[Bug 1263013] Re: External (USB) HDDs are not automounted in 13.10

[Giovanni Lagorio]

I think this bug is specific of MyBook drives with ID 1058:1170 because
I have two MyBook drives (one 1140, the other 1170) and only the 1170
one gives problems. That is, the 1170 is not automounted by the system,
while the other MyBook drive, and all USB pendrives I have tested, work
as expected.

Moreover, I've noticed that the 1170 gets listed by lsusb and blkid, but
does not get listed inside /dev/disk/by-uuid/ and its partition is not
listed in /dev/disk/by-id either.

Note that /dev/sdd1, the partition with UUID="180...", does not appear in neither listings.
Anyway, I can manually mount it (with sudo mount...) and it appears to work fine.

udisks --mount /dev/sdd1
Mounted /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdd1 at /media/disk

Title:
  External (USB) HDDs are not automounted in 13.10

Status in “udisks” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I don't know if this is a bug in Ubuntu or Unity. If I plug in my
  external HDD, its partitions do not appear on the Launcher, neither is
  it automounted in Nautilus. Regular (root) mount works. I have just
  installed 13.10 yesterday; the drive worked with 12.04.

  OS: Ubuntu 13.10
  HDD: Western Digital My Book 3TB, with two partitions:
                  - primary NTFS, 2 TiB
                  - logical Ext4, the rest
