Comment 18 for bug 1239087

Thank you for reply, David!

>I have an idea of what's wrong here but before I speculate on that, what exactly does "enable automount" mean? Are you referring to having the 'auto' option in the /etc/fstab file?

By "enable automount" I mean these dconf-editor parameters: org.gnome.desktop.media-handling.automount and org.gnome.desktop.media-handling.automount-open (see comment #5). So if I set both parameters to true (in dconf-editor) I get all two partitions of my drive mounted in Nautilus on device connection.

The output of 'gvfs-mount -li' for my WD USB-HDD is as follows:
