Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-mount
When mounting an external drive with 3 partitions, I get different mount points/device names every time I mount.
For example:
Partitions 1,2, and 3
/media/disk
/media/disk-1
/media/disk-2
However, every time the drive is remounted, the partitions get mounted at a different mountpoint, this makes my life very difficult as I keep things like my music on the external drive, and constantly updating banshee's info to point to the new mountpoint can be frustrating.

In my experience, if a drive has labeled partitions then the label name will be used instead of "disk". eg on my Ubuntu system I have:
/media/32MB CF
/media/USB128MB
/media/32MB USB
/media/disk
as those were the names I gave those flash memory devices under Windows (the last is an unlabeled 16MB SD card) . I suspect this would work for a partitioned drive as well.
Run "vol_id /dev/sdx1" to see the label of drive x partition 1.
