[Bug 153768] Re: External SATA (eSATA) removable disk detected as system-internal

[Martin G Miller]

I have aa ASUS M3N78 Pro mobo with AHCI enabled on the sata ports and 2
of them are set as esata and wired to ports on the back of the case.
They worked fine, automounting in jaunty, but after a clean install of
64 bit karmic, where they worked for a short time, after a few updates,
they stopped automounting.  They do show up in Places, listed right
under the "Computer" icon.  Clicking on them will mount the drives.  One
is NTFS and just mounts, the other has a full install of 32 bit 9.10  in
ext3 and requires authentication to mount.  I'm not convinced this is a
bug, it may be a feature.  The external esata drives are behaving
exactly the same way my 2nd internal sata drive behaves.  It does not
automount unless I put it in /etc/fstab.  This is fine for an internal
dirve, but I would not want to put the externals in fstab, So as long as
they show up in Places, it's not a problem.   As long as I have 1 or 2
click access to the drives, it's ok.  Adding the "Disk Mounter" to the
top panel will give you a quick visual on when the drives are detected
and let you mount and unmount them from there.
