountpoint and also ask whether the
  user whishes to accept the change or keep the setting as before.
