Bug Description
Every time I reboot Hardy ever since the last great update, nautilus, or another program keeps adding underscores to my external hdd partition names. To give an example, if the name of my external HDD was Documents, after a reboot it would be named Documents_. Then after another it will be Documents__. So on and so forth. I wouldn't mind so much, but any program that I have that looks for data in my external HDD has to be reset to look for the new name. Programs like Exaile keep coming up saying I have no music until I redirect it to look for the newly named HDD partition. I dual boot my pc with WinXP and have both OSes use Thunderbird. I have both looking at the same exact folders to keep my email from duplicating and being fragmented. This sucks, b/c every time I reboot I have to tell Thunderbird exactly where all my emails and newsgroups are all over again. As you can see I am quite frustrated with this.
Yes, I am suffering exactly the same problem. So my solution is manually delete unused directory in /media, then it will be ok for the next boot. But the thing is you have to delete those unused directory every times. It is annoying but I have no solution at hand now.
