Bug Description
Hello!
Today I've used update manager to update my hardy version, and now every time that I mount my hard drive it will be created a new mount point with the HD name appended by an underscore(_). This only happens every time that I restart my computer. So I've one HD called "ARMAZEM" and the first time that I've mounted it, it was created under "/media/ARMAZEM"; then I've rebooted, and I went to "Places" in nautilus, and double clicked in "ARMAZEM", and it was created another mount point called "/media/ARMAZEM_".
Now I've in the /media directory "/media/ARMAZEM" and "/media/ARMAZEM_", but I can only use "/media/ARMAZEM_" because I don't have permissions to use the other...
I've managed to solve this by unmounting "/media/ARMAZEM_" and "sudo rm -R /media/ARMAZEM". After this I went again to "Places" in nautilus, and double clicked in "ARMAZEM" and it has created the "/media/ARMAZEM" correctly!
Sorry for my bad English :P
I can confirm this bug. I have loaded Ubuntu in a partition alongside Windows. When mounting the NTFS volumes a new mount location is created under /media with an appended _. I have added my music from one of the NTFS partitions to Rhythmbox and now, after a restart, it is going through the library finding every file missing because of this bug.
Checking the /media folder reviels that all my mounted volumes have duplicate mount folders with an appended underscore including my portable USB drive that has some 6 duplications eg ExtHDD, ExtHDD_, ExtHDD__, ExtHDD___, ExtHDD____, ExtHDD_____
as demonstrated by the above user case with music on a Windows NTFS volume this is quite a problem. of course this could be worked around by having a static mount point in FSTAB but this seriously undermines the point of mounting volumes via the GUI.
